Question

I’m using iTextSharp to generate pdfs in my .net application.
I’m stuck at a small yet very simple place that I can’t seem to figure out.


I’m generating table using PdfPTable and adding cells to them.

In one of these cells I want add say about 3 tabs in it.

I have tried following 2 code but not giving me desired output.

table.AddCell(new Phrase("\t\tDate:", sampleFont)); //Date:

table.AddCell(Chunk.TAB + Chunk.TAB + new Phrase("Date:", sampleFont)); //TABTABDate:

Answer 1

Unluckily, iTextSharp does not support Tab, but you can use Paragraph Paragraph.IndentationLeft instead.

You also can use cell.PaddingLeft for table cell.
