Image resizes when inserted in PdfCell

Question

I'm trying to create Pdf using itextsharp. I have added one table conataining two columns one containing text and other image. I want to have constant image size

1. My Image automatically resizes if the text present in another cell increases and image present in other cell has different sizes

     for (int i = 0; i < visitInfo.VisitsiteComplience.Count; ++i)
       {
   
           cellprop.Colspan = 1;
           cellprop.Pharse = visitInfo.VisitsiteComplience[i].Compliencedescription;
           cellprop.BaseColor = null;
           table.AddCell(AddCelltoTable(cellprop));
           yesicon.ScaleAbsolute(35f, 35f);
           noicon.ScaleAbsolute(35f, 35f);
   
           if (visitInfo.VisitsiteComplience[i].Status == "1")
           {
   
               statuscell.AddElement(new Chunk(noicon, 0, 0));
   
           }
           else
           {
   
              // statuscell.AddElement(new Chunk(noicon, 0, 0));
           }
   
   
          statuscell.FixedHeight = 10;
   
   
           //headerLeftCell.Border = PdfPCell.NO_BORDER;
           table.AddCell(statuscell);
       }
   

2. Then I changed the code but now Image size increases and occupies full cell

     for (int i = 0; i < visitInfo.VisitsiteComplience.Count; ++i)
        {

            cellprop.Colspan = 1;
            cellprop.Pharse = visitInfo.VisitsiteComplience[i].Compliencedescription;
            cellprop.BaseColor = null;
            table.AddCell(AddCelltoTable(cellprop));
            yesicon.ScaleAbsolute(35f, 35f);
            noicon.ScaleAbsolute(35f, 35f);

            if (visitInfo.VisitsiteComplience[i].Status == "1")
            {

                statuscell.AddElement(new Chunk(noicon, 0, 0));

            }
            else
            {

               // statuscell.AddElement(new Chunk(noicon, 0, 0));
            }





            //headerLeftCell.Border = PdfPCell.NO_BORDER;
            table.AddCell(statuscell);
        }

Answer 1

I think you're scaling the image yourself like this: noicon.ScaleAbsolute(35f, 35f);

It also puzzles me why you're wrapping the image inside a Chunk. You can create a PdfPCell that takes an Image as parameter as well as a Bool to defines whether or not iText should scale the Image. See page 109 of the book iText in Action (of which I'm the author) and take a look at the XMen example of chapter 4.

Answer 2

Image image = Image.getInstance("D:/star.png");

PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell();

cell.setFixedHeight(40f);

cell.addElement(image);

table.addCell(cell);
