使用iText生成PDF文档点滴

最近做项目用到了iText工具包生成PDF文档，就使用中的技巧做个留痕。
因为用到的最多的是关于在PDF中生成表格，所以只记录了一些表格的操作。

//List中放的是需要导出的信息对象，这个可以根据自己的情况不同
public File exportPDFforPayment(List appealList)
	{

		Document document = new Document(PageSize.A4,10,10,10,10); //设置生成的文档的大小，以及边距
		float totalAmount = 0;
		String filepath = "c:\\test.pdf";
		try {
			PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new FileOutputStream(filepath));
			document.addSubject("Payment Infomation");//设置主题
			document.addTitle("title");//设置标题
		/*这些必须在文档打开前调用*/
			document.open();
			Table containtTable = new Table(1);//创建一个一列的表格
			containtTable.setPadding(3);
			containtTable.setWidth(100);
			containtTable.setBorderWidth(0);
			containtTable.setDefaultCellBorder(0);//设置如果某个cell没有填充值的时候边框的宽度

			/*这里循环list,每个对象输出一行，并且实现隔行变色*/
			for (int i=0;i<appealList.size();i++)
			{
				Cell cell = new Cell();//创建一个单元格
				if (i%2==0)
					cell.addElement(this.makeInnerTable(false,appealList.get(i)));//为单元格增加元素，这里实现的是单元格中再套一个表格
				else
					cell.addElement(this.makeInnerTable(true,appealList.get(i)));
				containtTable.addCell(cell);//表格加入该单元格
				totalAmount+=Float.parseFloat(appealList.get(i).getAmount());
			}

			Cell cell = new Cell(new Chunk("Total Amount:$"+totalAmount, FontFactory.getFont("Verdana,Arial", 8,Font.UNDERLINE)));//设置单元格的元素，这次是个单元格中直接加入文字
			cell.setBorderWidth(0);
			cell.setHorizontalAlignment(Cell.ALIGN_RIGHT);//设置单元格对其方式
			containtTable.addCell(cell);

			document.add(containtTable);//文档加入表格
			document.close();
		} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
			// TODO Auto-generated catch block
			e.printStackTrace();
		} catch (DocumentException e) {
			// TODO Auto-generated catch block
			e.printStackTrace();
		}

		return new File(filepath);
	}

	private Table makeInnerTable(boolean isodd,Appeal appeal) throws BadElementException
