I am using data from an application to create an expense report pdf, so the length of the resulting document will vary based upon the data. There are grids containing expense details that can span multiple pages, and occasionally the text get duplicated at the top of a new page. I've include a zip file which includes a screenshot of the malformed output when this happens (ScreenshotOfBug.png), a pdf example of how we want the pdf structured (ExampleOfDesiredExpenseReportOutput.pdf), and C# class with code that will cause the bug to be visible (Program.cs).

There is a for loop that generates expense detail rows, and the bug first appears when that loop runs three times. If you vary the number of loops though you will see the issue appear sporadically throughout the final pdf output.

Please advise whether there is a bug, or if there are settings in the document, grids, etc. that will resolve this issue.

Thanks

Hello,

Any chance you know whether this bug will be addressed? If not, can you please suggest another way to present the data in the desired format that will not be affected by this bug.

I just wanted to check in to see if there's any estimate for when a fix might be available. We're approaching a release date for our product where we want to provide expense report pdfs designed like the sample I included, and if this bug is not going to be fixed I will need to completely rethink my approach to how Spire can provide our desired functionality/appearance. We recently renewed our Spire PDF license to fix another bug that was causing us problems, only to find this new bug after upgrading to the latest version.

Thank you

Hello, thank you for following up on this issue. The issue I reported here with text being written over other text has been resolved. However, I believe that a prior bug has been reintroduced as a result. I'm not sure that this is the exact same, but I believe that SPIREPDF-3355 fixed in version 6.7.8 last year is again a problem. I have attached an example of what I am seeing when a grid spans multiple pages. If a given row in the grid will not fit in the remaining space on a page, that entire row is moved to the next page leaving a lot of blank whitespace on the initial page where the row should have started.
