c# - text not wrapping in table cell using iText5 for .NET -

i have function generates text report. list of document text database , create pdf report. pdf report format should follows

 logo(top left).........some static text company (top right)  [header information is...................................... .........................different each document in list]    [.....................document text.............................]  date(bottom left)              page count(bottom right) 

the document text may run more 1 page , in case header information document repeats. and, if document text runs second page , terminates in mid page start next document on new page. here attempt:

public static void printdocument(list<pdfdata> lst, ref memorystream memorystream) {         itextsharp.text.font basefontbig = new     itextsharp.text.font(itextsharp.text.font.fontfamily.helvetica, 12f, itextsharp.text.font.bold, itextsharp.text.basecolor.black);          itextsharp.text.document document = new itextsharp.text.document(pagesize.letter, 40, 25, 30, 30);         pdfevents e = new pdfevents();         pdfwriter pw = pdfwriter.getinstance(document, memorystream);         pw.pageevent = e;         document.open();          (int = 0; < lst.count; i++)         {             pdfptable maintable = new pdfptable(2);             pdfptable outertable = new pdfptable(4);             pdfptable contenttable = new pdfptable(1);              maintable.keeptogether = true;              outertable.widthpercentage = 50;             outertable.keeptogether = false;             outertable.totalwidth = 550f;             float[] sgltblhdwidths = new float[4];             sgltblhdwidths[0] = 5f;             sgltblhdwidths[1] = 15f;             sgltblhdwidths[2] = 5f;             sgltblhdwidths[3] = 5f;             outertable.setwidths(sgltblhdwidths);             outertable.lockedwidth = true;             contenttable.lockedwidth = true;             outertable.keeptogether = true;              contenttable.widthpercentage = 90;             contenttable.keeptogether = false;             contenttable.totalwidth = 800f;             contenttable.spacingbefore = 30f;              string documentidentifier = lst[i].patient;             string documentstatus =lst[i].documentstatus;                stringbuilder sb = new stringbuilder();              sb.append(lst[i].documenttext);                itextsharp.text.paragraph documentstatusp = new itextsharp.text.paragraph(documentstatus, new itextsharp.text.font(itextsharp.text.font.fontfamily.courier, 12, itextsharp.text.font.bold, itextsharp.text.basecolor.black));             itextsharp.text.paragraph patient = new itextsharp.text.paragraph(documentidentifier, new itextsharp.text.font(itextsharp.text.font.fontfamily.courier, 12, itextsharp.text.font.bold, itextsharp.text.basecolor.black));             itextsharp.text.paragraph content = new itextsharp.text.paragraph(sb.tostring(), new itextsharp.text.font(itextsharp.text.font.fontfamily.courier, 10));             itextsharp.text.paragraph empty = new itextsharp.text.paragraph("", new itextsharp.text.font(itextsharp.text.font.fontfamily.courier, 12));                #region content               pdfpcell contentcell = new pdfpcell(content);              contentcell.border =1;              contentcell.verticalalignment = element.align_top;              contentcell.horizontalalignment = element.align_left;               contenttable.addcell(contentcell);             #endregion                pdfpcell firstheader = new pdfpcell(empty);             firstheader.border = 0;             firstheader.fixedheight = 17f;             outertable.addcell(firstheader);                           pdfpcell secondheader = new pdfpcell(patient);             secondheader.border = 0;             secondheader.fixedheight = 17f;             secondheader.verticalalignment = 2;             outertable.addcell(secondheader);              pdfpcell thirdheader = new pdfpcell(documentstatusp);             thirdheader.border = 0;             thirdheader.fixedheight = 17f;             thirdheader.horizontalalignment = 1;             thirdheader.verticalalignment = 2;             outertable.addcell(thirdheader);              pdfpcell forthheader = new pdfpcell(empty);             forthheader.border = 0;             forthheader.fixedheight = 17f;             outertable.addcell(forthheader);               pdfpcell outertblcell = new pdfpcell(outertable);             outertblcell.border = 0;              pdfpcell contenttblcell = new pdfpcell(contenttable);             contenttblcell.border = 0;               maintable.addcell(outertblcell);             maintable.addcell(contenttblcell);              document.add(maintable);             if (i != lst.count - 1)                 document.newpage();         }          document.close();      }  

this displayed report , required values except in content table when document text has long lines runs out of margins of page , cant see it. there way better achieve this? thanks!

i start fixing margins of page so:

const float leftmargin = 34; const float rightmargin = 34; const float topmargin = 134; const float bottommargin = 36;  var document = new document(pagesize.a4, leftmargin, rightmargin, topmargin, bottommargin); 

i fix width of table. in case document on portrait a4 page, know max width of page , can subtract margins. build table so:

private pdfptable createtable() {     const float tablewidth = 527;      var table = new pdfptable(1)     {         horizontalalignment = element.align_left,         totalwidth = tablewidth,         lockedwidth = true,         splitlate = true,         splitrows = true       };      return table; }
