Dependency error in jasper-reports from itext

by

A much simpler solution may be to upgrade to a newer version of jasperreports. Version 6.1.0 has this dependency on iText: <dependency> <groupId>com.lowagie</groupId> <artifactId>itext</artifactId> <version>2.1.7.js2</version> <scope>compile</scope> </dependency> No more “floating” dependency on iText, and it’s a version that’s custom made for jasperreports! See http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/net.sf.jasperreports/jasperreports/6.1.0 for the complete pom.xml.

iText landscape orientation and positioning?

by

You’re using PageSize.A4_LANDSCAPE, a variable that was introduced by a contributor and that should have never been added to the main release. Please use PageSize.A4.rotate() instead. It’s not clear what you want to achieve with the lines: document.left(100f); document.top(150f); Those are getters, not setters. It looks as if you’re assuming that PDF is similar to … Read more

Hiding table border in iTextSharp

by

Although I upvoted the answer by Martijn, I want to add a clarification. Only cells have borders in iText; tables don’t have a border. Martijn’s suggestion to set the border of the default cell to NO_BORDER is correct: table.DefaultCell.Border = Rectangle.NO_BORDER; But it won’t work for the code snippet provided in the question. The properties … Read more
