The hint, that one has to discard the ColumnText used for testing with the go-method, and create a new one for putting the contents finally in, is MOST ESSENTIAL! It is most important and should be mentioned first thing, in order to avoid such ugly results, which I got before.
Thanks for doing so after all, but I guess I'm not the only one, who got confused with it. Perhaps you should think of creating a method of the ColumnText, which does the testing for enough space and, in case the elements don't fit, creates a new instance of its own and puts the contents there. Everybody who wants to use (or has to use) ColumnText must write his/her own method, which does more or less the same (keeping control of the elements to be kept together), which isn't much efficient. Just a thought, but propably worth some thinking over, don't you agree?
Anyways, many thanks
Michael

Subject: Re: [iText-questions] Keeping things togetherBut there IS an output on the next page! Bruno had explained, that the ct.go(true) can be used to see, if the elements fit on a page, and if not I can create a new page and put the whole elements that should be kept together there. If I ALWAYS get an output of what is left on the next page, this is no propper way of keeping things together, which would bring me back to my initial problem....
Is there a real solution to this?
2006/6/1, Paulo Soares <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:ct.go(true) does exactly the same thing as the regular go() with the exception that there's no output. This means that it consumes the text and whatever is left will be used next. You'll have to create a new ColumnText or use the copy constructor just for testing.Paulo

Subject: Re: [iText-questions] Keeping things togetherNow a different problem has appeared. When I simulate the additions, it seems, that the part, that doesn't fit on the first page gets printed anyways on the second page, and the y-coordinate starts at the position afterwards. Maybe there's some conflict with the PageEvents? In order to ilustrate the effect I have added some code and the end-product. I don't think that this looks very sexy. Maybe there's some problem with working on the DirectContents all the time?

And don't confuse with addText either.
