Oh, this is a problem of a completely different nature. You are defining a table with a width that is fixed: the width of each cell is known before the table is added. Then you wish to split that table and fit it onto two pages. By default, iText will NOT change the fixed width of the cells, and iText will NOT cut cells in two parts. Before I can tell you how to proceed, I need to know what you expect. You now have a table of which part 1 is smaller than the available width and part 2 is larger. What do you expect? (1) part 1 stretches and part 2 shrinks horizontally. This will make your content look ugly, unless you keep the aspect ratio and stretch/shrink the cell vertically too. But in that case, the rows of part 1 will not fit the rows of part 2 anymore. You can achieve all this with iText, but I hope that's not what you want. (2) all dimensions remain fixed, but you split the table in two, regardless of the fact if a cell is split in two. This might be a good choice if you plan on stitching both parts together afterwards, but if you want to keep the table as is, it will look ugly. (3) you want to redistribute the widths of the cells in part 1, so that they fit. This seems like the best solution to me, but if that's what you want, why are you asking this question? YOU can decide what dimensions the cells have; why choose dimensions that don't fit the constraints??? If you want (1) or (2), I can give you a solution. If you want (3), you already have the solution: define the absolute widths of the cells based on the available space. br, Bruno ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
