This is quite acceptable when your dealing with large tables however if you have a table of say 2 records and a title appears on the bottom of the previous page.  What I need is to work out that I'm already as the bottom of the current page, force a new page then let things work as usual - dynamically.   #### just an aside With other reporting systems in another life I could always access the report canvas interrogate the current cursor and zap take appropriate action. Looking under the hood of iText this doesn't seem to be possible :-(  I hope I missed something! ####     Kind Regards, George Shafik       ----- Original Message ----- From: Paulo Soares To: George Shafik ; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 14, 2004 7:15 PM Subject: RE: [iText-questions] how do I know the physical location on a given document Try it with a nested table.   Best Regards, Paulo Soares From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of George Shafik Sent: Tuesday, September 14, 2004 12:49 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [iText-questions] how do I know the physical location on a given document Hi All,   I need to determine where I'm physically in a document before forcing a new page.  Currently I have 2 tables - one with the title of the table and the other containing the data. Unfortunately the title sometimes appears on the bottom of the previous page. What would be great if I could determine that I'm already at the bottom of the current document force a new page that way the table title and table data appear on the same page.   Cheers, George Shafik
