/* * Spread oversized table: * Output a table on 2 x m pages as it is needed to fit it completely. * * A table has a width which exceeds the width of the page. Therefore output * the table on a pair of pages with one page acting as the left and one page * acting as the right page. Add pairs of pages until the table has been placed * completely. * Output each table instance twice with an appropriate clipping rectangle * applied to the "left" or the "right" part, respectively. Use the "rewind" * option of fit_table() to rewind the table to the state before the fit_table() * call used to place the first table instance. Otherwise the table instance * could not be placed a second time. * * In Acrobat, display the table as follows: * Disable "View, Page Display, Show Cover Page in Two-Page View" if enabled. * Choose "View, Page Display, Two Page View" to display two pages next to each * other. * * Required software: PDFlib/PDFlib+PDI/PPS 9 * Required data: font */ package com.pdflib.cookbook.pdflib.table; import com.pdflib.pdflib; import com.pdflib.PDFlibException; public class spread_oversized_table { public static void main (String argv[]) { /* This is where the data files are.
