I'm using ItextSharp to create a PDF with content from my database. This content is visualized as a table. For this table, I define a footer that sticks to the bottom of every page except for the last page because there might not be enough content to "push" the footer down. How can I make sure that my footer stays at the bottom of every page no matter what?

Please take a look at the source code of PdfPTable, more specifically at the SetExtendLastRow() method:
/** * When set the last row on every page will be extended to fill * all the remaining space to the bottom boundary; except maybe the * final row. * * @param extendLastRows true to extend the last row on each page; * false otherwise * @param extendFinalRow false if you don't want to extend * the final row of the complete table * @since iText 5.0.0 */ public void SetExtendLastRow(bool extendLastRows, bool extendFinalRow) { extendLastRow[0] = extendLastRows; extendLastRow[1] = extendFinalRow; }
If you want the last row to extend to the bottom of the last page, you need to set extendFinalRow to true (the default for extendLastRows and extendFinalRow is false).
