Add table to existing pdf can’t set ideal position

@Adnan.Ahmad

Hi there, I follow the example of AddTableInExistingPDFDocument to add table in existing pdf, but I can’t
set the position where I want(somewhere is near the right border), so I want konw is there any other examples that help me.

My File

document_with_table.pdf (283.6 KB)

Code

There is my code:

public static void addTableInExistingPDFDocument(String dataDir) {
        Document doc = new Document(dataDir + "demo.pdf");
        Table table = new Table();
        table.setTop(15f);
        table.setLeft(450f);
        table.setColumnWidths("50 50 50");
        table.setBorder(new BorderInfo(BorderSide.All, .5f, Color.fromArgb(0, 45, 255)));
        table.setDefaultCellBorder(new BorderInfo(BorderSide.Box, .5f, Color.fromArgb(0, 45, 255)));
        TextState textState = new TextState(10d);
        textState.setHorizontalAlignment(HorizontalAlignment.Center);
        table.setDefaultCellTextState(textState);
        table.setZIndex(9999);
        table.setInNewPage(true);
        table.setBackgroundColor(Color.getRed());

        MarginInfo margin = new MarginInfo();
        margin.setTop(5f);
        margin.setLeft(3f);
        margin.setRight(3f);
        margin.setBottom(5f);

        table.setDefaultCellPadding(margin);

        Row row1 = table.getRows().add();
        row1.getCells().add("全宗号");
        row1.getCells().add("年度");
        row1.getCells().add("件号");

        Row row2 = table.getRows().add();
        row2.getCells().add("问题");
        row2.getCells().add("保管期限");
        row2.getCells().add("页数");

        doc.getPages().get_Item(1).getParagraphs().add(table);
        doc.save(dataDir + "document_with_table.pdf");
    }

Thanks!

Thanks for responding.
When I use table method setColumnAdjustment with ColumnAdjustment.AutoFitToContent , I almost get what I want. But the column content disordered. So I don’t konw how to do . I set the table position
with the method setTop and setLeft, I think it not working. And also the setDefaultColumnWidth.

Document doc = new Document(dataDir + "3c77da1ad8f84a08b606a89f2be05832.pdf");
Table table = new Table();
// I want fixed the table position
table.setAlignment(HorizontalAlignment.Right);
table.setTop(15f);
table.setLeft(425f);

//fixed the column widths
table.setColumnWidths("50 50 50");
table.setDefaultColumnWidth("50");
table.setCornerStyle(BorderCornerStyle.Round);
table.setColumnAdjustment(ColumnAdjustment.AutoFitToContent);
//set content center
table.setVerticalAlignment(VerticalAlignment.Center);

table.setBorder(new BorderInfo(BorderSide.All, .5f, Color.fromArgb(0, 45, 255)));
table.setDefaultCellBorder(new BorderInfo(BorderSide.All, .5f, Color.fromArgb(0, 45, 255)));
table.getDefaultCellTextState().setFontSize(8F);
table.getDefaultCellTextState().setForegroundColor(Color.fromArgb(0, 45, 255));
table.getDefaultCellTextState().setHorizontalAlignment(HorizontalAlignment.Center);

table.setDefaultCellPadding(new MarginInfo(1f, 5f, 1f, 5f));

Row row1 = table.getRows().add();
row1.getCells().add("Item");
row1.getCells().add("Item");
row1.getCells().add("Item");

Row row2 = table.getRows().add();
row2.getCells().add("Item");
row2.getCells().add("Item");
row2.getCells().add("Item");

doc.getPages().get_Item(1).getParagraphs().add(table);
doc.save(dataDir + "document_with_table.pdf");
