I have used the following code to fill my PdfPTable:
public PdfPTable GetTable(List<hsp_Narudzbe_IzdavanjeFakture4_Result> proizvodi)
{
PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(5);
table.WidthPercentage = 100F;
table.DefaultCell.UseAscender = true;
table.DefaultCell.UseDescender = true;
Font f = new Font(Font.FontFamily.HELVETICA, 13);
f.Color = BaseColor.WHITE;
PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell(new Phrase("Stavke narudžbe: ", f));
cell.BackgroundColor = BaseColor.BLACK;
cell.HorizontalAlignment = Element.ALIGN_CENTER;
cell.Colspan = 5;
table.AddCell(cell);
for (int i = 0; i < 2; i++)
{
table.AddCell("Redni broj");
table.AddCell("Proizvod");
table.AddCell("Cijena");
table.AddCell("Šifra proizvoda");
table.AddCell("Kolicina");
}
table.DefaultCell.BackgroundColor = BaseColor.LIGHT_GRAY;
table.HeaderRows = 3;
table.FooterRows = 1;
int broj = 0;
table.DeleteLastRow();
foreach (hsp_Narudzbe_IzdavanjeFakture4_Result p in proizvodi)
{
broj++;
table.AddCell(broj.ToString());
table.AddCell(p.Naziv);
table.AddCell(p.Cijena);
table.AddCell(p.Sifra);
table.AddCell(p.Kolicina.ToString());
}
float[] widths = { 15.00F, 15.00F,15.00F,15.00F};
table.GetRow(1).SetWidths(widths);
return table;
}
Little explanation of code:
broj++; represents the row number which gets incremented each time a new row is added. That way I get the number for each row.
Now my question is: how can I manipulate width of the first column (which represents the row number). I have tried the following code:
float[] widths = { 15.00F, 15.00F,15.00F,15.00F};
table.GetRow(1).SetWidths(widths);
Can someone help me out with this ?
Combining your original post and your comment, I see two questions:
You want to create a table where the first column isn't as wide as the other columns.
You want the content in those columns to be center-aligned.
I have written a small sample named ColumnWidthExample that should result in such a PDF:
This is the Java code that produces this PDF:
public void createPdf(String dest) throws IOException, DocumentException {
Document document = new Document(PageSize.A4.rotate());
PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new FileOutputStream(dest));
document.open();
float[] columnWidths = {1, 5, 5};
PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(columnWidths);
table.setWidthPercentage(100);
table.getDefaultCell().setUseAscender(true);
table.getDefaultCell().setUseDescender(true);
Font f = new Font(FontFamily.HELVETICA, 13, Font.NORMAL, GrayColor.GRAYWHITE);
PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell(new Phrase("This is a header", f));
cell.setBackgroundColor(GrayColor.GRAYBLACK);
cell.setHorizontalAlignment(Element.ALIGN_CENTER);
cell.setColspan(3);
table.addCell(cell);
table.getDefaultCell().setBackgroundColor(new GrayColor(0.75f));
for (int i = 0; i < 2; i++) {
table.addCell("#");
table.addCell("Key");
table.addCell("Value");
}
table.setHeaderRows(3);
table.setFooterRows(1);
table.getDefaultCell().setBackgroundColor(GrayColor.GRAYWHITE);
table.getDefaultCell().setHorizontalAlignment(Element.ALIGN_CENTER);
for (int counter = 1; counter < 101; counter++) {
table.addCell(String.valueOf(counter));
table.addCell("key " + counter);
table.addCell("value " + counter);
}
document.add(table);
document.close();
}
It should be fairly simple to adapt this code to C#.
The first problem is solved by defining the column widths at the level of the table. For instance like this (there are other ways to get the same result):
float[] columnWidths = {1, 5, 5};
PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(columnWidths);
The values 1, 5, and 5 aren't absolute widths. As we define the width of the table as 100% of the available width within the margins of the page, iText will divide the available width by 11 (1 + 5 + 5) and the first column will measure 1 time this value, whereas column two and three will measure 5 times this value.
Your second problem can be solved by changing the horizontal alignment. If you work with an explicit PdfPCell object, you need to change the value at the cell level, as is done in the following line:
cell.setHorizontalAlignment(Element.ALIGN_CENTER);
If you leave it to iText to create the PdfPCell object, you need to change the alignment at the level of the default cell:
table.getDefaultCell().setHorizontalAlignment(Element.ALIGN_CENTER);
Note that the default cell properties are not applied when you add a PdfPCell object to the table. In that case, the properties of that PdfPCell are used.
Okay so I managed to center the cell's text in every column, now I just can't figure out how to make first row to have smallest width...
Here is the code
public PdfPTable GetTable(List<hsp_Narudzbe_IzdavanjeFakture4_Result> proizvodi)
{
PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(5);
table.WidthPercentage = 100F;
table.DefaultCell.UseAscender = true;
table.DefaultCell.UseDescender = true;
Font f = new Font(Font.FontFamily.HELVETICA, 13);
f.Color = BaseColor.WHITE;
PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell(new Phrase("Stavke narudžbe: ", f));
cell.BackgroundColor = BaseColor.BLACK;
cell.HorizontalAlignment = Element.ALIGN_CENTER;
cell.Colspan = 5;
table.AddCell(cell);
for (int i = 0; i < 2; i++)
{
table.AddCell(new PdfPCell(new Phrase("Redni broj"))
{
VerticalAlignment = Element.ALIGN_MIDDLE,
HorizontalAlignment = Element.ALIGN_CENTER,
BackgroundColor = BaseColor.LIGHT_GRAY
});
table.AddCell(new PdfPCell(new Phrase("Proizvod"))
{
VerticalAlignment = Element.ALIGN_MIDDLE,
HorizontalAlignment = Element.ALIGN_CENTER,
BackgroundColor = BaseColor.LIGHT_GRAY
});
table.AddCell(new PdfPCell(new Phrase("Cijena"))
{
VerticalAlignment = Element.ALIGN_MIDDLE,
HorizontalAlignment = Element.ALIGN_CENTER,
BackgroundColor = BaseColor.LIGHT_GRAY
});
table.AddCell(new PdfPCell(new Phrase("Šifra"))
{
VerticalAlignment = Element.ALIGN_MIDDLE,
HorizontalAlignment = Element.ALIGN_CENTER,
BackgroundColor = BaseColor.LIGHT_GRAY
});
table.AddCell(new PdfPCell(new Phrase("Kolicina"))
{
VerticalAlignment = Element.ALIGN_MIDDLE,
HorizontalAlignment = Element.ALIGN_CENTER,
BackgroundColor = BaseColor.LIGHT_GRAY
});
}
table.DefaultCell.BackgroundColor = BaseColor.LIGHT_GRAY;
table.HeaderRows = 3;
table.FooterRows = 1;
int broj = 0;
table.DeleteLastRow();
foreach (hsp_Narudzbe_IzdavanjeFakture4_Result p in proizvodi)
{
broj++;
table.AddCell(new PdfPCell(new Phrase(broj.ToString()))
{
VerticalAlignment = Element.ALIGN_MIDDLE,
HorizontalAlignment = Element.ALIGN_CENTER
});
table.AddCell(new PdfPCell(new Phrase(p.Naziv))
{
VerticalAlignment = Element.ALIGN_MIDDLE,
HorizontalAlignment = Element.ALIGN_CENTER
});
table.AddCell(new PdfPCell(new Phrase(p.Cijena))
{
VerticalAlignment = Element.ALIGN_MIDDLE,
HorizontalAlignment = Element.ALIGN_CENTER
});
table.AddCell(new PdfPCell(new Phrase(p.Sifra))
{
VerticalAlignment = Element.ALIGN_MIDDLE,
HorizontalAlignment = Element.ALIGN_CENTER
});
table.AddCell(new PdfPCell(new Phrase(p.Kolicina.ToString()))
{
VerticalAlignment = Element.ALIGN_MIDDLE,
HorizontalAlignment = Element.ALIGN_CENTER
});
}
return table;
}
Can someone help me figure out how to set the width of each row to a custom size?
Thanks !

I have this code and I want to add a table as a footer. But the problem is I cannot pass the variables:
Document doc = new Document();
doc.AddTitle("e-8D Report_" + report.OSIE8DNO + ".pdf");
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(doc, fs);
doc.SetPageSize(PageSize.A4);
doc.SetMargins(18f, 18f, 18f, 18f); // 0.25 inch margins
doc.Open();
PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(10)
{
WidthPercentage = 100,
LockedWidth = true,
TotalWidth = 560f
};
float[] widths = new float[] { 32f, 73f, 70f, 70f, 70f, 70f, 70f, 70f, 73f, 32f };
table.SetWidths(widths);
// rest of the document
// ...
// rest of the document
// Below is the part that I want to add as footer
#region Footer
// left margin
cell = new PdfPCell(new Phrase(" ", font6))
{
Border = Rectangle.NO_BORDER
};
table.AddCell(cell);
cell = new PdfPCell(new Phrase("Reviewed & Approved by :", font6))
{
Colspan = 4,
BackgroundColor = bgBlue,
HorizontalAlignment = Element.ALIGN_LEFT,
Border = Rectangle.TOP_BORDER | Rectangle.LEFT_BORDER
};
table.AddCell(cell);
cell = new PdfPCell(new Phrase("For document approval by email, no Manual / e-Signature required &", font2))
{
Colspan = 4,
BackgroundColor = bgBlue,
HorizontalAlignment = Element.ALIGN_LEFT,
Border = Rectangle.TOP_BORDER | Rectangle.RIGHT_BORDER
};
table.AddCell(cell);
// right margin
cell = new PdfPCell(new Phrase(" ", font6))
{
Border = Rectangle.NO_BORDER
};
table.AddCell(cell);
// the rest of the cell
//...
// the rest of the cell
#endregion
doc.Add(table);
//writer.PageEvent = new PDFFooter();
doc.Close();
With this variables, I can't make the footer with PdfPageEventHelper from this source:
Footer in pdf with iTextSharp
Please help
Already got the answer. I add parameter to the PdfPageEventHelper Class:
public PdfPTable footer { get; set; }
public override void OnEndPage(PdfWriter writer, Document document)
{
base.OnEndPage(writer, document);
document.Add(footer);
}
And call from the page (create complete table first on the page):
writer.PageEvent = new PDFHeaderFooter() { footer = table };
Need some help here. I'm trying text within a row looks in the same horizontal line as it's corresponding dotted lines
This is the result
And this is the part of my code related to the image:
Font coverHeaderFont = new Font(Font.FontFamily.HELVETICA, 18, Font.BOLD, BaseColor.BLACK);

PdfPCell cellPage = new PdfPCell();
cellPage.PaddingTop = 10f;
cellPage.VerticalAlignment = PdfPCell.ALIGN_TOP;
cellPage.BorderWidth = 1;
cellPage.MinimumHeight = 30f;
for (int i = 0; i < listOfDetailsPDF.Count; i++)
{
if (i == 0) //first column, just header
{
cellName.AddElement(new Paragraph(cAppHeader));
cellSeparator.AddElement(new Paragraph(".", invisibleFont));
cellPage.AddElement(new Paragraph("1", invisibleFont));
}
var obj = listOfDetailsPDF[i];
String title = (string)obj.GetType().GetProperty("applicantName").GetValue(obj, null);
Chunk cTitle = new Chunk(title, textIndexFont);
int pNPage = (int)obj.GetType().GetProperty("pdfPages").GetValue(obj, null);
String numberPage = pNPage.ToString();
Chunk cNumPage = new Chunk(numberPage, textIndexFont);
cellName.AddElement(new Paragraph(cTitle));
cellSeparator.AddElement(new Paragraph(dottedLine));
cellPage.AddElement(new Paragraph(cNumPage));
}
tblCon.Rows.Add(new PdfPRow(new PdfPCell[] { cellName, cellSeparator, cellPage }));
I just want: the name with the dotted line with the number page look in the same line in every row.
Thank you
I'm trying to add three cells in one row, which have colored background with the same color. The problem is that I see space (or vertical border) between these cells, but I don't need this space.
As you can see on the image, there is some space. Maybe this is the wrong way to do what I need. I need this green text in the center of page and white text on the right side at the same row and with the same background color.
This is my code:
PdfPCell emptyCell = new PdfPCell();
emptyCell.BackgroundColor = BaseColor.DARK_GRAY;
emptyCell.HorizontalAlignment = Element.ALIGN_JUSTIFIED;
emptyCell.VerticalAlignment = Element.ALIGN_CENTER;
emptyCell.MinimumHeight = 30f;
emptyCell.Colspan = 3;
emptyCell.Border = Rectangle.NO_BORDER;
_currentTable.AddCell(emptyCell);
iTextSharp.text.Font clubFont = new iTextSharp.text.Font(Font.FontFamily.HELVETICA, 12, Font.NORMAL, new BaseColor(0.541f, 0.765f, 0f));
PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell();
Paragraph clubName = new Paragraph(clubString, clubFont) {Alignment = Element.ALIGN_CENTER};
cell.AddElement(clubName);
cell.BackgroundColor = BaseColor.DARK_GRAY;
cell.HorizontalAlignment = Element.ALIGN_JUSTIFIED;
cell.VerticalAlignment = Element.ALIGN_CENTER;
cell.MinimumHeight = 30f;
cell.Colspan = _currentTable.NumberOfColumns - 6;
cell.Border = Rectangle.NO_BORDER;
_currentTable.AddCell(cell);
iTextSharp.text.Font dispFont = new iTextSharp.text.Font(Font.FontFamily.HELVETICA, 10, Font.NORMAL, BaseColor.WHITE);
PdfPCell dispCell = new PdfPCell();
Paragraph dispersion = new Paragraph(dispersionString, dispFont);
dispersion.Alignment = Element.ALIGN_CENTER;
dispCell.AddElement(dispersion);
dispCell.HorizontalAlignment = Element.ALIGN_JUSTIFIED;
dispCell.VerticalAlignment = Element.ALIGN_CENTER;
dispCell.MinimumHeight = 30f;
dispCell.Colspan = 3;
dispCell.BackgroundColor = BaseColor.DARK_GRAY;
dispCell.Border = Rectangle.NO_BORDER;
_currentTable.AddCell(dispCell);
I use to generate a PDF file from a gridview using iTextSharp.
I need a help because I am not familiar with iTextSharp.
I'm using two gridviews in my aspx page: gvProducts and gvUsers.
The generation a PDF file from a single (gvProducts) gridview using iTextSharp working correctly.
I can't print the first and second GridView in the same PDF.
This is what I want:
Open PDF document;
Print result of my first GridView;
Print result of my second GridView;
Close, Save and download PDF document in the client.
Anybody know how can I do that?
Thank you in advance.

I don't understand why the cb.Stroke() isn't working. Any suggestions?
Drawing with iTextSharp's PdfContentByte class can be a little confusing. The height is actually relative to the bottom, not the top. So the top of the page is not 0f, but instead is actually document.Top, which on your page size of PageSize.LETTER is 726f. So if you want to draw your line 30 units from the top, try:
cb.MoveTo(20, document.Top - 30f);
cb.LineTo(400, document.Top - 30f);
Just curious -- why do it the hard way instead of using table borders? (I noticed you set your borders to 0) Trying to space out lines by hand is the biggest pain. If you ever move content in your PDF around, you'll have to make sure your measurements still work.
Try this:
numeroCell.Border = 0;
numeroCell.BorderColorBottom = new BaseColor(System.Drawing.Color.Black);
numeroCell.BorderWidthBottom = 1f;
codigoCell.Border = 0;
codigoCell.BorderColorBottom = new BaseColor(System.Drawing.Color.Black);
codigoCell.BorderWidthBottom = 1f;
nombreCell.Border = 0;
nombreCell.BorderColorBottom = new BaseColor(System.Drawing.Color.Black);
nombreCell.BorderWidthBottom = 1f;
That should give you a nice solid black line under your header row, no measurements needed:
