Remove Border Line of HeaderFooter Class

[bzhang-2]

Dear Sir / Madam,

When I use HeaderFooter class to generate a header and footer text, there are top and bottom border line around the text. For example:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
header text
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

body text .....

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
footer text
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Is it possible to remove the top border line for header text and bottom border line for footer text? So the above picture become:

header text
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

body text .....

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
footer text

First of all: the use of HeaderFooter is discouraged.
The book, the online tutorial,... advise the use of page events.

Remove the borders: header.setBorder(Rectangle.NO_BORDER);
Add a bottom border: header.setBorder(Rectangle.BOTTOM);
Add a top border: footer.setBorder(Rectangle.TOP);
Add a top and bottom border (the default):
footer.setBorder(Rectangle.TOP | Rectangle.BORDER);

But as I said before: you shouldn't use class HeaderFooter.

Bruno

Please don't answer to me personally,
reply to the mailing list address only!

If you're referring to the book, that would be chapter 14.
All the examples are available online here:
http://1t3xt.info/examples/browse/?page=toc&id=19

If you're referring to the free, only tutorial, you need this page:
http://itextdocs.lowagie.com/tutorial/directcontent/pageevents/index.php

As I have just explained to somebody else on the mailing list,
you should use Google before asking questions with trivial answers.
It's not as we do an extra effort to hide the examples, is it?
br,
Bruno
