Forgot to mention I changed the calculateHeightsFast() by removing Fast, and added doc.setMargins(0,0,0,0) as tests The result was 1 page (with the table stretched though I think, I didn't check if that was the right table width), Thought that was sufficient enough. But result.setLockedWidth(true); result.getTotalHeight(); is a better solution and will work for all tables imo ! > > I just ran the code, and I noticed two errors: > > 1.
