Hi

I am using MigraDoc to generate tables and all is working fine. This is a simple structure of my report.

======================================
Header - Contains a Table with three rows having 2 cellls
======================================

Simple Text
Invoice Table (Can contain from one to 100 rows)
Simple Text

The above is my pdf format. The header as designed comes in all pages. The issue is the Table. Say if i have table which 30 rows its displaying it in the first page and the rest of the text in the next page. But if the table content itself spawns to more than one page then its having only the column on the first page and rest of the content on the second page. And moreover the table is being drawn on top of the header. I am not sure how to resolve this issue. Can you help me ?

In general tables can spread accross several pages (but each row must fit on one page as rows cannot spread).

It seems you're using a table that only has 2 rows (but the second row contains 55 lines of text).
It should work using a new row for each line of text. Border properties can be set for each cell to make it look like the table you currently have.

Thanks for your reply and sorry for the confusion. That's not two rows and 55 lines of text, its actually 55 rows having only a single line of text. I have hidden the borders to make it look one single set.

I remember setting the heading format to true. Don't really remember now, would have to look at the code. Sorry i coudn't bring the code today, had a hectic day at office yesterday, was not able to do anything else. I will see if i can get the code for you tomorow. Btw just a note here. i am using one of you previous version release, not sure which one it is. I downloaded the latest one and tried doing a compile with SharpDevelop. It spat errors like hell, so i reverted back to the previous version. I downloaded that version 1 month before september. I will try get more details tomorrow or this weekend. That is the only part that i am left with in the application.

P.s. Would it be possible for you guys to create a package (SetupFile) for PDFSharp + MigraDocLite. I think it would benefit people who would not wanna compile and those are missing some specific libraries like AcroLib and so on. If i can be of any help, please tell me what to do i will create that package and send you.

It seems i was wrong all the way, and you where correct. I was infact adding 55 lines of text in a single row that's why it was carrying over the pages. Sorry for the confusion again Embarassed

. I modified and this is what i have come up with. I think the error is obvious here. The library is not adding text after header. I ran one of the samples(Invoice). I added more products to make sure it goes more than 2 pages and then i saw the error their also. The image which was positioned as a header was being over written by the invoice bill content. I am not sure how to proceed after this. Here is the link

This thread was very useful to me, the following code wrote by Thomas Hövel was the solution to my table problem:
