From: SALAZAR, DANTE [mailto:digitron...@cwpanama.net] Subject: [iText-questions] Vertical Position of the first paragraph
How can I set the vertical position of the first paragraph? I can use GetVerticalPosition and SpacingBefore to set the vertical position of successive paragraphs, but not for the first one. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: Leo Donahue - RDSA IT <leodona...@mail.maricopa.gov> Don't you have to set these before you add the Paragraph to the document or some other element? I don't think you can set the vertical position of a Paragraph *after* it has been added. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: SALAZAR, DANTE [mailto:digitron...@cwpanama.net] Sent: Wednesday, August 14, 2013 6:51 PM To: Post all your questions about iText here Subject: Re: [iText-questions] Vertical Position of the first paragraph Yes, I need to set the vertical position first, but how? My code is something like this x = "Bla bla bla ....." prf = New Paragraph(x, fnt) k = wr.GetVerticalPosition(False) If k > 600 Then prf.SpacingBefore = 100 Doc.Add(prf) If x is the firts paragraph I am going to print, k=720 and I want to print it at position 620, so I set SpacingBefore=100, but when I saw the document, the text is printed at the bigining of the page (720), not at position 620. My question 1 is, is SpacingBefore the correct way to do this, or there is something like wr.SetVerticalPosition=620. Question 2, why don't works SpacingBefore in this case. Thanks ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ You just want to indent your paragraph by 100? setIndentationLeft(100) That is not working for you? Spacing before actually is the spacing "above" the paragraph element. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Get 100% visibility into Java/.NET code with AppDynamics Lite!
