Here is the code I used to test it. The change I made to ColumnText works
fine in production, but I am getting unexpected results in this test code.
The headers are missing whenever the next "chunk" starts at the top of the
page. Other than that, it seems to work.
package test;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import com.lowagie.text.Document;
import com.lowagie.text.DocumentException;
import com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfPTable;
import com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfWriter;

public class HeaderTest
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
try
{
Document pdfDoc = new Document();
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(pdfDoc, new
FileOutputStream("/home/olsenm/headertest.pdf"));
pdfDoc.open();
// set skipFirstHeader to false for first chunk
pdfDoc.add(getContent(false));
// add content in chunks with skipFirstHeader set to true
for (int i=0; i < 10; i++)
pdfDoc.add(getContent(true));
pdfDoc.close();
writer.flush();
writer.close();
}
catch (DocumentException e)
{
e.printStackTrace(); //Todo - Implement this properly
}
catch (FileNotFoundException e)
{
e.printStackTrace(); //Todo - Implement this properly
}
}
private static PdfPTable getContent(boolean skipHeader)
{
PdfPTable outerTable = getOuterContent();
PdfPTable innerTable = getInnerContent();
outerTable.setSkipFirstHeader(skipHeader);
innerTable.setSkipFirstHeader(skipHeader);
outerTable.addCell(innerTable);
return outerTable;
}
private static PdfPTable getOuterContent()
{
PdfPTable outerTable = new PdfPTable(1);
outerTable.setSplitRows( true);
outerTable.setSplitLate( false);
outerTable.addCell("OUTER HEADER");
outerTable.setHeaderRows(1);
// for (int i=1; i < 3; i++)
// outerTable.addCell(" Outer Content " + i);
return outerTable;
}
private static PdfPTable getInnerContent()
{
PdfPTable innerTable = new PdfPTable(1);
innerTable.setSplitRows( true);
innerTable.setSplitLate( false);
innerTable.addCell(" INNER HEADER");
innerTable.setHeaderRows(1);
for (int i=1; i < 91; i++)
innerTable.addCell(" Inner Content " + i);
return innerTable;
}
}

Are you sure this doesn't break the code when using it outside nested
tables? Can you post a small complete example both with inner and outer
tables?
