RE: [iText-questions] PdfPTable absolute positioning mixed with non-absolute document.add()s
Have you tried just seeting the page margins?
I solved similar situation with preformating this table before the page
starts. It is possible to find out its height and this hight was used to
reduce "printable" area for usual document.add() methods.
In your case: info.getTotalHeight()
My sequence:
-->prepare table
-->getTotalHeight()
-->change page margins
-->write to page
-->onPageEnd: write table and (if wanted) change margins of next page
But may be it is not suitable for your purpose.

Subject: [iText-questions] PdfPTable absolute positioning mixed with
non-absolute document.add()s
I'm working with iText to create some invoices. I have a header that
appears at the top of every page. This header is written at absolute
coordinates using PdfPTable's writeSelectedRows() method in response to a
page started event. My problem is that at this point, the 'cursor' is
still pointing to the top of the page, so if I do a document.add(new
Phrase("Foo")) at this point, Foo is written on top of my header.
Is it possible to reposition the cursor (my own term, I don't know what
the real word for this is, if there is one at all)? I've tried resetting
the margins, but that didn't seem to work.
Code example: (I believe this is all that is relevent)
info.writeSelectedRows(0, -1, left, top, cb);
document.add(new Phrase("Foo")); // Foo on top of my header
