Multiple Phrases in one PdfPCell

Question

I want to add multiple Phrase in one PdfPCell. My concern is, I want to display like "Created Date :" in gray font and than "Date" in black font in one cell.

So, is there anyway to do this ? Please help.

Code is like,

PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell(new Phrase("Created Date : ",grayFont));

Now, I want to add Date after that without adding new Cell. Is that possible?

Answer 1

Create a cell, and add as many Phrase as needed :

PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell();
cell.addElement(new Phrase("Created Date : ", grayFont));
cell.addElement(new Phrase(theDate, blackFont));

You could also consider adding Chunk instead of Phrase .

Answer 2

wrap multiple Phrase s with different fonts in a Paragraph . Mind you : the Paragraph will cause siblings (not the content, of course) to wrap as long as you dont wrap them as well

Answer 3

Use

Phrase datePhrase = new Phrase(new Chunk("Created Date", FontFactory.getFont(FontFactory.HELVETICA, 16, Font.BOLD, BaseColor.GRAY)));
datePhrase.add(new Phrase(new Chunk("Your Date", FontFactory.getFont(FontFactory.HELVETICA, 16, Font.BOLD, BaseColor.BLACK))));
PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell(datePhrase);
