You can't have precise positioniting and automatic table splitting. It's not
a technical question but rather a question of good sense. Where would the
table split? Where would the table be placed in the next page?
You'll have to split the table yourself. You can have a look to
PdfDocument.addPTable() and modify it to suit your positioning.

writeSelectedRows() and page splitting

Hello, I would like to use writeSelectedRows() with my PdfPTable, so that I can specify exactly where I want to place the table on the page. However, when I do and the table is too big to fit on that page, it is not automatically split at the end of the page. If I use document.add(table), the table is automatically split, but I lose the ability to specify the exact location of the table. What is the best way to be able to specify an table insertion point and get automatic table splitting at the end of a page.

Re: how to stack images

You can't do it without absolute position. Image alignment sort of works in most cases but it's not customizable. The best alternative is to place the images at absolute positions and use a non rectangular ColumnText to flow the text around the images.

Colored background behind text

Hi; I need to draw a colored background, lines on that background, and then text over all of it. Do I just give iText the commands in the layer order I want? thanks - dave
