I found it.
A line from my first post: add(new PdfPCell(t)); <<<----- NOT GOOD!!!!!!
I was putting my table INTO a cell and then placing THAT cell in the
table. I must say, this does not work.
I was thinking Element when I did that.
In other words:
I went from this - (you can ignore most of the semantics)
PdfPTable t = new PdfPTable (1);
t.setTotalWidth(W);
//t.setKeepTogether(true);
//t.setWidthPercentage(100);
PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell (new Phrase(label, DOC_FONT));
cell.setFixedHeight(H * .85f);
//cell.setBorder(Rectangle.NO_BORDER);
t.addCell(cell);
/* if (post.length() > 4 || post.length() < 12) {
BarcodePostnet pnbc = new BarcodePostnet();
pnbc.setCode(post);
cell = new PdfPCell(pnbc.createImageWithBarcode(cb, null,null));
cell.setFixedHeight(H * .15f);
//cell.setBorder(Rectangle.NO_BORDER);
t.addCell(cell);
}*/
add(new PdfPCell(t)); <<---NOT GOOD!!!!
}
/ * ---------------- NEXT METHOD --------------------- */
public void add (PdfPCell cell){ //I was calling this method above
/* adds the actual cell to the table */
/* Every add() calls this method */
cell.setFixedHeight(H);
cell.setNoWrap(NO_CELL_WRAP);
cell.setPaddingLeft(CELL_LEFT_PADDING);
cell.setVerticalAlignment(VALIGNMENT);
cell.setHorizontalAlignment(HALIGNMENT);
if (!DEBUG) cell.setBorder(Rectangle.NO_BORDER); //show table
borders in DEBUG mode
how_many++; //total amount of labels
counter++; // 'int counter' keeps track of how many times
// this method is called within a range of X (X = ACROSS)
table.addCell("");
table.addCell(cell);
if (counter == ACROSS) table.addCell(""); //at the end
if (counter == ACROSS) counter = 0; //if at the end reset the
counter
}
/***/
To this -
PdfPTable t = new PdfPTable (1);
t.setTotalWidth(W);
//t.setKeepTogether(true);
//t.setWidthPercentage(100);
PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell (new Phrase(label, DOC_FONT));
cell.setFixedHeight(H * .85f);
//cell.setBorder(Rectangle.NO_BORDER);
t.addCell(cell); /// NOT MUCH CHANGED HERE
/* if (post.length() > 4 || post.length() < 12) {
BarcodePostnet pnbc = new BarcodePostnet();
pnbc.setCode(post);
cell = new PdfPCell(pnbc.createImageWithBarcode(cb, null,null));
cell.setFixedHeight(H * .15f);
//cell.setBorder(Rectangle.NO_BORDER);
t.addCell(cell);
}*/
add(t); <<---CHANGED
}
//now calls this method that adds the nested table without placing it in a
cell first. (the way its supposed to be done :)
public void add (PdfPTable nt){
/* adds the provided table to THE table */
how_many++; //total amount of labels
counter++; // 'int counter' keeps track of how many times
// this method is called within a range of X (X = ACROSS)
table.addCell("");
table.addCell(nt);
if (counter == ACROSS) table.addCell(""); //at the end
if (counter == ACROSS) counter = 0; //if at the end reset the
counter
}
WORKS GREAT!!!
Thanks for all your time and hope this helps someone.
