I have two tables which must fit into the sam page. So I did create a main table
(class Table) and used its metod 'setTableFitsPage (true)'; then I inserted my 2
table (class Table, too) as cells into the main table (with som space between).
That worked.
Now I use class PdfPTable. I didn't want to change my code a lot, and after
inserting the tables, I only got the space between them. I didnt find something
which would be equivalent to '<Table>.setTableFitsPage' in PdfPTable.
I send you a simplified piece of code to show you what was running and what I'm
trying to do now (it's executable). What's wrong?
Thank you very much for any hint
Christoph
