After reading the initial question, I interpreted it the same way as Paulo. Reading your follow-up, I see that generic tags probably won't help: you don't know in advance where the column will split. I've looked at the code very briefly (I'm sorry, I really don't have much time this week), but maybe the method writeLineToContent in PdfDocument should return an X value that can be captured by ColumnText. What you need is PdfLine.getLeft() + PdfLine.GetLineLengthUtf32() of the last line that is added. However, if there is "glue" in the line, or if the line is justified, the method writeLineToContent will add extra spacing. Post a reply to the list if you don't have the time to look at this before Sunday. Maybe I'll find some time to work something out then, or you can share your experience if this (very premature) suggestion leads nowhere (in which case, I'll have to think of another way to achieve what you need). -- This answer is provided by 1T3XT BVBA http://www.1t3xt.com/ - http://www.1t3xt.info ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ iText-questions mailing list iText-questions@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/itext-questions Buy the iText book: http://www.itextpdf.com/book/ Check the site with examples before you ask questions: http://www.1t3xt.info/examples/ You can also search the keywords list: http://1t3xt.info/tutorials/keywords/
