Horizontal line

[kbrender]

I want to add a signature line to a PDF above the text of the name. The person may print the PDF and sign his name on this line. How can one draw a horizontal line on a PDF in Seam PDF?

Create a table, and in the cell that contains the typewritten name, or just 'Name', set the top border to some non-zero value.  It will render that cell with a line above whatever text you place in the cell.

This is a good idea. It is not ideal, for the line length is restricted to the width of the cell, but one can manipulate the cell width. Thank you!

If you look in the Seam PDF JIRA issues, you'll find a tag library that offers line drawing, absolute positioning, etc.  I've used it, and it works well.  If you create a lot of PDFs with Seam, you'll soon learn to love manipulating tables within it.  It was the only way I could accomplish certain things.
