export to PDF table columns not wrapped

Question

I created very simple test which contains table with 2 columns. One column contains long line without spaces and second columns small line. In doc I see that line from the first line is wrapped

And I convert this document to PDF using

• Sample example
• service

Result is the same - line from first column is writed over second column

Answer 1

Not a solution, but since this is an XSL FO / FOP issue, for insight into the issue, please see:

XSL-FO: Force Wrap on Table Entries

XSL-FO fop. Long text flows into adjacent cells/block, obscuring stuff there

Answer 2

The following isn't pretty, but it achieves wrapping, by inserting zero-width spaces after each character. If you wanted, you could insert them every x characters or use some other heuristic to choose better places to break.

String zeroWidthSpace = Character.toString((char) 8203);
textToInsert = textToInsert(("(.)"), "$1" + zeroWidthSpace);
td.getContent().add(mdp.createParagraphOfText(textToInsert));
