As for your question, I assume you don't want the first table to be extended. In that case, you should adapt your code like this: import java.io.FileOutputStream; import com.itextpdf.text.Document; import com.itextpdf.text.PageSize; import com.itextpdf.text.Phrase; import com.itextpdf.text.pdf.PdfPCell; import com.itextpdf.text.pdf.PdfPTable; import com.itextpdf.text.pdf.PdfWriter; public class PDFTest { public static void main(String args[]) { try { Document d = new Document(PageSize.A4, 0, 0, 0, 0); String filename = "pdf.pdf";; PdfWriter.getInstance(d, new FileOutputStream(filename)); d.open(); PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(2); PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell(); cell.addElement(getTable(3)); table.addCell(cell); cell = new PdfPCell(); cell.addElement(getTable(5)); table.addCell(cell); d.add(table); d.close(); } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } private static PdfPTable getTable(int rows) { PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(1); for (int i = 0; i < rows; i++) { PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell(new Phrase("test")); table.addCell(cell); } table.setWidthPercentage(100); table.setExtendLastRow(false); return table; } } ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Try before you buy = See our experts in action!
