Class DefaultSplitCharacter

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    SplitCharacter

    public class DefaultSplitCharacter
    extends Object
    implements SplitCharacter

    The default class that is used to determine whether or not a character is a split character.

    You can add an array of characters or a single character on which iText should split the chunk. If custom characters have been set, iText will ignore the default characters this class uses to split chunks.

      • isSplitCharacter

        public boolean isSplitCharacter​(int start,
                                        int current,
                                        int end,
                                        char[] cc,
                                        PdfChunk[] ck)

        Checks if a character can be used to split a PdfString.

        The default behavior is that every character less than or equal to SPACE, the character '-' and some specific unicode ranges are 'splitCharacters'.

        If custom splittable characters are set using the specified constructors, then this class will ignore the default characters described in the previous paragraph.
