Why? The sequence is:
- create a new instance of ColumnText
- load it with a paragraph
- simulate
- create a new instance of ColumnText
- load it with the same paragraph
- write it in the same column or the next
- repeat until no more paragraphs

Thanks Pablo,
By doing so, do you have therefore to write in another PDF file to use
this
new instance of Columntext?
That's all...
