I'm using dataexporter to create a pdf of a data table, in my data table the header of the columns is centralized, however the pdf version of the same columns is align to the left. how can I make the columns of the pdf be centralized like the data table.
I use the solution to customize the PDFExporter, it work very well, thank you for your attention. Below is how i've done:
My custom class:
public class CustomPDFExporter extends PDFExporter {
@Override
protected void addColumnFacets(DataTable table, PdfPTable pdfTable, ColumnType columnType) {
for(UIColumn col : table.getColumns()) {
if(!col.isRendered()) {
continue;
}
if(col instanceof DynamicColumn) {
((DynamicColumn) col).applyModel();
}
if(col.isExportable()) {
addHeaderValue(pdfTable, col.getFacet(columnType.facet()), FontFactory.getFont(FontFactory.TIMES, "iso-8859-1", Font.DEFAULTSIZE, Font.BOLD));
}
}
}
protected void addHeaderValue(PdfPTable pdfTable, UIComponent component, Font font) {
String value = component == null ? "" : exportValue(FacesContext.getCurrentInstance(), component);
PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell(new Paragraph(value, font));
cell.setHorizontalAlignment(Element.ALIGN_CENTER);
pdfTable.addCell(cell);
}
}
bean:
public void exportPDF(DataTable table, String filename) throws IOException {
FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
Exporter exporter = new CustomPDFExporter();
exporter.export(context, table, filename, false, false, "iso-8859-1", null, null);
context.responseComplete();
}
In my page I added:
<h:commandLink action="#{boxBean.exportPDF(boxTable, 'relatorio_caixas')}" >
<p:graphicImage value="/resources/img/pdf.png"/>
</h:commandLink>
