How can i hide the table border using iTextSharp. I am using following code to generate a file:
var document = new Document(PageSize.A4, 50, 50, 25, 25);
// Create a new PdfWriter object, specifying the output stream
var output = new MemoryStream();
var writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(document, output);
document.Open();
PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(3);
var bodyFont = FontFactory.GetFont("Arial", 10, Font.NORMAL);
PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell(new Phrase("Header spanning 3 columns"));
cell.Colspan = 3;
cell.HorizontalAlignment = 1; //0=Left, 1=Centre, 2=Right
table.AddCell(cell);
Font arial = FontFactory.GetFont("Arial", 6, BaseColor.BLUE);
cell = new PdfPCell(new Phrase("Font test is here ", arial));
cell.PaddingLeft = 5f;
cell.Colspan = 1;
table.AddCell(cell);
cell = new PdfPCell(new Phrase("XYX"));
cell.Colspan = 2;
table.AddCell(cell);
cell = new PdfPCell(new Phrase("Hello World"));
cell.PaddingLeft = 5f;
cell.Colspan = 1;
table.AddCell(cell);
cell = new PdfPCell(new Phrase("XYX"));
cell.Colspan = 2;
table.AddCell(cell);
table.SpacingBefore = 5f;
document.Add(table);
document.Close();
Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=Receipt-test.pdf");
Response.BinaryWrite(output.ToArray());
Do I need to specify no borders for individual cells or I can specify no borders for table itself.
Thank you
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 of the default cell are only used if iText needs to create a PdfPCell instance implicitly (for instance: if you use the addCell() method passing a Phrase as parameter).
In the code snippet provided by #Brown_Dynamite, the PdfPCell objects are created explicitly. This means that you need to set the border of each of these cells to NO_BORDER.
Usually, I write a factory class to create cells. That way, I can significantly reduce the amount of code in the class that creates the table.
This should do the trick:
table.DefaultCell.Border = Rectangle.NO_BORDER;
or
table.borderwidth= 0;
First we can set all cell borders as 0 and After assigning all cell to table we can use the following code for for only pdfptable outer border.
PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell();
cell.AddElement(t);
cell.BorderWidthBottom=1f;
cell.BorderWidthLeft=1f;
cell.BorderWidthTop=1f;
cell.BorderWidthRight = 1f;
PdfPTable t1 = new PdfPTable(1);
t1.AddCell(cell);
Here we can add table to one cell and can set border and again add that cell to another table and we can use as per our requirement.
If your PdfPTable is nested within another PdfPTable, the nested table will show table borders. The only way to get rid of the table borders is to put the nested PdfPTable into a PdfPCell of the main PdfPTable and set the border width of that cell to 0.
iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfPTable table = new iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfPTable(1); //<-- Main table
table.TotalWidth = 540f;
table.LockedWidth = true;
float[] widths = new float[] { 540f };
table.SetWidths(widths);
table.HorizontalAlignment = 1; //0=Left, 1=Centre, 2=Right
table.SpacingAfter = 10;
PdfPTable bodyTable = new PdfPTable(1); //<--Nested Table
bodyTable.TotalWidth = 540f;
bodyTable.LockedWidth = true;
float[] bodyWidths = new float[] { 540f };
bodyTable.SetWidths(bodyWidths);
bodyTable.HorizontalAlignment = 0;
bodyTable.SpacingAfter = 10;
bodyTable.DefaultCell.Border = iTextSharp.text.Rectangle.NO_BORDER;
var para1 = new Paragraph("This is a long paragraph", blackNormal);
para1.SetLeading(3f, 1f);
PdfPCell bodyCell1 = new PdfPCell();
bodyCell1.AddElement(para1);
bodyCell1.Border = 0;
bodyTable.AddCell(bodyCell1);
iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfPCell cellBody = new iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfPCell(bodyTable);
cellBody.BorderWidth = 0; //<--- This is what sets the border for the nested table
table.AddCell(cellBody);
Took me a long time to figure this out. It works for me now.
PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(4);
table.TotalWidth = 400f;
table.LockedWidth = true;
PdfPCell header = new PdfPCell(new Phrase("Header"));
header.Colspan = 4;
table.AddCell(header);
table.AddCell("Cell 1");
table.AddCell("Cell 2");
table.AddCell("Cell 3");
table.AddCell("Cell 4");
PdfPTable nested = new PdfPTable(1);
nested.AddCell("Nested Row 1");
nested.AddCell("Nested Row 2");
nested.AddCell("Nested Row 3");
PdfPCell nesthousing = new PdfPCell(nested);
nesthousing.Padding = 0f;
table.AddCell(nesthousing);
PdfPCell bottom = new PdfPCell(new Phrase("bottom"));
bottom.Colspan = 3;
table.AddCell(bottom);
doc.Add(table);
PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(3);
table.TotalWidth = 144f;
table.LockedWidth = true;
table.HorizontalAlignment = 0;
PdfPCell left = new PdfPCell(new Paragraph("Rotated"));
left.Rotation = 90;
table.AddCell(left);
PdfPCell middle = new PdfPCell(new Paragraph("Rotated"));
middle.Rotation = -90;
table.AddCell(middle);
table.AddCell("Not Rotated");
doc.Add(table);

Here is visual what my problem looks like.
Here is my code that produce that result.
public void intervencionHeaderLogo(string pictureURL,int width, int height)
{
iTextSharp.text.Image image = iTextSharp.text.Image.GetInstance(System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(pictureURL));
image.ScaleAbsolute(width, height);
image.Alignment = 2;
//Table
PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(1);
PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell();
BaseFont bf = BaseFont.CreateFont(BaseFont.TIMES_ROMAN, BaseFont.CP1252, BaseFont.NOT_EMBEDDED);
iTextSharp.text.Font font = new iTextSharp.text.Font(bf, 20, iTextSharp.text.Font.NORMAL);
Paragraph p = new Paragraph("Reporte de intervención", font);
//Cell no 1
cell = new PdfPCell();
cell.Border = 0;
cell.AddElement(p);
cell.HorizontalAlignment = Element.ALIGN_CENTER;
table.AddCell(cell);
//Cell no 2
cell = new PdfPCell();
cell.Border = 0;
cell.AddElement(image);
table.AddCell(cell);
//Add table to document
pdfDoc.Add(table);
}
Here is what I want to have.
Any help would be appriciated
I was able to fix it i made a mistake i create a table of 1 when i should have made it of size 2.
//Table
PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(2);
and the i added a line break like this in the paragraph like this
Paragraph p = new Paragraph("\nReporte de intervención", font);
I have table with 3 columns and one row. In cell 1 I have a phrase and in cell 2, next to the phrase I have an Image and a text.
I am able to combine the image and the text in a same cell but. The problem I have now is that the text in cell 1 is in a higher position than the text in cell 2 and I don't know why. And I need them to be even.
this is the result:
this is my code:
private void btnCrear_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Document doc = new Document(PageSize.LETTER);
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(doc,
new FileStream((Application.StartupPath+"\\PSC.pdf"), FileMode.Create));
doc.AddTitle("Recibo de Pago de Derechos Laborales");
doc.AddCreator("Errol");
doc.Open();
/*Get Image and set size*/
iTextSharp.text.Image SC = iTextSharp.text.Image.GetInstance(Application.StartupPath+"\\SimboloColones.png");
SC.ScaleAbsolute(5, 8);
PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(3);/*3 columns*/
table.TotalWidth = 588;
table.LockedWidth = true;
/*Cell 1*/
PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell(new Phrase("Preaviso"));
cell.Colspan = 1;
cell.HorizontalAlignment = 2;
cell.BorderColor = BaseColor.BLACK;
cell.BorderWidthBottom = 0;
cell.BorderWidthTop = 0;
cell.BorderWidthRight = 0;
cell.BorderWidthLeft = 0;
table.AddCell(cell);
/*Cell 2*/
cell = new PdfPCell();
cell.Colspan = 1;
cell.HorizontalAlignment = 0;
cell.BorderColor = BaseColor.BLACK;
/*Insert Image and text into the cell*/
Phrase pPreaviso = new Phrase();
pPreaviso.Add(new Chunk(SC, 0, 0));
pPreaviso.Add(new Chunk("Cant Pre"));
cell.AddElement(pPreaviso);
table.AddCell(cell);
/*Cell 3*/
cell = new PdfPCell(new Phrase(" "));
cell.Colspan = 1;
cell.HorizontalAlignment = 1;
cell.BorderColor = BaseColor.BLACK;
cell.BorderWidthBottom = 0;
cell.BorderWidthTop = 0;
cell.BorderWidthRight = 0;
cell.BorderWidthLeft = 0;
table.AddCell(cell);
doc.Add(table);
doc.Close();
writer.Close();
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(Application.StartupPath+"\\PSC.pdf");
}
I don't know what is wrong with the code.
Thanks in advance
Thanks to #BrunoLowagie I was able to come up with a solution. However, I also nedded the text alignment to be centered, therefore I ended up using Paragraph instead of Phrase for all the texts in the cells.
This is the final result:
And, this is the code that ended up working for me:
private void btnCrear_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Document doc = new Document(PageSize.LETTER);
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(doc,
new FileStream((Application.StartupPath+"\\PSC.pdf"), FileMode.Create));
doc.AddTitle("Recibo de Pago de Derechos Laborales");
doc.AddCreator("Errol");
doc.Open();
/*Get Image and set size*/
iTextSharp.text.Image SC = iTextSharp.text.Image.GetInstance(Application.StartupPath+"\\SimboloColones.png");
SC.ScaleAbsolute(5, 8);
PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(3);/*3 columns*/
table.TotalWidth = 588;
table.LockedWidth = true;
/*Cell 1*/
Paragraph Preaviso = new Paragraph();
Preaviso.Add(new Chunk("Preaviso"));
Preaviso.Alignment = 2;
PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell();
cell.Colspan = 1;
cell.HorizontalAlignment = 2;
cell.BorderColor = BaseColor.BLACK;
cell.BorderWidthBottom = 0;
cell.BorderWidthTop = 0;
cell.BorderWidthRight = 0;
cell.BorderWidthLeft = 0;
cell.AddElement(Preaviso);
table.AddCell(cell);
/*Cell 2*/
Paragraph pPreaviso = new Paragraph();
SC.ScaleAbsolute(5, 8);
pPreaviso.Add(new Chunk(SC, 0, 0));
pPreaviso.Add(new Chunk("Cant Pre"));
pPreaviso.Alignment = 0;
cell = new PdfPCell();
cell.Colspan = 1;
cell.HorizontalAlignment = 0;
cell.BorderColor = BaseColor.BLACK;
cell.AddElement(pPreaviso);
table.AddCell(cell);
/*Cell 3*/
cell = new PdfPCell(new Phrase(" "));
cell.Colspan = 1;
cell.HorizontalAlignment = 1;
cell.BorderColor = BaseColor.BLACK;
cell.BorderWidthBottom = 0;
cell.BorderWidthTop = 0;
cell.BorderWidthRight = 0;
cell.BorderWidthLeft = 0;
table.AddCell(cell);
doc.Add(table);
doc.Close();
writer.Close();
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(Application.StartupPath+"\\PSC.pdf");
}
I used a following code to create a table in my itextsharp PDF document:
foreach (var subComp in competency.SubCompetensies)
{
cell = new PdfPCell(new Phrase(0, subComp.DescriptionMin, _nfDescr));
cell.Padding = 5;
cell.Rowspan = 2;
table.AddCell(cell);
cell = new PdfPCell(new Phrase(0, subComp.Name, _nfSubComp));
cell.Colspan = 10;
cell.Padding = 5;
table.AddCell(cell);
cell = new PdfPCell(new Phrase(subComp.DescriptionMax, _nfDescr));
cell.Padding = 5;
cell.Rowspan = 2;
table.AddCell(cell);
for (int i = 1; i < 11; i++)
{
cell = new PdfPCell(new Phrase(0, i.ToString(), _nfScale));
cell.FixedHeight = 15f;
cell.Padding = 3;
cell.PaddingLeft = 5;
table.AddCell(cell);
}
}
And here is the result:
As you can see height of cells with numbers is different in every row. It seems that cell.FixedHeight property is ignored.
Is there any way to set fixed height of these cells?
Well, I found a solution. As for me, it seems little pervert, but my deadline doesn't care about how exquisite my code is.
May be somene will find it useful.
Why FixedHeight is ignored?
Because the cells with the numbers drawn last they consume all the free space in a row.
Possible solutions
I can see only two ways:
Obviously, change the order of cells in a row
Render central part of the row by myself
I desided to choose the second way.
Instead of creating therteen cells with rowspans/colspans and adding them to one row, I add only three cells:
cell = new PdfPCell(new Phrase(0, subComp.DescriptionMin, _nfDescr));
cell.MinimumHeight = 50;
cell.Padding = 5;
cell.BorderColor = BaseColor.WHITE;
cell.BackgroundColor = new BaseColor(233, 240, 242);
table.AddCell(cell);
cell = new PdfPCell();
cell.CellEvent = new CellEvents(subComp);
cell.BorderColor = BaseColor.WHITE;
table.AddCell(cell);
cell = new PdfPCell(new Phrase(subComp.DescriptionMax, _nfDescr));
cell.Padding = 5;
cell.BorderColor = BaseColor.WHITE;
cell.BackgroundColor = new BaseColor(233, 240, 242);
table.AddCell(cell);
I add custom cell event to the second sell. It is fired after the cell height is set and before layout rendering. Here is the code of event handler:
private class CellEvents : IPdfPCellEvent
{
public void CellLayout(PdfPCell cell, Rectangle position, PdfContentByte[] canvases)
{
int scoreCellHeight = 20;
var pdfContentByte = canvases[0];
pdfContentByte.SaveState();
pdfContentByte.Rectangle(pos.Left, pos.Bottom + scoreCellHeight, pos.Width, pos.Height - scoreCellHeight);
pdfContentByte.SetColorFill(new BaseColor(233, 240, 242));
pdfContentByte.Fill();
ColumnText ct = new ColumnText(pdfContentByte);
ct.SetSimpleColumn(new Phrase(_model.Name, _nfSubComp), pos.Left, pos.Bottom + 20, pos.Left + pos.Width, pos.Bottom + pos.Height - 5, 10, Element.ALIGN_CENTER);
ct.Go();
float scaleWidth = pos.Width / 10;
for (int i = 1; i < 11; i++)
{
float scaleLeft = pos.Left + (i - 1) * pos.Width / 10;
pdfContentByte.Rectangle(scaleLeft, pos.Bottom, scaleWidth, scoreCellHeight);
pdfContentByte.SetColorFill(i % 2 == 1
? new BaseColor(Color.LightBlue)
: new BaseColor(233, 240, 242));
pdfContentByte.Fill();
ct.SetSimpleColumn(new Phrase(i.ToString(), _nfScale), scaleLeft, pos.Bottom,
scaleLeft + scaleWidth, pos.Bottom + 7, 0, Element.ALIGN_CENTER);
ct.Go();
}
canvases[0].RestoreState();
}
}
I've skipped some details like class constructor and the code, that draws marker (red figures on the screenshot).
Result:
I guess, this workaround is not optimal. But I had to draw a red marker, so I had to handle cell render event, anyway.
Hope, someone can show correct solution.
I am creating a PdfTable from iTextSharp but the pdf containing this table does not allow editing in its cells.
How can I make sure that the cell contents are editable in resulting pdf?
iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfPTable table = new iTextSharp.text.pdf.PdfPTable(columnsToAdd);
table.HorizontalAlignment = 0; //0=Left, 1=Centre, 2=Right
Font headerFont = new Font(Font.HELVETICA, 8f, Font.BOLD, Color.BLACK);
Font bodyFont = new Font(Font.HELVETICA, 6f, Font.NORMAL, Color.BLACK);
PdfPCell cEmpId = new PdfPCell(new Phrase("Emp ID", headerFont));
PdfPCell cEmpAge = new PdfPCell(new Phrase("Emp Age", headerFont));
table.AddCell(cEmpId);
table.AddCell(cEmpAge);
foreach(Child child in childData)
{
PdfPCell cellEmpID = new PdfPCell {FixedHeight = 10f};
cellEmpID.Phrase = (new Phrase(child.Emp_ID.ToString(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture),
bodyFont));
PdfPCell cellEmpAge = new PdfPCell {Phrase = (new Phrase(child.Emp_Age, bodyFont))};
table.AddCell(cellEmpID);
table.AddCell(cellEmpAge);
}
EDIT 1:
Based on Chris's answer, I am going to try out the following code, but not sure at this time.
//WITHIN THE LOOP IN MY CODE ABOVE ADD THESE LINES FOR EVERY PDF CELL
//Create our textfield, the rectangle that we're passing in is ignored and doesn't matter
var tfEmpID = new TextField(writer, new iTextSharp.text.Rectangle(0, 0), child.Emp_ID);
//Set the cell event to our custom IPdfPCellEvent implementation
cellEmpID.CellEvent = new ChildFieldEvent(root, tfEmpID.GetTextField(), 1);
//THEN OUTSIDE THE LOOP
//IMPORTANT! Add the root annotation to the writer which also adds all of the child annotations
writer.AddAnnotation(root);
I'm using iTextSharp to create PDFs in my application. However I have to recreate a table, where I have to set the size for a very small column. Below is the picture that shows the size I want to set the column:
When the rest of the table creation all is well, I can't set this width.
Code:
PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(2);
table.WidthPercentage = 82.0f;
PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell(new Phrase("Com a assinatura autógrafa, o signatário desta Auto-declaração garante ter cumprido estas condições:", fontetexto));
cell.PaddingBottom = 10f;
cell.PaddingTop = 10f;
cell.Colspan = 2;
cell.HorizontalAlignment = 1; //0=Left, 1=Centre, 2=Right
table.AddCell(cell);
table.AddCell("1. ");
table.AddCell("Os óleos e gorduras vegetais velhos fornecidos são biomassa conforme o Decreto de biomassa.");
try with this code
PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(new float[] { 30f, 400f });
table.HorizontalAlignment = 0;
table.TotalWidth = 500f;
table.LockedWidth = true;
table.SetWidths(widths);
You can do this with much less efforts if you use XmlParser rather then the normal HtmlParser
var document = new Document();
var workStream = new MemoryStream(); // or you can use fileStream also.
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(document, workStream);
XMLWorkerHelper.GetInstance().ParseXHtml(writer, document, stream, Encoding.UTF8);
Check this nuget MvcRazorToPdf ,I found this better then RazorPDF
The following code worked for me:
PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(2);
table.TotalWidth = 500;
table.SetTotalWidth(new float[] { 30f, 400f });
PdfPCell c1 = new PdfPCell();
PdfPCell c2 = new PdfPCell();
c1.AddElement(new Phrase("first column"));
c1.AddElement(new Phrase("second column"));
table.Rows.Add(new PdfPRow(new PdfPCell[] { c1, c2 }));
The answer from #IntellectWizard help me to reach a solution.
float[] widths = new float[] { 100f, 4000f }; // Code #IntellectWizard
gives a corrupted file, then i try:
PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(new float[] { 30f, 400f });
This works!
