Hi all,

In order to stop adding rows (actually Cells) to a table, I want to
retrieve the height of the PdfPTable. But although there are quite a few
methods, none of them seems to work properly.

 PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(5);
 table.setHorizontalAlignment(PdfPTable.ALIGN_LEFT);
 table.setWidthPercentage(100.0f);
 table.setWidths(new int[]{2, 2, 2, 2, 1});
 for(int i=0; i<10; i++) {
   for(int j=0; j<4; j++) {
     table.addCell(new Phrase(someString[i][j], font)); // Strings
of different lengths
   }
   Image image = Image.getInstance(imageURL);
   image.scaleAbsoluteHeight(16);
   image.scaleAbsoluteWidth(16);
   PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell(image);
   cell.setPadding(1.0f);
   cell.setHorizontalAlignment(Cell.ALIGN_LEFT);
   cell.setVerticalAlignment(Cell.ALIGN_TOP);
   table.addCell(cell);
   System.out.println(table.getRow(i).calculateHeights()); // always 4.0
   System.out.println(table.getRow(i).getMaxHeights()); // always 4.0
 }
 table.calculateHeightsFast();
 System.out.println(table.getTotalHeight()); // outputs 0.0

Have you any idea, how I can get the real height of a PdfPCell / PdfPTable?

Thanks in advance,
Lars
