How to insert Text in a given position with the given font

Rate this Message:
Hi, this is my first post.
I have to insert some text in a itextsharp document. In few words: I have to write something similar to a ASP.NET label inside a PDF. It could be great if I can specify position and dimension with a Rectangle object, and the font with a Font object (since I have to write the text with color, style and underline previously specified in the font object). Is there a way to do this? (sorry for my bad English) |

here's what I use :
protected static void PlaceText(PdfContentByte pdfContentByte , string text , iTextSharp.text.Font font , float lowerLeftx , float lowerLefty , float upperRightx , float upperRighty , float leading , int alignment) { ColumnText ct = new ColumnText(pdfContentByte); ct.SetSimpleColumn(new Phrase(text, font), lowerLeftx, lowerLefty, upperRightx, upperRighty, leading, alignment); ct.Go(); } and I call it like this : PlaceText(pdfWriter.DirectContent, "Whatever you'd like to write", new Font(Font.HELVETICA, 9, Font.NORMAL), 316, 750, 585, 790, 14, Element.ALIGN_RIGHT); On Mon, Sep 14, 2009 at 6:36 AM, notoriousxl <notoriousxl@...> wrote:

Thank you very much :) (your example helped me to understand what all those llx, urx, ... stand for)
Now, I'm going to ask you an impossible question: is there a way to rotate the text (90°, 180°, 270°) inside this label?

It may be easier to use a PdfPTable cell and benefit from the cell rotation if you are not at ease with matrix transformations.

Ok :) I've achivied some results (thanks for your help so far, all of you), both with PdfContentByte + SetTextMatrix and PdfPCell. The problems so far: 1) SetTextMatrix: the following code works just fine... PdfContentByte cb = writer.DirectContent; BaseFont bf = BaseFont.CreateFont(BaseFont.HELVETICA, BaseFont.CP1252, BaseFont.NOT_EMBEDDED); cb.BeginText(); cb.SetFontAndSize(bf, 12); cb.SetTextMatrix(0, -1, 1, 0, 200, 300); // x = 200, y = 300 cb.ShowText("Rotation 180°"); cb.Stroke(); cb.EndText(); ... but, since I have to set the font style (bold, italic, underlined), I can't do that with BaseFont... I need a Font object 2) PdfPCell: With this cell I can use a Font object (and I can set things such the border, which I have to do anyway), but... the following code doesn't display any text, only the cell's background and border: var cell = new PdfPCell(new Phrase("Hello", new Font(BaseFont.CreateFont(BaseFont.COURIER, BaseFont.CP1252, BaseFont.NOT_EMBEDDED), 20, Font.STRIKETHRU))); cell.BackgroundColor = Color.YELLOW; cell.BorderColor = Color.BLACK; cell.BorderWidth = 2; cell.Rotation = 90; cell.Left = 100; cell.Bottom = 200; //it should be the cell's position document.Add(cell); I should also set cell's position, width and height. Any idea? |

UPDATE: using a PdfPCell everything works fine; the only problem is the vertical alignment. No matter what I do ( cell.Padding = myConstant; cell.VerticalAlignment = PdfPCell.ALIGN_MIDDLE; ) the text doesn't center vertically (I can see this setting a border on my cell). It's as if padding top is greater than padding bottom (and the text "escapes" from the bottom border). Is there a solution to this? |

If you have a single cell the cell's size will be that of the text. Call PdfPCell.FixedHeight to see the text align.
