The creation of a table in a PDF using Java is done by installing the document class. While instantiating this class, pass a PdfDocument object as a parameter to its constructor. Then, to feature a table to the document, instantiate the Table class, and add this object to the document using the add() method.
Note: External jar files are required to perform operations on PDF.
Below is an example PDF adding a table in a pdf using java with all the steps:
Java
// Adding table in a pdf using javaimport com.itextpdf.kernel.pdf.PdfDocument;import com.itextpdf.kernel.pdf.PdfWriter;  import com.itextpdf.layout.Document;import com.itextpdf.layout.element.Cell;import com.itextpdf.layout.element.Table;  public class AddingTableToPDF {    public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception    {        String file            = "C:/EXAMPLES/itextExamples/addingTableToPDF.pdf";          // Step-1 Creating a PdfDocument object        PdfDocument pdfDoc            = new PdfDocument(new PdfWriter(file));          // Step-2 Creating a Document object        Document doc = new Document(pdfDoc);          // Step-3 Creating a table        Table table = new Table(2);          // Step-4 Adding cells to the table        table.addCell(new Cell().add("Name"));        table.addCell(new Cell().add("Raju"));        table.addCell(new Cell().add("Id"));        table.addCell(new Cell().add("1001"));        table.addCell(new Cell().add("Designation"));        table.addCell(new Cell().add("Programmer"));          // Step-6 Adding Table to document        doc.add(table);          // Step-7 Closing the document        doc.close();        System.out.println("Table created successfully..");    }} |
