How can I display different bar codes in multiple columns in a PDF page using iText?
I have to display 12 bar codes in the same PDF page in three columns each one containing 4 bar codes (in other words it's 4 by 3 matrix).

I've made a Barcodes example that does exactly what you need. See the resulting pdf: barcodes_table.pdf
There's nothing difficult about it. You just create a table with 4 column and you add 12 cell:
PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(4); table.setWidthPercentage(100); for (int i = 0; i
The createBarcode() method creates a cell with a barcode:
public static PdfPCell createBarcode(PdfWriter writer, String code) throws DocumentException, IOException { BarcodeEAN barcode = new BarcodeEAN(); barcode.setCodeType(Barcode.EAN8); barcode.setCode(code); PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell(barcode.createImageWithBarcode(writer.getDirectContent(), BaseColor.BLACK, BaseColor.GRAY), true); cell.setPadding(10); return cell; }
