1. Re: Table in PDF footer is rendered in header
Can you open a JIRA issue for this? I definitely see that this is a problem.

2. Re: Table in PDF footer is rendered in header
I wanted to have in my footer the report date on the left and
page x
on the right. I also tried a table at first but I had the same problem you did. I found that just using space characters rendered line spacing in the pdf (scroll all the way to the right to see what I mean!):<f:facet name="header"> <font size="8"> <footer borderWidthTop="0" borderWidthBottom="0" alignment="center">#{dateTimeDisplay.dateDisplay} Page: <pageNumber /></footer> </font> </f:facet>If your footer text width might vary widely this might not work for you. I feel comfortable with it in my scenario since the text widths will remain pretty much the same.

3. Re: Table in PDF footer is rendered in header
hi,
i also have the same problem. The footer is get out just under the header.
I try to get a table in the footer but have no success with it.
I saw in the forum some ideas to use html table. But it does not work in the footer.Since this thread is one year old i would hope there should be a workaroud or a fix
If it was implemented already may be there are some ideas how it could be implemented??
any tips would be very nice
thanks and regards

4. Re: Table in PDF footer is rendered in header
hi,
i have built my own solution for this problem. May be someone find it usefull...
First i have implemented a TAG:public class UIDirectFooter extends ITextComponent { /** * @return the footerContent */ public Iterator<Element> getFooterContent() { return footerContent.iterator(); } protected List<Element> footerContent = null; /** {@inheritDoc} */ @Override public void createITextObject(FacesContext context) throws IOException, DocumentException { System.out.println("UIDirectFooter createITextObject() called"); footerContent = new ArrayList<Element>(); } /** {@inheritDoc} */ @Override public Object getITextObject() { System.out.println("UIDirectFooter getITextObject() called"); return null; } /** {@inheritDoc} */ @Override public void handleAdd(Object other) { System.out.println("UIDirectFooter handleAdd() called"); if (other instanceof Element) { Element element = (Element) other; System.out.println("try to add " + element.getClass().getName()); footerContent.add(element); } else { throw new IllegalArgumentException("cannot add " + other); } } /** {@inheritDoc} */ @Override public void removeITextObject() { System.out.println("UIDirectFooter removeITextObject() called"); } }Then i have a seam component derived from UIDocument. The footer drawing is made in it.
@Name("documentoSeamFooterPdf") @Scope(ScopeType.CONVERSATION) public class SeamPdfFooterDocument extends UIDocument { /** {@inheritDoc} */ @Override protected void processHeaders() { processHeader("header"); processHeader("footer"); } protected void processHeader(String facetName) { UIComponent facet = getFacet(facetName); if (facet == null) { return; } try { encode(FacesContext.getCurrentInstance(), facet); } catch (Exception e) { throw new RuntimeException(e); } } protected UIDirectFooter getDirectFooter() { UIComponent facet = getFacet("footer"); if (facet == null) { return null; } if (!(facet instanceof UIDirectFooter)) { throw new RuntimeException("Only directFooter tag is allowed in facet 'footer'"); } return (UIDirectFooter) facet; } /** {@inheritDoc} */ @Override public void encodeBegin(FacesContext context) throws IOException { super.encodeBegin(context); DocWriter writer = getWriter(); if (writer != null && writer instanceof PdfWriter) { PdfWriter pdfWriter = (PdfWriter) writer; pdfWriter.setPageEvent(new PdfDocumentEventListener()); } } private class PdfDocumentEventListener extends PdfPageEventHelper { /** {@inheritDoc} */ @Override public void onEndPage(PdfWriter writer, Document document) { PdfContentByte cb = writer.getDirectContent(); UIDirectFooter footer = getDirectFooter(); if (footer == null) { return; } PdfPTable footerTable = new PdfPTable(1); footerTable.setTotalWidth(document.right() - document.left()); PdfPCell footerCell = new PdfPCell(); footerCell.setBorder(PdfPCell.NO_BORDER); footerCell.setHorizontalAlignment(Element.ALIGN_LEFT); footerCell.setVerticalAlignment(Element.ALIGN_TOP); footerCell.setPadding(0); for (Iterator<Element> iterator = footer.getFooterContent(); iterator.hasNext();) { Element element = (Element) iterator.next(); footerCell.addElement(element); } footerTable.addCell(footerCell); footerTable.writeSelectedRows(0, -1, document.left(), document.bottom() + footerTable.getTotalHeight(), cb); } } }and the using sample:
<p:document xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets" xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" xmlns:p="http://jboss.com/products/seam/pdf" xmlns:ej="http://mydomain.com/taglib" binding="#{documentoSeamFooterPdf}"> <f:facet name="header"> <p:header borderWidthTop="0" borderColor="blue" borderWidthBottom="1" alignment="center"> <p:font size="12"> HEADER </p:font> </p:header> </f:facet> <f:facet name="footer"> <ej:directFooter> <p:text value="ich bin text inside of direct footer" /> <p:table columns="1" horizontalAlignment="center"> <f:facet name="defaultCell"> <p:cell horizontalAlignment="center" borderWidth="0" /> </f:facet> <p:cell horizontalAlignment="center"> <p:paragraph> <p:font size="7" horizontalAlignment="center">#{someBean.line}</p:font> </p:paragraph> </p:cell> <p:cell horizontalAlignment="center"> <p:paragraph> <p:font size="7" horizontalAlignment="center">Line 2:</p:font> </p:paragraph> </p:cell> </p:table> </ej:directFooter> </f:facet> <p:font size="12" style="bold"> <p:paragraph alignment="right" indentationRight="30">-INVOICE-</p:paragraph> </p:font> </p:document>It works fine for me.
