I can imagine this very well. The version you are using is more than 4 years old. > With old library I used to manage large tables is such way: every row of > table was a new table that I collate with previous with a negative offset. > (For example datatable.setoffset(-10f); ) I know.

I have been in the same situation as you a few years ago. I solved it like this: I took the iText source code. I used an IDE that is able to refactor code. I refactored the more recent iText version changing the package names com.lowagie.text into com.lowagie.text2. I didn't change the old code: I still used import com.lowagie.text.* But for the new source code (that needed new functionality), I used import com.lowagie.text2.* I don't remember which IDE I used, I think it was Eclipse, but if you make a new iText2.jar, let us know, because Paul Hastings who has just posted a question about tables, will be happy if you make your new jar available to him. br, Bruno ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
