I will likely do a full page with all full Columns, count the column lines (getLinesWritten) while simulating, then determine the percentage of page coverage for my actual text simulating again. The do a layout based on the percentage of page text I have, and write it out for real.
Is that twisted? Is there other API calls I should be looking at?
Bottom line: I want to know how much of the page is covered with text, so I can then take the appropriate actions of filling in the page with other artifacts (scaling and placing images, titles, quotes, etc.). I saw some discussion on getting the height of a block, but I don't see that in the API, can someone enlighten me; and not certain how block relates to ColumnText.
Thanks,
Pete Gordon

I'm always amazed at the effort people do to use Document.add(), creating the most twisted code I've seen just to avoid to keep track at the y position when placing ColumnText and PdfPTable at absolute positions.
