Hi,

I need create PDF Form on the fly(I don't know how long the form will be). 

I put the whole form into a big PdfPTable, now I have page break problem.
After doing research I know I can't create new page inside PdfPTable. So I
need calculate the height of PdfPtable, once the PdfPTable fill a page,
close it, open a new page, create another PdfPtable. This is my idea. Please
let me know if you have better way to do it.

So I play the example RegisterForm1.java, try to calculate the height of the
PdfPTable, but I always got tableheight = 0.0, why? This is my code. Please
help me.
**********************************************
PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(2);
PdfPCell cell;
TextField field;
table.getDefaultCell().setPadding(5f);
table.calculateHeightsFast(); // I add this line

table.addCell("Your name:");
cell = new PdfPCell();
cell.setFixedHeight(100f); // I add this line
cell.setMinimumHeight(50f); // I add this line
field = new TextField(writer, new Rectangle(0, 0), "name");
field.setFontSize(12);
cell.setCellEvent(new RegisterForm1(parent, field.getTextField(), 1));
table.addCell(cell);
System.out.println("height after your name="+table.getTotalHeight()); // why
always height=0.0
**********************************************

I really need help. Thanks in advance.

Sarah
