Ok,
Can I calculate the size of a PdfPTable before definitely adding it to the
document.
Because if it is to big for a software-defined area, that changes every new
position of the invoice, I have to print different headers and footers. And
there might be a recursion of multiple "Lists".
Here an example:
-----Page 1-----
Client: Hugo
Address 1
Pos 1
Pos 2
Pos 3
Address 2
Pos 1
Pos 2
-----------------
-----Page 2-----
Client: Hugo
Address 3
Pos 1
Pos 2
Pos 3
-----------------
If e.g. there are more than 2 positions for address 2 this block does not
fit to the first page completely. Therefor the second page should look like:
-----Page 2-----
Client: Hugo
Address 2
Pos 3
Address 3
Pos 1
Pos 2
Pos 3
-----------------
If you need complex layouts use PdfPTable and ColumnText placed at precise
positions. You'll have full control of dimensions and positioning.
For headers and footers use page events.
