I am trying to add a table to the document.
This table has 2 columns and 2 rows (code shown below).

Assuming that table starts on Page-1 and if text in second
row and second column is really huge, I have following problems.

1) Second row of the table starts on Page-2, even though first
row hardly occupies any Page-1 height
2) Second row which starts on a new page, does not fit in one page,
so I expected it to continue on Page-3, but instead table gets
truncated on Page-2, without complete text and table border on
bottom row.

Is there way to get around both these problems?

Table table = new Table();
Column column = table.AddColumn(Unit.FromCentimeter(2));
column.Format.Alignment = ParagraphAlignment.Center;
column = table.AddColumn(Unit.FromCentimeter(5));

Cell cell;
// Add first Row
Row row = table.AddRow();
row.Shading.Color = Colors.PaleGoldenrod;
cell = row.Cells[0];
cell.AddParagraph("Itemus");
cell = row.Cells[1];
cell.AddParagraph("Descriptum");

// Add second Row
row = table.AddRow();
cell = row.Cells[0];
cell.AddParagraph("2");
cell = row.Cells[1];
cell.AddParagraph(HugeAmoutOfText);
table.SetEdge(0, 0, 2, 2, Edge.Box, BorderStyle.Single, 1, Colors.Black);
document.LastSection.Add(table);

Regards, Yoegsh

It is by design that table cells will not break to the following page.

I have no idea for a workaround if you need PDF directly.
Your table might work if you create an RTF file.

I tried rendering same
MigraDoc.DocumentObjectModel.Document with
MigraDoc.RtfRendering.RtfDocumentRenderer
but unfortunately results are identical.
