Usage examples

Create a pdf from a csv file

String data = readData("https://s3.amazonaws.com/misc.quodlibet.be/Boxable/Eurostat_Immigration_Applications.csv");
BaseTable pdfTable = new BaseTable(yStart, yStartNewPage, bottomMargin, tableWidth, margin, doc, page, true,true);
DataTable t = new DataTable(pdfTable, page);
t.addCsvToTable(data, DataTable.HASHEADER, ';');
pdfTable.draw();

Output : CSVExamplePortrait.pdf

Create a pdf from a List

List<List> data = new ArrayList();
data.add(new ArrayList<>(
               Arrays.asList("Column One", "Column Two", "Column Three", "Column Four", "Column Five")));
for (int i = 1; i <= 100; i++) {
  data.add(new ArrayList<>(
      Arrays.asList("Row " + i + " Col One", "Row " + i + " Col Two", "Row " + i + " Col Three", "Row " + i + " Col Four", "Row " + i + " Col Five")));
}
BaseTable dataTable = new BaseTable(yStart, yStartNewPage, bottomMargin, tableWidth, margin, doc, page, true, true);
DataTable t = new DataTable(dataTable, page);
t.addListToTable(data, DataTable.HASHEADER);
dataTable.draw();

Output : ListExampleLandscape.pdf

Build tables in pdf documents

BaseTable table = new BaseTable(yStart, yStartNewPage, bottomMargin, tableWidth, margin, doc, page, true,
				drawContent);
//Create Header row
Row<PDPage> headerRow = table.createRow(15f);
Cell<PDPage> cell = headerRow.createCell(100, "Awesome Facts About Belgium");
cell.setFont(PDType1Font.HELVETICA_BOLD);
cell.setFillColor(Color.BLACK);
table.addHeaderRow(headerRow);
List<String[]> facts = getFacts();
for (String[] fact : facts) {
			Row<PDPage> row = table.createRow(10f);
			cell = row.createCell((100 / 3.0f) * 2, fact[0] );
			for (int i = 1; i < fact.length; i++) {
			   cell = row.createCell((100 / 9f), fact[i]);
			}
}
table.draw();
