Multi-page table not rendering correctly

Aspose.PDF Product Family
#1

Please see attached sample project with two output pdf files that illustrate how the table renders incorrectly on subsequent pages. I have a production report that essentially uses the same code. This report report worked fine until a week ago when I upgraded to version 7.7 and 7.8 behaves wrong too. Unfortunately I don’t recall which older version was used before the upgrade took place.


In the -200.pdf example you can see on page 2 (even page) that the header row is printed after several data rows have already printed. On page 3 (odd page) the table should have printed several rows higher, there shouldn’t be as much white space between the header and the table.

In the -400.pdf page 2 (even page) is correct but page 3 (odd page) has white space gaps between the header row and the first data row on this page.

This even/odd behavior is what I experience on every even/odd page of my production report.

sake of correction, I have logged it in our issue tracking system as PDFNEWNET-35096. We

of a correction. <o:p></o:p>

We apologize for your inconvenience

I see the status shows FIXED but I don’t see the issue listed in the release log for version 7.9.0. Will this fix be included in the next version?
