Repeat Cell Content on new Page after Page-Break #289
When the table splits due to a page-break, I would like to repeat the cell contents of the last cell (on the old page) in the new cell on the next page.
Example
Logic with iText
With the iText library this logic is fairly easy to implement because they provide an event which is getting called when the table drawing logic performs a table-split. That means, i can subscribe to the "afterSplitTable" table-event and do my logic (see also iText: afterSplitTable ).
Question
Do you have any idea / tip for me how i can achive this behaviour with OpenPDF? Or is implementing such a table-split-event already planned in the OpenPDF library?

Problem
I have a table that goes over several pages.
When the table splits due to a page-break, I would like to repeat the cell contents of the last cell (on the old page) in the new cell on the next page.
