So the problem is reduced to B and C.

Work with ColumnText. Let's say, you have a bottom
margin BOTTOM, and a top margin TOP.
First add the disclaimer (C) to a ColumnText and
add the column to the document in simulation mode
(anywhere on the page, just make sure you define
the width of the column correctly).
Ask the column how much space it takes vertically,
for instance H. Now add the disclaimer for real,
also with ColumnText, and make sure the Y-coordinates
are something like this: top = BOTTOM + H, bottom = BOTTOM.
Now create a column for the content (D), but make
sure you define the first rectangle doesn't go beyond
BOTTOM + H. On the subsequent pages define the column
so that it fits between the top en bottom margins.
I still don't understand why you are asking this
question. I don't see the problem.

Bruno
