PdfLightTable Cell text alignment

I'm trying to put a header on my PDF pages that has the title on the left and the current date on the right. I can't seem to figure it out. I tried using the PdfTextElement but I can't seem to draw that to the PdfPageTemplateElement and give it a PdfStringFormat with a RightAlignment.

So I next tried to do a PdfLightTable by building up a DataTable for those two items. But I can't figure out how to do an alignment within a table cell.

Also, with your older versions I think I remember being able to build up a table programmatically which gave me much more control over each cell because I could give each one a CellStyle. Is there a way to do tables this way in version 6.1?

Hi Jeff,

Sorry for the delay in responding.

1.How to do an alignment within a table cell?

You can use the following code snippet for alignment within a table cell:


[C#]
PdfStringFormat sf2 = new PdfStringFormat(PdfTextAlignment.Right);
PdfStringFormat sf1 = new PdfStringFormat(PdfTextAlignment.Left);


2.I could give each one a CellStyle. Is there a way to do tables this way in version 6.1?

Yes.It is possible in our new PDF. You can Use below code snippet for setting cellstyle:

[c#]
PdfCellStyle altStyle = new PdfCellStyle();
altStyle.Font =font;
altStyle.BackgroundBrush = brush;
altStyle.BorderPen = borderPen;
altStyle.StringFormat = sf2;


Please refer the sample in the below link which illustrates the above:

Here is the documentation link for table features and formatting the table in new PDF:
