ColumnText bug - After adding a PdfTable

Rate this Message:
After adding a PdfTable to the ColumnText via AddElement no AddText will ever work.
If I AddText a bunch of stuff then AddElement the PdfTable THEN call the Go(); all stuff in the AddText isn't added. But if I do AddText -> Go -> AddElement -> Go the added text is displayed. The problem is, I want text after the AddElement and it just won't show. Adding several PdfTables in a row works nice tho. But not AddText after one AddElement on a PdfTable is done. Anyone know why this might be happening? Tough luck, huh? Edit: I've read: http://www.nabble.com/DottedLineSeparator-and-paragraph-alignment-td23763684.html I'm not sure how I'm supposed to make a flowing layout without adding the table into the columntext. |

If I read the book, "iText in Action" correctly, I think this is by design.
ColumnText object operates in either text mode (phrases and chunks) or composite mode. It can't do both at the same time. The relevant quote from chaper 7 page 210 is "Switching to composite mode is done implicitly by using the method add- Element(). All the text that was added in text mode previously and that hasn’t been rendered yet will be cleared as soon as you use addElement(). You may already have noticed this when using PdfPCell. If you create a cell with a paragraph as a parameter for the constructor and subsequently use PdfPCell.add- Element(), the first paragraph is lost. This isn’t a bug; it’s a feature. (Honest!)"

Thank you very much for explaining that. Since you seem to know a bit about iTextSharp...:
Can you explain to me how exactly how I'm supposed to create a flow layout such as the one below then? I would like to make: BoldHeadLineText Some text with several lines (can differ in amount of lines) A space inbetween BoldHeadLineText Some text with several lines (can differ in amount of lines) A space inbetween A 2 column table with several info A space inbetween A 4 or 3 (depending on if field is filled) column table with several statuses A space inbetween BoldHeadLineText Some text with several lines (can differ in amount of lines)

Just use paragraph objects with AddElement instead of using AddText
for the text. Will Rickards On Fri, Jun 12, 2009 at 6:14 PM, Elrinth<elrinth@...> wrote: > > Thank you very much for explaining that.
