Hi,

I am using iText Version: 2.1.3

Problem Description: In my application, user is provided a configurable
option to select data columns which he wants to see on UI in form of a
table. (refer the attachment 'PDFExportDocument.jpg' for visual clarity).
Since it is a configurable view, that means the number of columns in the
view varies (it can from 10 columns to 100+ columns).

http://www.nabble.com/file/p23566224/ExamplePDFTable.jpg 

Not only the columns, but also the data records shows against this view can
vary (that means number of rows).

I need to write a PDF export utility to generate a pdf document against this
view. I was going through the itext tutorial
<http://itextdocs.lowagie.com/tutorial> where I saw Split Table example. I
tried this example for my problem but when I have more rows (data) it
doesn't split the table automatically to another page. I can explicitly
mention the number of columns on one page but it is difficult to mention the
number of rows per page. 

table.writeSelectedRows(0, 5, 0, -1, 50, 650, cb);

Number of rows (data) per page depends upon the content in the cell. If the
content is large (like comments or remarks columns) then 4-5 rows can only
fit on one page, if content is small 7-8 rows can fit on one page.

Can anyone suggest me some approach or any sample code to implement this
requirement.

I appreciate all your help/time.
