Excellent. That's what I needed to know. Thanks for the help. I'll adapt my example and repost so others can benefit.

The rule is: - don't change margins in PdfDocument (in a page event), change them in Document (not in a page event). - if you change them in Document, do so before triggering the newPage() method. - the new margins will only be "active" on the next page. I don't have the time to adapt, compile and execute your example, but this should be avoided: public void onEndPage(PdfWriter writer, Document document) { doc.setMargins(LEFT, RIGHT, TOP, BIG_BOTTOM); } I see that you tried to work around the fact that document is actually a PdfDocument instance. This is inventive (it surprised me), but I don't think it's a good idea. Operations on the Document object trigger page events, and you're triggering operations on the Document inside page events. I wouldn't bet on the outcome of such a workaround. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ Got Input? Slashdot Needs You. Take our quick survey online.
