Hi all

 

first thanks to Paulo and Bruno for answering my previous question.

 

I have another question related to underlined text.

I use DirectContent and would like to write underlined text to a specific position. For normal text i use:

 

PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new FileOutputStream("test.pdf"));
document.open();

PdfContentByte cb = writer.getDirectContent();
cb.beginText();                         
BaseFont bf = BaseFont.createFont(BaseFont.HELVETICA, BaseFont.CP1252, BaseFont.NOT_EMBEDDED);
cb.setFontAndSize(bf, 10);
cb.showTextAligned(PdfContentByte.ALIGN_LEFT, "text", 10, 10, 0);

 

Now i could not find a way to make a BaseFont underlined. In the Font class, there is a related method to underline the text, but i can not set Font with cb.setFontAndSize().

 

Could please someone give a hint, how i can solve that issue?

 

Thanks a lot
