Hi, You have caught me right. My design in not optimal. But I am restricted by the following I am not creating the Document object from the scratch(So I am not using document.add()). I will get a input pdf stream which is generated after filling the acrobat FDF field and then flattening it. I then copy this pdf stream using writer.getImportedPage() to the new Document object so that I can bring the contents into Document object. I need Document object because I want to say document.newPage when table gets bigger than the page.
I need to continue from here and add some dynamic table which can have any number of rows. As you pointed out, I can now start a new page based on the return value from writeSelectedRows.

Maybe you could pass the result of writer.getVerticalPosition to a page event. I don't know if this is good advice or bad advice, as the question is very vague. > Also how to know if the page is getting to an end while writing a > big table? Your questions give the impression that your design isn't really optimal. Maybe you should look at your problem from a different angle. I think changing your design will solve most of your questions. br, Bruno This message contains information that may be privileged or confidential and is the property of the Capgemini Group.
