Align Two Chunks to Left and Right on Same Line in iTextsharp

Introduction

During work I faced one requirement where I had to bind multiple chunks into a single phrase and show these chunks at both the ends; i.e., left and right end, of the same line. So here I will explain how I completed that point.

Here I take one Phrase, ph1, and I have two strings, Project name, which contain the name of the Project and Date. I want to display the Project name at the left side and Date at the right side in a single line.

Document doc = new document()
Paragraph para = new Paragraph();
doc.open()
Chunk glue = new Chunk(new VerticalPositionMark());
Phrase ph1 = new Phrase();
ph1.Add(new Chunk(Environment.NewLine));
string projectname = "Project Name: " + dr["ProjectName"].ToString();
string date = dr["StartDate"].ToString() + "-" + dr["EndDate"].ToString();
Paragraph main = new Paragraph();
ph1.Add(new Chunk(projectname)); // Here I add projectname as a chunk into Phrase.
ph1.Add(glue); // Here I add special chunk to the same phrase.
ph1.Add(new Chunk('('+date +')')); // Here I add date as a chunk into same phrase.
main.Add(ph1);
para.Add(main);
doc.Add(para);
doc.close();

Output



Summary

In this blog we saw how we can add multiple chunks into a single phrase, and how we can add two chunks at different locations using a single phrase.
