	How can I keep text from interfering with line drawings/shapes? by Justin Griffiths :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message Some parts of this message have been removed. Learn more about Nabble's security policy. Using iTextSharp, I am creating PDFs of absolutely positioned text (SetSimpleColumn) and lines. It seems that the text is shifting the position of some lines. When I remove all of the text, the lines return to their proper location. This is unexpected behavior. I've tried using DirectContentUnder to draw the lines under the text, but this doesn't seem to have any real effect - except that the text does appear over the lines. How can I draw lines that will not move or shift position with regards to text? Thank you in advance for any help you can offer. JG This email is intended solely for the recipient.
