Re: Absolute Postion of Bolded Text?

Okay, I'm very confused now with the positioning of column text. I figured out that the BOTTOM of the page is zero so to draw downwards but I cannot seem to reliably place the text. If I subtract the text height

txtHeight = bf.GetAscentPoint("XXX", lbl.Font.Size) - bf.GetDescentPoint("XXX", lbl.Font.Size);

from the 'top' of the LETTER sized document (842) it draws off the top of the page. Even worse, if I change to bottom coordinate 'ury' of an ALIGN_TOP column text, it moves the text position. Here is my sample code for drawing the column text

txtHeight = bf.GetAscentPoint("XXX", lbl.Font.Size) -
bf.GetDescentPoint("XXX", lbl.Font.Size);

float top = 780;
float bot = top + txtHeight * 2;
Phrase phrase3 = new Phrase(top.ToString(), font);
ct.SetSimpleColumn(phrase3, 10, top, 100, bot, 1, Element.ALIGN_TOP);
ct.Go();

I kind of got it working with ColumnText. But I will look into datatables. I am trying to copy labels from a C# form into a pdf.

ct = new ColumnText(cb);
Font font2 = new Font(bf, lbl.Font.Size, (int)lbl.Font.Style);
Phrase phrase2 = new Phrase("1", font);
ct.SetSimpleColumn(phrase2, 10, h, 100, 10, 1, Element.ALIGN_TOP);
ct.Go();

Try this:

iTextSharp.text.Font fBoldFont =
FontFactory.GetFont(FontFactory.HELVETICA, 8,
iTextSharp.text.Font.BOLD);
datatable.AddCell(new Paragraph(colName.ToUpper(), fBoldFont));

Subject: [itextsharp-questions] Absolute Postion of Bolded Text?

Hello. I'm pretty new to iText and just went thru the tutorial but could
not
find a way to set text with a bolded font absolutely in a document
(ShowTextAligned() only allows the basefont). Is there a way to do this?
(shortly I will need styles like italic as well)

Thanks for any help.
