I have to make a PDF with a Table. So far it work fine, but now I want to add a wrapping feature. So I need to insert a Linefeed.
contentStream.beginText();
contentStream.moveTextPositionByAmount(x, y);
contentStream.drawString("Some text to insert into a table.");
contentStream.endText();
I want to add a “\n” before “insert”. I tried “\u000A” which is the hex value for linefeed, but Eclipse shows me an error.
Is it possible to add linefeed with drawString?
The pdf format doesn’t know line breaks. You have to split the string and move the text position to the next line, using moveTextPositionByAmount.
This is not a special “pdfbox-feature”, it is due to the pdf format definition; so there is no way for drawString and there are also no other methods to be called that support linefeeds.
