i am trying to add spaces between the string

Example:

Paragraph preface = new Paragraph();
String para1="First Name :      chandra";
 preface.add(new Paragraph(para1, 
            new Font(Font.FontFamily.TIMES_ROMAN, 11,Font.NORMAL)));
document.add(preface);

i am expecting the output as: First Name : chandra but i got the output as below: First Name :chandra

If you're actually looking for a 'tab' then use "First Name :\tchandra"; – FearlessHyena Apr 26 '16 at 16:17
PDFs aren't aware of the `\t` character, so that won't work @SHA1 – Bruno Lowagie Apr 26 '16 at 17:19
@BrunoLowagie my bad. thanks for pointing that out. I should've checked what iText was before commenting – FearlessHyena Apr 26 '16 at 19:05
