Hi,

I'm struggling with the following problem.  I am using iText to generate a
page that has 3 tables on it - a top (header) table, a bottom (footer) table
and a body table.  (Header and footer tables are not actual headers and
footers - they just sit at the top and bottom of the page).  Now my problem
is that I have to ensure that the top table is always at the topmost part of
the page, and that the footer table is always at the bottom most part of the
page.  Finally, the middle table must be able to expand to fill all the
remaining space on the page between the top and bottom tables.

Unfortunately, none of these tables are fixed sizes, so they fluctuate based
on content.

How can I "auto-expand" the middle table to pick up any additional slack on
the page and make sure that it fills all the empty space between the top and
bottom tables?  How can I make sure that the bottom table is always at the
lowest possible part of the page?

I am using PdfPTables.  I originally thought I could use PdfPTable.getSize()
and calculate any extra space necessary in the middle table, however, the
PdfPTable.getSize() only seems to return a size once it has already been
added to the document.

Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Eric
