使用pdfbox在特定单元格中以pdf格式添加图像

Question

I am using pdfbox to generate pdf. I want to make a letterhead. I am not able to place the image in pdf at front, while I am getting it at the end of the document. Why it is not coming in front?

If you navigate to this URL you will see a section with header "Table".

If you check that section you will see how you can create a custom table inside PDF. By creating your custom table, you can create cells for images with the method "Row.createImageCell()" while building the rows and cells for your custom table (there, it just shows the method "createCell" but it also has the method "createImageCell" for images). I hope this helps.

Sample code:

Image image = new Image(ImageIO.read(new File("/../logo.png")));
// imagine we have pretty big logo and we want scale that a little bit
float imageWidth = 75;
image = image.scaleByWidth(imageWidth);

Row<PDPage> row = table.createRow(12);
cell = row.createCell(30, "Data 1");
cell = row.createImageCell(imageWidth , image);
