I'm almost there, thank you Paolo for your continued assistance.
I either need to know that the next row I am going to write will not fit
and create a new PdfPTable, flush out the written content from PdfPTable
so the unwritten rows remain, or create a new PdfPTable with the
unwritten rows from the previous page.
After adding a row, I can use PdfPTable.getTotalHeight() to find my
position on the page after a row was added. However, what if the last
added column is past the end of the bottom page margin?
table.addCell(...); // Fill up the row with content
if ( table.getTotalHeight > sizeOfPageWithMargins ) {
// Now I have written one too many rows to fit on a page
table.deleteLastRow();
table.writeSelectedRows(...); // write all the rows in
the table
table = new PdfPTable(...);
// Now I need to re-add the last row of data again...
table.addCell(...);
}
Is there some other way to do this without having to manually re-add the
last column? Something like
table.addCell(...);
if ( table.getTotalHeight > sizeOfPageWithMargins ) {
table.writeSelectedRows(0, table.size() - 1, ...); //
write all but the last row
// Create a new PdfPTable containing only the 'overflow'
row from the last table
table = new PdfPTable(table, table.size());
// Don't need to re-add the table
}
Or am I missing some other concept that makes this solution easier?
Thank you - please let me know if I can clarify.

You have some examples at itextpdf.sf.net.
The general idea is:
PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(..);
table.setTotalWidth(doc.right() - doc.left());
// add the rows
You can get the individual row height, just write some rows, etc.
