Remove Margin Left and Right of a table iText java
By default the table drawn by a PdfPTable
object only fills 80% of the width of the page content area width. You can change this ratio using the PdfPTable
method
/**
* Sets the width percentage that the table will occupy in the page.
*
* @param widthPercentage the width percentage that the table will occupy in
* the page
*/
public void setWidthPercentage(final float widthPercentage)
to avoid those extra margins.
Furthermore, a PdfPTable
instance added to a Document
respects the document margin values. To use (nearly) the whole page as page content area for a table to fill, you have to reduce the document margins to (nearly) 0 using the constructor with 5 arguments
/**
* Constructs a new <CODE>Document</CODE>-object.
*
* @param pageSize the pageSize
* @param marginLeft the margin on the left
* @param marginRight the margin on the right
* @param marginTop the margin on the top
* @param marginBottom the margin on the bottom
*/
public Document(Rectangle pageSize, float marginLeft, float marginRight, float marginTop, float marginBottom)
or the setter
/**
* Sets the margins.
*
* @param marginLeft the margin on the left
* @param marginRight the margin on the right
* @param marginTop the margin on the top
* @param marginBottom the margin on the bottom
* @return a <CODE>boolean</CODE>
*/
public boolean setMargins(float marginLeft, float marginRight, float marginTop, float marginBottom)

I have a problem with the fixed margin on left and right of a table.
I want remove that margin and use all the sheet without margin or padding. How i can do ?
I've just tryed this but doesn't work for me:
cell.setPaddingLeft(0); cell.setBorderWidthLeft(0); cell.setLeft(0);
This works for me, but the borders of the cell , don't follow the text (Look at the table in bottom)
cell.setPaddingLeft(-50);
This is a part of my code :
Font fontStandard = FontFactory.getFont("Arial", 8); int w[] = { 50, 50 }; PdfPTable tableInner = new PdfPTable(5); tableInner.setWidths(w); cell = new PdfPCell(new Phrase("PADDING -50", fontStandard)); cell.setHorizontalAlignment(PdfPCell.ALIGN_LEFT); /******/ //cell.setPaddingLeft(0); //cell.setBorderWidthLeft(0); //cell.setLeft(0); cell.setPaddingLeft(-50); /******/ tableInner.addCell(cell); document.add(tableInner);
