Mulitrow columns - nested cells

["Dennis van Genabith" <dvg22 (at) gmx.de>]

Hi All,

Bruno, you were right! It works with the inner table. 

Nevertheless I had to deactivate the border for the cell which surrounds
cell 2 and 3. Otherwise I would see both rectangles within the surrounding
table.

> cell 2 and 3 are part of the inner table.
>Why do you deactivate their borders? There's no reason to.

I took
http://itext.ugent.be/library/com/lowagie/examples/objects/tables/NestedTabl
es.pdf as an example. -> That?s exactly what I won't!

Regarding the logo problem: Fixed it with a page event!

Thank you,
Dennis

Piece of cake with a nested PdfPTable.

It works for me.

cell 2 and 3 are part of the inner table.
Why do you deactivate their borders? There's no reason to.

You probably forgot to set the padding of the cell
with the nested table to 0. Have you tried the
example that comes with the book? On page 177,
cells 1.1 and 1.2 show what you have, whereas
cells 20.1 and 20.2 show what you want.

How are you adding the logo. In a page event?

I'm not sure what you're doing here.
Do you want the logo to appear on each page?
Then you should add the logo in a page event,
and make sure the top margin is large enough
so that the content added with document.add()
doesn't overwrite the header.
