Hi all!
To start off, let me say that I'm using iText 5.3.5 to build PDF files on
*Android*.
First (smaller) problem is, how to have a "static" page header for
multi-page header that also includes (important!) a picture from Android
resources (or) assets? Is there an easy way to insert a Drawable into the
PDF generating process or is the conversion to com.itextpdf.text.Image
through byteArray necessary (which I've tried but ran into some problems):
Drawable d = context.getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.logo);
Bitmap bitmap = ((BitmapDrawable) d).getBitmap();
ByteArrayOutputStream stream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 100, stream);
byte[] bitmapdata = stream.toByteArray();
try {
com.itextpdf.text.Image image =
com.itextpdf.text.Image.getInstance(bitmapdata);
} catch (...)
{...}
Second problem - I have to build a table in which I don't add rows but
columns, i.e. first column is "static" and should repeat on every page, and
the number of pages varies depending on how many columns are generated (it's
sort of a report so I can't know beforehand).
Consider this scenario:
List<Car> cars = // get the list
for (Car car : cars) {
// make a column with associated data in each cell
}
To produce something like this:
____________________________________
| | Car 1 | Car 2 | Car 3 | ...... (possibly overflows to a
second, third, ... page
|Year | 1989 | 2006 | 2009 |
|Country | GER | FRA | ITA |
|Manufac | Audi | Seat | Fiat |
| ... | | | |

Sorry for the horrible formatting :)
I was googleing various solutions & suggestions but couldn't figure out this
(probably easy) problem, being a new user for iText. I looked at some
examples for ColumnText but for the heck of it can't figure out what it
exactly does or is it applicable for this problem. Unfortunately I can't
change the table design, it has to be generated this way.
Any sample code would be much appreciated!
