Hi,

Maybe you could use a two-column page, and a table with only two columns.

So you should get:
Year | name : 2010  Mitch 
=========== : 2011  Nick 
2007  Tom   : 2012  Carl 
2008  Brenda: 2013  Emmi
2009  Andy  :

You might also want to ask the headers to repeat on a break.

So you should get:
Year | name : Year | name 
=========== : =========== 
2007  Tom   : 2011  Nick
2008  Brenda: 2012  Carl
2009  Andy  : 2013  Emmi
2010  Mitch :

On a page-break, the data would first fill both columns on page 1, then the 
second page would also have two columns (if necessary), repeated headers, etc.

Problems:
* I believe you can use multiple columns inside a page, although I don't know 
how...
* Also, I'm not sure you can change the number of columns, within the same page.

OTOH, it's standard practice (just pick up a newspaper), so I expect both to be 
possible.

HTH,

Jonathan

Objet : Two successive columns in a table --> problem with the page-break


Hi,

I am encountered with the following problem, would be great if anyone has an
idea how to solve it.
The table to be desplayed in my pdf looks like this:

year |   name   || year |   name
=======================
2007    Tom        2011     Nick
2008    Brenda    2012      Carl
2009    Andy       2013     Emmi
2010    Mitch

and so on. I don't know the length of the table (number of years, there may
be 50 or so)) and I don't know the position on the page where the table
starts because the PDF consists of dynamic content.
If there ist a page-break I would like to have this:

year |   name   || year |   name
=======================
2007    Tom        2009     Andy 
2008    Brenda    2010      Mitch
----- page break --------------
2011    Nick       2013      Emmi
2012    Carl

But, maybe needless to say, I get this:

year |   name   || year |   name
=======================
2007    Tom        2011     Nick
2008    Brenda    2012      Carl
-----page break--------------
2009    Andy      2013      Emmi
2010    Mitch

I was searching for getting to know my current position on a page, so that I
can split the table into two. But obviously there is no way for that. Any
other ideas?
