How to change width of single column of a table?

Question

hello I have created table in PDF file using Itext library heading of my table columns are Medicine Name, Doses, time

My problem is: this is how my columns look like:

|Medicin|Doses|time|
| e name|     |    |

as you can see e falls in new line I have tried many things but cant figure out how to arrange my columns like :

|Medicine|Doses|time|
|  name  |     |    |

Did you try changing the widths of the column? That's not clear from your question. The different columns already like to have a different width in your example. — Bruno Lowagie, Jun 10 '14 at 13:19
there is no option to set width of column explicitly in Itext library. space is divided equally in total no of columns. — DCoder, Jun 10 '14 at 13:22
I'm the original developer of iText and the author of the iText books. I know for a fact that there's more than one way to set the width of columns in iText ;-) — Bruno Lowagie, Jun 10 '14 at 13:27
ohhh... My apology. iText is awesome.. actually for whole time I was working on cell. — DCoder, Jun 10 '14 at 13:34

The ColumnWidths example demonstrates different ways of changing the width of a column. This is one specific way:

PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(3);
table.setWidths(new int[]{2, 1, 1});

Now the width of the first column is double the size of the second and third column. See the complete example for other ways to change the widths of columns.
