How to generate a Pdf in Land Scape orientation from a html string using Itext 2

Question

I am using this code to generate a PDF from HTML String.

ITextRenderer renderer = new ITextRenderer();
renderer.setDocumentFromString(new String(htmlString.getBytes("UTF-8")));

In table some row contains data of a very large length.Due to which the text is overflowing the PDF.I have used Word Wrap in HTML.But this is not working in PDF generated by the code. I want to know if there is any alternative in IText 2 to Word Wrap?

Or can i generate my PDF in Landscape Mode so that i could display the whole data in PDF.

Any suggestion is welcomed.

Answer 1

You can set your page in landscape mode using CSS, using:

@page { size: A4 landscape;}

The page size is part of CSS 3 specification, and is supported by flying saucer.
