Can somebody please point out what I'm doing wrong. I've setup a table with two columns, but I'm having trouble getting content to span both columns.
I add a header across two columns with centered text which works fine, but when I add left justified content the copy only occupies the first column, but the strange thing is that the colored background is across both columns. I've attached the relevant code below: PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(2); table.setWidthPercentage(100); // this renders fine PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell(new Phrase("Sample Header Across two columns", boldText)); cell.setHorizontalAlignment(Element.ALIGN_CENTER); cell.setBackgroundColor(PxsConstants.BASIS32_LIGHT_GREEN); cell.setBorder(Rectangle.NO_BORDER); cell.setPadding(2); cell.setPaddingTop(4); cell.setColspan(2); cell.setBorderWidthTop(2f); cell.setBorderColorTop(Color.BLACK); table.addCell(cell); // the text in these cells only renders in the first column, but the background color is across both for(ResponseData result: dataList){ if(new Integer(0).equals(result.getIntegerData())){ cell = new PdfPCell(new Phrase(result.getQuestion().getLocalisedDetails(), regularText)); cell.setColspan(2); cell.setBackgroundColor(cellBack); cell.setHorizontalAlignment(Element.ALIGN_LEFT); cell.setBorder(Rectangle.NO_BORDER); cell.setPaddingLeft(35); table.addCell(cell); } } -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/PdfPCell-Content-no-filling-entire-colspan-tp25189334p25189334.html Sent from the iText - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
