Hi,

I'm attempting to use iText for pre-printed insurance forms.  I've had much
success using the xml api for simple tabular reports on other things in the
past, but these pre-printed forms will probably require much more attention
to detail.

The form is a standard letter size with elements sprawled about the page.
The precision of the printed elements is critical.

I guess my question is what is the best approach to tackle this type of
problem.

Looking at the API it looks like PdfTable will work fine.  The majority of
the cells will be empty, acting simply as spacers.  You can set a fixed
height and width to these cells, correct?

I'm assuming this will require a lot of trial and error (and a ton of wasted
paper).  Does anyone have suggestions on how to measure the page out?  Maybe
some specific examples that will be helpful?

Thanks and advance.
Eric
