It is odd, I agree, but there's some logic behind it.
The first thing you need to know that a PdfPCell is treated as a
ColumnText object.
There are two ways to add content to a ColumnText object:
- in text mode
- in composite mode
When you add objects in text mode, the alignment of the object is ignored.
You have to set the alignment at the ColumnText/PdfPCell level.
When you add objects in composite mode, the alignment of the objects is
preserved, but you may loose ColumnText/PdfPCell properties.
To solve your problem, use:
PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(1);
table.setWidthPercentage(100f);
Phrase phrase = new Phrase(new Chunk("Hello",font));
PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell(phrase);
cell.setHorizontalAlignment(Element.ALIGN_RIGHT);
cell.setPadding(padding);
table.addCell(cell);
