using both setText and setHeight leads to empty cells
When using both setText and setHeight on a cell the cell is printed as empty in the resulting PDF. The order of those calls is not relevant to the result.
Minified testcase:
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
String inFile = "input.pdf";
File inFileF = new File(inFile);
String outFile = "output.pdf";
PDDocument document = PDDocument.load(inFileF);
BaseTable table = new BaseTable(100f, 100f, 0f, 0f, 100f, 100f, document, document.getPage(0), true, true);
Row<PDPage> row = table.createRow(20f);
Cell cell = row.createCell(100f, "Text");
cell.setText("New Text");
cell.setHeight(50f);
table.draw();
document.save(outFile);
document.close();
}
Scenario where I want to do that (maybe you have a solution for me that doesn't run into this issue): I want to set a maximum height on a table cell (row actually). For that the plan was to loop over the text until the cells height is smaller than the specified max height:
while (cell.getHeight() > maxHeight) {
cell.setText(text.substring(0, text.length()-1));
}
Found a workaround!
add after .setHeight: cell.setValign(
