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 your inquiry. All text of the document is stored in runs of text. Please use following code to get the desired output.

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);

Run run1 = new Run(doc, "Text on left side " + ControlChar.TAB );
run1.getFont().setSize(12.0);
newPara.appendChild(run1);
Run run2 = new Run(doc, "Text with right alignment");
run2.getFont().setSize(16.0);
newPara.appendChild(run2);

doc.getLastSection().getBody().insertAfter(newPara,doc.getLastSection().getBody().getLastParagraph());

I need your help in this. I want to insert some text with specific formatting left aligned in footer and page number (page field like x of y) in the same line (i.e footer section) , right aligned with some specific formatting. This is my use case. I am unable to have different alignment on the same line. Help will be really appreciated.

Thanks for the help.

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.
