Bruno,

Cheers for getting back to me, I changed to the PdfPTable and alot of the
options were gone, but it sovled the issue. Is there anyway to set the
cellpadding/defaultcellborder etc like in the table object?


There's a method getDefaultCell()
Do something like getDefaultCell().setBorder(Rectangle.TOP);
and you change the default border:

Hi all,

I need some help sorting out a formatting issue when creating an pdf.

Basically i'm creating a table, setting all the settings, then from a database 
going through each result and creating the cells to display the data.


What I am doing is looping through the results, and each time adding 4 new 
cells to the table, which works perfectly fine, but if the results continue 
onto a new page, the first 2 rows or sets of cells overlap each other.



Are you using iText 1.3.6?
If not, please do an upgrade and tell us if the problem persists.
If you can't upgrade: please don't use class Table, use PdfPTable instead.
br,
Bruno
