Text alignment and wrapping

["Vassallo, Fabio" <Fa...@wuerth-phoenix.com>]

Good morning.

As PDFBox doesn't support tables (and I need to write tables in documents) I've created the class infrastructure to do it (cells, rows, etc.).
I've also managed the text alignment and wrapping inside each cell.

Now I had a doubt: does PDFBox already manage the alignment and wrapping inside a rectangular region.
In other words, did I reinvented the wheel or not?

Thank you,
Fabio

no PDFBox doesn't provide that yet. There is code to handle text wrapping and alingment for interactive form fields but that's not part of the public API.

There are some other libs sitting on top of PDFBox such as boxable that do provide that.
