ITextSharp page break creates an unwanted empty page

Background

I've a document that I build up throu various steps.

In one of these steps I add content to a Document from a chapter structure I've built containing the content.

This part in particular is very simple. It simply adds the content to the document.

Sometimes my structure specifies there should be a page break, and thus document.NewPage(); gets executed. This works, usually.

We are using ITextSharp version 5.3.2.0. ( A few month old or so)

The problem

When document.NewPage() get's executed and is very close to the end of the document or perhaps just entered a new page I am guessing, I get an empty page with the rest of my content being added on the following page.

Only having the Document to work with at this point I can not seem to find a way how to determine if document.NewPage() should be skipped or not to work around this bug or issue.

Thanks

This can be caused by three things:

  1. You're using a very old version of iTextSharp. If so, please upgrade to a more recent version of iTextSharp. We don't fix obsolete versions.
  2. You're using page events and contrary to what is advised in the documentation, you're adding content in the onStartPage() method.
  3. You're using writer.setPageEmpty(false); which is kind of asking iText to consider an empty page as not being empty.

In all other cases, the newPage() method is ignored if you're currently on a page that doesn't have any content.
