Hello Paulo, Thanks for the hint! I had a look at that functinality and checked, if ColumnText.go() supports any column-oriented events. In 2.1.7 I did not see anything.
I do not see, how tagged chunks would help me, as I do not know beforehand at what word the end of the column will be reached? The required event is not content-related but rendering-related. Or did you mean - tag all chunks - build a handler, that is called whenever a chunk is processed - make that handler remember the latest position - use that position after go() returns to put the image into the right place ? Still, my chunks hold several words and the words will be hyphenated. So that does not sound precise enough. Also, the book states on page 126, Chp4.6.1 "... this event is not triggered immediately after the Chunk object is added to the document..." I guess, the sequence of events is not garanteed too. I see two other options to implement the desired functionality: - put code into ColumnText.go() to generate an event whenever the column if full or the text ends. Then pass the current position in that event object - change ColumnText, so the current position can be obtained with getXPos() Any opinion on those?

Hello, I have to position an image-icon precisely at the end of a text-column (when the ColumnText has more text). The text is left-aligned, so the position of the last glyph varies horizontally. I get the vertical position with ct.getYLine(). But I have not found a similar way to find the horizontal position. The writer also seems to have only the vertical position?
