I want to create 5 unique tables (pulling from 5 different datasets) on each
page, each of which may span over multiple pages.
What I would like to do is add rows to the first table until no more will
fit on current page (table height + current row height exceeds page
height), add rows to the second table until no more can fit on this same
page, add rows to third table, etc.
Once I have filled each table to the point where no more will fit on current
page, I write each of the 5 tables (table.writeSelectedRows), do a
newpage, create 5 new tables, and start the process of adding rows over
again until I have exhausted my datasets.
My problem is that I am not able to get the table or row height until I
write the table to the document. Each table is only one column wide, and
the column is a fixed width (not a percentage) so it seems that I should be
able to get the height before I actually write the rows.
I don't think I can use document.add(table), which would take care of page
breaks for me, because once the first table creates a newpage then I don't
think I can return to the prior page to add content for the second table,
but perhaps I'm wrong?
Perhaps I should be using columns rather than tables, not sure it would make
a difference?
Any suggestions? Is there a way to figure out the height of the row BEFORE
I add it to the table?
Thanks!
