                    (accessed 15 March 2021). These figures drastically contrast with those reported by Lipper as of
                    October 2016, whereby â€œthe gross AuM of all funds that invest primarily in loan participations
                        was approximately USD 218 billonâ€? as mentioned in IOSCOâ€™s final report; IOSCO

                According to EU recommendation 2003/361, 2 factors determine whether a business is an SME: (i) the
                    number of employees and (ii) either turnover or balance sheet total. A medium-sized company has up
                    to 250 employees, a turnover of up to â‚¬50 million or a balance sheet total of up to â‚¬43 million.
                    A small-sized company has up to 50 employees & a turnover or balance sheet total of up to â‚¬10
                    million. A micro-company has up to 10 employees & a turnover or balance sheet total of up to
                    â‚¬2 million

                For instance, one of the driving forces that has led European jurisdictions to consider permitting
                    funds to originate loans was the adoption of the EU regulation on European long-term investment
                    funds allowing funds the origination of loans under certain conditions. As a result, many
                    jurisdictions in Europe now allow loan originations by funds

                Even if the eligibility for participation in the COSME LGF programme was extended to Loan

But content gets cropped everytime when I run HtmlConverter.convertToPdf() with the html content as a string getting this as result:

However when I remove last tr element, I get expected result:

What do you think is causing this? Is it because table element has too many childs?

--- Question Update ----

So after reading the comment from @CptCave I tried changing the html to this format using word-break css property that's supposed to work in this case:

                (accessed on 13 April 2021)

However I got this as result:

The solution was to add inline css

So to accomplish I changed document structure with jsoup before converting it:
Document document = Jsoup.parse(html);
document.getElementsByTag("table").forEach(table -> {
   table.attr("style", "word-wrap: break-word");
});

As far as I can see your issue is caused by the lack of word wrapping. Your last table row has a long uninterrupted string: the link with the UTM-tags. If you'd remove the utm-tags from it, the cropping would not persist.

The more durable solution is to implement word wrapping with CSS with the parameter overflow-wrap set to break-word.

There is a full example of this in the iText KB: https://kb.itextpdf.com/home/it7kb/examples/pdfhtml-support-for-overflow-wrap-word-break-css-properties
