How to prevent images from resizing in a table cell?
I would like to create a table that has a list of dots. I don't know ahead of time how many dots I have, but if they overflow the cell, I want them to wrap, just like text would. My code is something like this:
PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(1); table.setTotalWidth(new float[]{80}); table.setLockedWidth(true); Phrase listOfDots = new Phrase(); for (int i = 0; i 40; i++) { listOfDots.add(new Chunk(pdf.correct, 0, 0)); listOfDots.add(new Chunk(" ")); } table.addCell(listOfDots); outerCell.addElement(table);

Please take a look at the ImagesInChunkInCell example. Instead of a bullet, I took the image of a light bulb.
Images in cell
I was able to reproduce the problem you described, but as you can see in list_with_images.pdf, I added one extra line to prevent the undesired behavior:
Image image = Image.getInstance(IMG);
image.setScaleToFitHeight(false);
PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(1);
table.setTotalWidth(new float[]{120});
table.setLockedWidth(true);
Phrase listOfDots = new Phrase();
for (int i = 0; i
The extra line is:
image.setScaleToFitHeight(false);
This prevents that the image is scaled.
