You need to look at the HTML text functions. There are functions for setting the bold, italic font etc for use with HTML text. Then you use the appropriate html tags when setting the table cell contents. This will let you draw the cells with what ever font and style you wish. Under the HTML functions you will also find the functions required to work out the height your table will be.

Working out the size of a table is trivial but can be tedious if you then want to do any type of autosizing yourself. I do this myself, so it is possible, just takes a bit of work and reading of the reference guide!

hi, Greetings every one..

once again I m working on a project where I need to manipulate.. table
so, I got few question.
1. I notice to print/draw the table I need to specify the height.. but how Ican know the exact height of all the rows? because my table generate differentdata each time. so, each there any way to know the height of table so, it willdraw the full content of the table?

2. how to set table text font/size/bold/italic etc? because Inotice setTextSize don’t work on table content/text..

for now it’s all .. will come with more question as needed :)

best regards

From your first question it sounded like you were talking about table structure, rather than table content.

With the table functions you can actually use a subset of HTML tags for the formatting of the content. The HTML tags which are available for use are shown here:

http://www.quickpdflibrary.com/help/quickpdf/AppendixA.php

This enables you to add superscript or subscript text and set the alignment of text. Symbols can be added to the content of the table so long as the relevant fonts have also been added to the PDF which the symbols will use.

It is not possible to auto size row height to fit the text. You must calculate the height of the text and set the row height in advance.

I hope this helps.

thanks for your reply sir,

but i am sorry to say, this is totally .................. not i asked for.. L

i told, i know how to create simple PDF table, but i ask for complex pdf table..

i used pdf in-the-box library, that library almost support all feature i want in a table, just only it can't handle complex symbol, just simple symbol...

but in your example there is no trace of symbol, auto resize cell height, justify (alignment)

so? Does that mean those are not possible in QPDF or you didn't check my mentioned PDF yet?

please sir, leave a reply and let me know ASAP

best regards

Quick PDF Library can certainly create a table like the one in that PDF. Here's some sample code written in JScript, from the Quick PDF Library Demo, which should be fairly easy to convert to your programming language.

You will need to make some changes to it so that it exactly does what you want it to, but the basic building blocks are here and should be easy to configure.

/* Create a table and draw it on a PDF */

// Set the page size of the new document

QP.SetPageSize("Letter");

// Create the table and specify the number of rows and columns

tableID = QP.CreateTable(5, 5);

// Specify color and width of borders

QP.SetTableBorderColor(tableID, 0, 0.3, 0.204, 0);

QP.SetTableBorderWidth(tableID, 0, 0.2);

// Specify table row height and table column width

QP.SetTableRowHeight(tableID, 1, 5, 0);

QP.SetTableColumnWidth(tableID, 1, 5, 100);

// Specify a background color for the column headers

QP.SetTableCellBackgroundColor(tableID, 1, 1, 1, 5, 0.3, 0.7, 1.0);

QP.SetTableCellAlignment(tableID, 1, 1, 1, 5, 4);

// Setup the column headers and content for the first row

QP.SetTableCellContent(tableID, 1, 1, "This Week");

QP.SetTableCellContent(tableID, 1, 2, "Last Week");

QP.SetTableCellContent(tableID, 1, 3, "Artist Name");

QP.SetTableCellContent(tableID, 1, 4, "Peak");

QP.SetTableCellContent(tableID, 1, 5, "Weeks On");

// Insert the content for the second row

QP.SetTableCellContent(tableID, 2, 1, "1");

QP.SetTableCellContent(tableID, 2, 2, "1");

QP.SetTableCellContent(tableID, 2, 3, "The Black Eyed Peas
Boom Boom Pow");

QP.SetTableCellContent(tableID, 2, 4, "1");

QP.SetTableCellContent(tableID, 2, 5, "11");

// Insert the content for the third row

QP.SetTableCellContent(tableID, 3, 1, "2");

QP.SetTableCellContent(tableID, 3, 2, "3");

QP.SetTableCellContent(tableID, 3, 3, "Missy Higgins
Life is a rainbow");

QP.SetTableCellContent(tableID, 3, 4, "2");

QP.SetTableCellContent(tableID, 3, 5, "8");

// Insert the content for the fourth row

QP.SetTableCellContent(tableID, 4, 1, "3");

QP.SetTableCellContent(tableID, 4, 2, "2");

QP.SetTableCellContent(tableID, 4, 3, "Silverchair
The Door");

QP.SetTableCellContent(tableID, 4, 4, "3");

QP.SetTableCellContent(tableID, 4, 5, "7");

// Insert the content for the fourth row

QP.SetTableCellContent(tableID, 5, 1, "4");

QP.SetTableCellContent(tableID, 5, 2, "4");

QP.SetTableCellContent(tableID, 5, 3, "Rolling Stones
Sweet Virginia");

QP.SetTableCellContent(tableID, 5, 4, "4");

QP.SetTableCellContent(tableID, 5, 5, "19");

// Draw the table onto the document

QP.SetOrigin(1);

QP.DrawTableRows(tableID, 50, 50, 400, 1, 0);

// Save the document to disk

QP.SaveToFile("table.pdf");
