Hi,
I am quite new to iText and trying to accomplish the following:
-read a list of text files from local hd
-arrange the texts of the files in a 2-column layout pdf file
-add a consecutively numbered index before each text
I started with the MovieColumns1 example (
http://itextpdf.com/examples/iia.php?id=64) and ended up with the following
code:
final float[][] COLUMNS_COORDS = { { 36, 36, 296, 806 }, { 299, 36,
559, 806 } };
Document document = new Document(PageSize.A4);
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, resultFile);
document.open();
ColumnText ct = new ColumnText(writer.getDirectContent());
ct.setSimpleColumn(COLUMNS_COORDS[0][0], COLUMNS_COORDS[0][1],
COLUMNS_COORDS[0][2], COLUMNS_COORDS[0][3]);
File textDir = new File("c:/Users/raddatz/Desktop/123/texts/");
File[] files = textDir.listFiles();
int i = 1;
int column = 0;
for (File file : files) {
String text = FileUtils.readFileToString(file, "UTF-8");
float yLine = ct.getYLine();
System.out.println("adding '" + file.getName() + "'");
PdfPCell theText = new PdfPCell(new Phrase(text, new
Font(Font.HELVETICA, 10)));
theText.setBorder(Rectangle.NO_BORDER);
theText.setPaddingBottom(10);
PdfPCell runningNumber = new PdfPCell(new Phrase(new
DecimalFormat("00").format(i++), new Font(
Font.HELVETICA, 14, Font.BOLDITALIC,
new Color(0.7f, 0.7f, 0.7f))));
runningNumber.setBorder(Rectangle.NO_BORDER);
runningNumber.setPaddingBottom(10);
PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(2);
table.setWidths(new int[] { 12, 100 });
table.addCell(runningNumber);
table.addCell(theText);
ct.addElement(table);
int status = ct.go(true);
if (ColumnText.hasMoreText(status)) {
column = Math.abs(column - 1);
if (column == 0) {
document.newPage();
System.out.println("inserting new page with size :" +
document.getPageSize());
}
ct.setSimpleColumn(
COLUMNS_COORDS[column][0], COLUMNS_COORDS[column][1],
COLUMNS_COORDS[column][2], COLUMNS_COORDS[column][3]);
yLine = COLUMNS_COORDS[column][3];
System.out.println("correcting yLine to: " + yLine);
} else {
ct.addElement(table);
}
ct.setYLine(yLine);
System.out.println("before adding: " + ct.getYLine());
status = ct.go(false);
System.out.println("after adding: " + ct.getYLine());
System.out.println("--------------------------------");
}
document.close();
Here you can find my test text files:
http://d.pr/f/Lzk0
Here you can see the result:
http://d.pr/f/NEmx
Looking at the first page of the resulting PDF I assumed everything was
working out fine.
But on second page you can see the problem(s):
-text #31 is not displayed completely (first line + index is cut / not in
visible area)
-text #46 is not displayed completely (first three lines + index is cut /
not in visible area)
On page 3 everything seems to be ok again. I am really lost here.
Looking forward to your reply
regards,
sven
