Question

Am trying to find an equivalent method in Itext 7 to set the below style on lists. Is there any API available in Itext7 ?

list-style-position: inside;

Answer 1

Yes, there is API available to set analogue of list-style-position CSS property directly in layout code. For that, use listElement.setProperty(Property.LIST_SYMBOL_POSITION, ListSymbolPosition.INSIDE);

Example code:

Document document = new Document(pdfDocument);

List defaultList = new List();
for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
    defaultList
            .add("Am trying to find an equivalent method in Itext 7 to set the below style on lists. Is there any API available in Itext7");
}

List bulletPositionInsideList = new List();
for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
    bulletPositionInsideList
            .add("Am trying to find an equivalent method in Itext 7 to set the below style on lists. Is there any API available in Itext7");
}
bulletPositionInsideList.setProperty(Property.LIST_SYMBOL_POSITION, ListSymbolPosition.INSIDE);

document.add(defaultList);
document.add(bulletPositionInsideList);

Visual result of default list vs one with list symbol position set to inside:
