I have a use case where I need to build a fairly complicated table in the header and footer of a document. It appears that the TextState is not being applied when the table is rendered. Here is the simplest example I could come up with to demonstrate this:
Document pdf = new Document();
Page page = pdf.Pages.Add();
TextSegment segment = new TextSegment(“This is some large blue text!”);
segment.TextState.Font = FontRepository.FindFont(“Times New Roman”);
segment.TextState.FontSize = 20;
segment.TextState.ForegroundColor = Color.Blue;
segment.TextState.FontStyle = FontStyles.Bold;
TextFragment fragment = new TextFragment();
fragment.Segments.Add(segment);
Table table = new Table();
table.ColumnWidths = “400”;
Row row = table.Rows.Add();
Cell cell = row.Cells.Add();
cell.Paragraphs.Add(fragment);
HeaderFooter header = new HeaderFooter();
page.Header = header;
// text is formatted correctly when added to page body
page.Paragraphs.Add(table);
// the exact same text is not formatted when added to header or footer
header.Paragraphs.Add(table);
pdf.Save(@“c:\headtable.pdf”);
Please let me know if there is something I should do differently or if this is a bug.
