Put the table inside a ColumnText and the split will be taken care. Paulo

Hello, The PDFs that I am generating have large header and footers (consisting of multiple PdfPTables). The code to render them is included in onEndPage. Between the header and footer, I need to include a PdfPTable which runs to several pages. I have used writeSelectedRows() to display the rows of the table carefully, so that they don't run over the footer. The height of each row may vary depending on the size of the data fetched from the database. This works fine when the rows have almost the same heights. But a lot of empty space is seen before the footer, when the height of the last row being displayed on a page is greater than the available height, and it has to move to the next page. I would like to split a row for the following reasons: 1. To get rid of the extra empty space before the footer. 2. In case the height of a single row itself is greater than the available height between the header and footer. I have tried to use row=table.getRow(i); PdfPRow splitRow=row.splitRow(table,i,availaleHt); and splitRow.writeCells(0, -1, d.leftMargin(), yPos, canvases); where, table is the PdfPTable that is being displayed between the header and footer i iterates through each each row of the PdfPTable (till table.size()) availableHt is the height between the last rendered row and footer. This approach doesn't seem to work. Please guide me on how to split a row (multiple times if required). Also, as per the documentation, splitRow returns the remainder row. 1. How do we capture and print the first half of the row? 2. And writeCells takes a PdfContentByte[] argument (canvases). How to generate canvases?
