package org.kodejava.itextpdf;
import com.itextpdf.text.Document;
import com.itextpdf.text.DocumentException;
import com.itextpdf.text.List;
import com.itextpdf.text.ListItem;
import com.itextpdf.text.pdf.PdfWriter;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
public class ListDemo {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Document document = new Document();
try {
PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new FileOutputStream("ListDemo.pdf"));
document.open();
List ordered = new List(List.ORDERED);
ordered.add(new ListItem("Item 1"));
ordered.add(new ListItem("Item 2"));
ordered.add(new ListItem("Item 3"));
document.add(ordered);
List unordered = new List(List.UNORDERED);
unordered.add(new ListItem("Item 1"));
unordered.add(new ListItem("Item 2"));
unordered.add(new ListItem("Item 3"));
document.add(unordered);
} catch (DocumentException | FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
document.close();
