iTextSharp: How to position and wrap long text?
- by aximili
The PDF I can produce at the moment:
I want the text to fill up the space in the lower left. How can I do that? Thanks!
This is my code:
private static void CreatePdf4(string pdfFilename, string heading, string text, string[] photos, string emoticon)
{
Document document = new Document(PageSize.A4.Rotate(), 26, 36, 0, 0);
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(document, new FileStream(pdfFilename, FileMode.Create));
document.Open();
// Heading
Paragraph pHeading = new Paragraph(new Chunk(heading, FontFactory.GetFont(FontFactory.HELVETICA, 54, Font.NORMAL)));
document.Add(pHeading);
// Photo 1
Image img1 = Image.GetInstance(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("/uploads/photos/" + photos[0]));
img1.ScaleAbsolute(350, 261);
img1.SetAbsolutePosition(46, 220);
img1.Alignment = Image.TEXTWRAP;
document.Add(img1);
// Photo 2
Image img2 = Image.GetInstance(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("/uploads/photos/" + photos[1]));
img2.ScaleAbsolute(350, 261);
img2.SetAbsolutePosition(438, 220);
img2.Alignment = Image.TEXTWRAP;
document.Add(img2);
// Text
//Paragraph pText = new Paragraph(new Chunk(text, FontFactory.GetFont(FontFactory.HELVETICA, 18, Font.NORMAL)));
//pText.SpacingBefore = 30;
//pText.IndentationLeft = 20;
//pText.IndentationRight = 366;
//document.Add(pText);
PdfContentByte cb = writer.DirectContent;
cb.BeginText();
cb.SetFontAndSize(BaseFont.CreateFont(BaseFont.HELVETICA, BaseFont.CP1252, false), 18);
cb.SetTextMatrix(46, 175);
cb.ShowText(text);
cb.EndText();
// Photo 3
Image img3 = Image.GetInstance(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("/uploads/photos/" + photos[2]));
img3.ScaleAbsolute(113, 153);
img3.SetAbsolutePosition(556, 38);
document.Add(img3);
// Emoticon
Image imgEmo = Image.GetInstance(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("/Content/images/" + emoticon));
imgEmo.ScaleToFit(80, 80);
imgEmo.SetAbsolutePosition(692, 70);
document.Add(imgEmo);
document.Close();
}
