If the table spans across pages, the cells appear to be cut off in the middle.

Thank you for creating a great library. However, while testing table creation, I discovered that in the case of long tables, the cells appear to be cut off in the middle when the page breaks. I would like to inquire if there is a way to resolve this issue.

Here is a simple test code to reproduce the issue.

        val landscapeA4 = PDRectangle(PDRectangle.A4.height, PDRectangle.A4.width)
        val pageSet = PLPageSet(landscapeA4).setMargin(40f)

        val r10 = FontSpec(PreloadFont.REGULAR, 10f)
        val r14b = FontSpec(PreloadFont.REGULAR, 10f)
        val aPadding = PaddingSpec(2f)

        val aTable = PLTable.createWithEvenlySizedColumns(4)
        aTable.setHeaderRowCount(1)
        aTable.setMargin(10f)

        // Add header row
        val aHeaderRow = aTable.addAndReturnRow(
            PLTableCell(PLText("No", r14b).setPadding(aPadding)),
            PLTableCell(PLText("B", r14b).setPadding(aPadding)),
            PLTableCell(PLText("C", r14b).setPadding(aPadding)),
            PLTableCell(PLText("Page Break", r14b).setPadding(aPadding)),
        )
        aHeaderRow.setFillColor(PLColor.GRAY)

        val row = listOf("column B", "column C", "1234567890\npage break test page break test page break test page break test page break test page break test page break test page break test")
        for (i in 0..32) {
            aTable.addRow(
                PLTableCell(PLText(i.toString(), r10).setPadding(aPadding)),
                PLTableCell(PLText(row[0], r10).setPadding(aPadding)),
                PLTableCell(PLText(row[1], r10).setPadding(aPadding)),
                PLTableCell(PLText(row[2], r10).setPadding(aPadding)),
            )
        }

        EPLTableGridType.FULL.applyGridToTable(aTable, BorderStyleSpec(PLColor.BLACK, 1f))
        pageSet.addElement(aTable)

        val pageLayout = PageLayoutPDF()
        pageLayout.addPageSet(pageSet)

        pageLayout.renderTo(File("page-break-sample.pdf"))

You can see that cell 7 is cut off in the middle as the page breaks.

The result I want is for row 7 to be written on the next page.
I would greatly appreciate it if you could provide a solution.

Hi @walter-chequer, thanks for reaching out to me.
Indeed there should be an easy way to remedy this issue.
By adding .setVertSplittable (false) to a PLText you can avoid the page break. See also #30

@phax
The method you suggested works well.
Thank you for the quick response. :)
