[iText-questions] Problem with fitsPage for PdfPTables

[Christian Lauer]

Hi Paulo,

it seems there's a problem with the PdfWriter.fitsPage method for
PdfPTables has a little bug. The attached JAVA program creates a table
that should be kept together on one page. To do this it calls the
fitsPage method of the PdfWriter to check the remaining space at the
current page. In the following expample - which implements a test case,
submitted by an UJAC user - fitsPage returns true, but the table doesn't
really fit the page and when the table is added to the document, the
last table row is displayed on the next page. 

Best regards,
Christian
