IIRC, there's already an "end of page" event. Did that not work for
you?

Subject: Re: [iText-questions] Choice of "method"
I had a similar requirement and PdfPTable worked just fine for
me except for the fact that I was not able to detect tables breaking
across pages thus unable to write warnings like Ctnd on next page and
ctnd from prev page in the new page.
To resolve the issue I locally patched PdfPTable to notify
listeners of the table split event which helped me display split
warnings in the page. I was thinking of submitting the patch to
sourceforge. However, it may not be acceptable because it will break
backward compatibility. Do you guys also think that it is important to
know about table split event?
Thanks
