  • Apache PDFBox: How can I specify the position of the texts I'm outputting

    1 answer




I'm trying to create a pdf document in java using the PDFBox libraries and for now, I am positioning the text using newLineAtOffset(x, y); but I would prefer to position using an absolute position, rather than the relative.



Is there any way to use an absolute position or a have to stay with the relative one?



Thank you in advance for any help you can give me

You are starting at (0,0) after calling contents.beginText();. Thus if you want to work with absolute positions only, then put only one (absolute) positioning in a contents.beginText();contents.endText(); segment.
