Create PDF using iTextG with Table Design

In previous tutorial PDF Creator using iTextG Library we discussed hoe to create PDF using iTextG library.
In this tutorial we will see how to design a PDF in Table format

Before going to this tutorial make sure how to create a PDF using iTextG Library PDF Creator using iTextG Library

 The following sample will give you clear picture to create PDF in Table format

Create a New project
Add dependencies and permissions for Writing Local Storage
Add the to your apps Gradle file:
build.gradle
compile 'com.itextpdf:itextg:5.5.10'

To create a Pdf file, our app will need the some permissions, open your project’s AndroidManifest.xml and add the following permission.

AndroidManifest.xml
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>


activity_main.xml




<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:gravity="center">
<Button
    android:id="@+id/button_create"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="Create PDF"/>
</LinearLayout>




Design looks like
