Hey, I was not familiar with this method. I gave it a try, and it didn't work, which is what I was expecting since I do work with other cells that span pages.
Here's a screen cap of the first page of my example PDF: http://old.nabble.com/file/p27689378/pdfspan.png pdfspan.png The orange cells are designed to span across pages. The charts should never split across multiple pages. You can't see it, but on the 2nd page there is a 2nd chart (because there was not enough space in that bottom left square on the first page to render it.) The problem is the corresponding orange cell doesn't move to the 2nd page along with the chart. I think setting this cell to span multiple pages causes issues when extending the last row, unless I'm using it incorrectly. What I was looking to do is attach to each orange cell an event that checks the remaining vertical space allotted to it. If it is less than the height of one of the charts (which are always of fixed height in my application,) then I want to pad the orange cell with just enough white space to bump the next orange cell to the next page. Alternatively, if I could attach a pre-render event (if there were one,) I could pad the top of the cell or pre-pend it with an empty cell to force it to start rendering on the next page. Hopefully I'm just using the setExtendLastRow method incorrectly or there's another approach that would work.
