All Implemented Interfaces:

Element

public class PdfCell
extends Rectangle

A PdfCell is the PDF translation of a Cell.

A PdfCell is an ArrayList of PdfLines.

When using variable borders (isUseVariableBorders() == true), the borders are drawn completely inside the cell Rectangle so that adjacent cell borders will not overlap. Otherwise, the borders are drawn on top of the edges of the cell Rectangle and will overlap the borders of adjacent cells.
