It probably doesn't work. The recommended way is to put the text inside a 
PdfPTable with a single column and no padding and with split rows false.

Subject: [iText-questions] Keeping Text Together


To Whom It May Concern:



I am currently developing a web application that uses Spring Framework
and iText to take in values (through a series of forms) and generate a
PDF letter from them.



The length of the body of my letter is dynamic, but I want the closing
of my letter to always stay together on one page.  I have a Java class
with the following code in it:



String x = firstName + " " + lastName + "\n" + title;



Paragraph closing = new Paragraph("Sincerely,\n\n\n\n" + x + "\nEndeca
Technologies, Inc.");

closing.setKeepTogether(true);

document.add(closing);



Simply put:  it's not working.  As the document changes based on user
input, the paragraph often splits to two pages, putting "Sincerely," at
the end of one page and stranding the rest of the text on the following
page.  I even printed the value of "closing.getKeepTogether()" in the
PDF to double-check, and it does in fact say "true."



I am not having any other problems with my app currently, so I don't
think there are any configuration problems that might be behind this.  I
looked through the documentation and the mailing list archives, and I
could not find any examples or related problems.  I've seen your "How
deep is blue?" FAQ, so I hate to ask such a vague question, but...why
doesn't it work?  Really, I am looking for any suggestions you might
have or for you to tell me that it's actually just a bug you're fixing
for the next version.



Thanks.
