Right alignment text in PDFBOX format?

Question

I need to draw the text in the correct alignment using PDFBOX (java).

I am currently using ContentStream.drawString to draw text in pdf. I do not use a monospace font, so the width of the characters changes.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

A simple solution!

text_width = (myFont.getStringWidth(myString) / 1000.0f) * fontSize; contentStream.moveTextPositionByAmount(-text_width, 0); contentStream.drawString(myString); contentStream.moveTextPositionByAmount(text_width, 0); 

Where myFont = the font you are using, fontSize is the font size, and myString is the line of text you want to draw.
