If the sample had 5 lines from the previous paragraph (it can't be the whole paragraph because there would be too much white space on the second page), it would be acceptable.
I look forward to any further suggestions -- I will start looking at ColumnText for now.
Thanks, Tom

Usually when the layout requirements increase it's time to use ColumnText. It would be nice to see an image of the intended result.

Attached is a sample of what I'm talking about. I created the sample from an html document using the pdf print driver. This sample is unacceptable because the signature line is on the 3rd page with no lines from the previous paragraph (sample order text) on the same page. Also, notice where the image is on the signature line. I need to do the same thing.
If the sample had 5 lines from the previous paragraph (it can't be the whole paragraph because there would be too much white space on the second page), it would be acceptable.
