all,
I'm a bit of a neophyte with iText, but I couldn't find an example of this
that seemed to fit my usage in the archives. I'm generating a table of contents
with titles and sub-titles that are left aligned and I want to right align the
page number with 'dots' filling in the space between the 2, like so:
Item A......................................................1-1
Item B......................................................1-3
Item C......................................................1-5
I've tried a couple of different approaches, a Paragraph with Chunk's, tables
and nothing seems to get it quite right. My current approach is to use a 2
column table with the items left aligned in column 1 and the page numbers right
aligned in column 2 as follows (edited for simplicity):
tbl=new PdfPTable(2);
tbl.setWidths(new int[] { 80, 20 });
tbl.setWidthPercentage(100);
chunk=new Chunk("Item A",fontTableOfContents);
phrase = new Phrase(chunk);
phrase.add(new Chunk(new DottedLineSeparator()));
cell=new PdfPCell(prase);
cell.setHorizontalAlignment(Element.ALIGN_LEFT);
tbl.addCell(cell);
chunk=new Chunk("1-1,fontTableOfContents);
phrase = new Phrase(chunk);
cell=new PdfPCell(prase);
cell.setHorizontalAlignment(Element.ALIGN_RIGHT);
tbl.addCell(cell);
pdfdoc.add(tbl);
The result is that the dots runs cleat across the page, even extending into
the right margin. What am I missing here? Is DottedLineSeparator not the proper
class for this purpose?
TIA,
Bob
