Actually my use case is to have one text left formatted and the other right formatted on the same line.
I set the paragraph alignment to left and insert text and then again set the paragraph alignment to right and insert the text.
But in the resultant document , all the text is right aligned.Please help.
Thanks for your inquiry. Please use the following code example to get the desired output. Hope this helps you.
Document doc = new Document();
Paragraph newPara = new Paragraph(doc);
TabStop tab = new TabStop(6.27 * 72, TabAlignment.RIGHT, TabLeader.NONE);
newPara.getParagraphFormat().getTabStops().add(tab);
newPara.appendChild(new Run(doc, "Text on left side " + ControlChar.TAB + "Text with right alignment"));
doc.getLastSection().getBody().insertAfter(newPara,doc.getLastSection().getBody().getLastParagraph());
doc.save(MyDir + "Out.docx");Thanks for the reply.
My use case is also to have different fonts for the left aligned text and right aligned text.

Actually my placement/alignment of footer text and page number is chosen by the user. I was wondering how could i solve the combinations of them , like for above example we have combination of left aligned and right aligned .
How to do ‘center aligned and right aligned’ and ‘left aligned and center aligned’. Changing the tab alignment did not work. I think we need to change the position. Please help.
Thanks for your inquiry. In your case, we suggest you please create a table with one row that have three cells with equal width. Please move the cursor to the desired cell and insert the contents. Hope this helps you.
