how can I use columnText to append text a document.. I get the following
exception.


com.lowagie.text.DocumentException: Irregular columns are not supported in
composite mode.
 at com.lowagie.text.pdf.ColumnText.goComposite(Unknown Source)
 at com.lowagie.text.pdf.ColumnText.go(Unknown Source)
 at com.lowagie.text.pdf.ColumnText.go(Unknown Source)

for the code below. I created a document before this adn added lot of
content using PdfPTable.

   StyleSheet style = new StyleSheet();

   style.loadTagStyle("ul", "face", "Times");
   style.loadTagStyle("ul", "size", "25px");
   style.loadTagStyle("ul", "leading", "15f");
   style.loadTagStyle("li", "face", "Times");
   style.loadTagStyle("li", "size", "25px");
   style.loadTagStyle("li", "leading", "15f");
   style.loadTagStyle("p", "face", "Times");
   style.loadTagStyle("p", "size", "11px");
   style.loadTagStyle("p", "leading", "12f");
   style.loadTagStyle("p", "spacingAfter", "6x");

/*    
   HTMLWorker worker = new HTMLWorker(letterDocument);
   worker.setStyleSheet(style);
   worker.parse(new StringReader(readyJob.getContent()));
*/

   PdfContentByte cb = letterWriter.getDirectContent();
   ArrayList arr = HTMLWorker.parseToList(new
StringReader(readyJob.getContent())
       ,style);
   ColumnText ct = new ColumnText(cb);
   for (int k = 0; k < arr.size(); ++k){
     Element element = (Element)arr.get(k);
      if(element instanceof Paragraph){
       Paragraph p = (Paragraph)element;
       p.setSpacingAfter(6f);
      }
     ct.addElement(element);
   }
   ct.go();
