MultiColumnText next column or next page problem

[raymond moesker <raymond_moesker (at) yahoo.com>]

Some background info:

I?m trying to add articles to a PDF file using the MultiColumnText class. This works fine.

My problem is when an article starts at the almost end of a column it has to move to the next column or next page if it is the second column.

 

What I do:

I?m opening a Document.(I?m using a PageEvent for adding the footer and header) Then I create a MultiColumnText. This MultiColumnText gets filled with articles and after it's filled it's added to the Document.

 

My problems:

1.

When I?m using the mct.nextColumn() function within the MultiColumnText it only works for the first page.

 

2.

My first thought was to use a onParagraphEnd(PageEvent) to calculate the end of a Paragraph in a MultiColumnText. This only seems to work at the Document level.

 

 

Does someone know a solution for my problem?(when a article starts at the almost end of a column it has to move to the next column or next page if it is the second column.)

 

Thanks Ray
