cell.setPadding(5);
        cell.setPaddingTop(-3);
        cell.setPaddingBottom(4);

Looks a little like conflicting values to me...

Not sure about your cutting problem without running an example myself, but why 
are you using minus values for the padding?  Surely you would only want zero 
for padding (i.e none) ? (You can use minus figures to align things, but that's 
very specific case like moving/aligning images within cells.

Subject: [iText-questions] PdfPTable padding and spacing



Hey,

First of all, sorry for the double post but I do need the advice and I do
realize that the initial thread got started off on the wrong foot.

I made a unit test to show how I encounter the problem.
Note that the whole document is cut of exactly at the end of the table, so
the table should always fit on one page, however it doesn't.

If I remove the line cell.setPaddingTop(-3) the cutting problem goes away,
but then the space between the cells is way too large.
I do feel something isn't exactly as it should be because the size of the
table is known and hence it should always fit on one page regardless of
padding.  But I might be mistaken of course.


    @Test
    public void testSizeBug() throws DocumentException,
FileNotFoundException {
        PdfPTable main = new PdfPTable(1);
        main.setTotalWidth(350f);
        main.setSpacingAfter(0);
        main.setSpacingBefore(0);

        main.setLockedWidth(true);
        for(int i=0; i < 15; i++){
            Paragraph title = new Paragraph(new Phrase(new Chunk("titel
"+i,FontFactory.getFont(BaseFont.TIMES_ROMAN))));
            Paragraph par = new Paragraph(new Phrase(new Chunk("cell "+i,
FontFactory.getFont(BaseFont.TIMES_ROMAN))));
            par.setSpacingAfter(-1.5f);
            PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell();
            cell.addElement(title);
            cell.addElement(par);
            Paragraph par2 = new Paragraph(new Phrase(new Chunk("nextline"
,FontFactory.getFont(BaseFont.TIMES_ROMAN))));
            par2.setSpacingAfter(-1.2f);
            applyDefaultCellProps(cell);
            cell.addElement(par2);
            main.addCell(cell);
        }

        Document document = new Document(new Rectangle(350f,
main.getTotalHeight())); //!!
        File file = new File("c:/tmp/sizeTest.pdf");
        FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(file);
        PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, fos);
        document.setMargins(0f,0f,0f,0f);   //eerst, daarna doc openen
        document.open();

        document.add(main);
        document.close();
        writer.close();


    }

    private void applyDefaultCellProps(PdfPCell cell){
        cell.setBorder(PdfPCell.NO_BORDER);
        cell.enableBorderSide(Rectangle.LEFT);
        cell.enableBorderSide(Rectangle.RIGHT);
        cell.setPadding(5);
        cell.setPaddingTop(-3);
        cell.setPaddingBottom(4);
    }
