A multi-page invoice table
Twelve lines is one page and thirty is two — and the second has to look exactly like the first, or the invoice comes back from the customer's accounts department.
A page and a stamp inside table cells
A supplier sends a pack — a delivery note, a packing list, a certificate, a weighbridge ticket — and somebody has to say, page by page, what was found on each one. The summary they write is usually a screenshot of every page, or the page retyped. Both mean the summary and the paper can disagree, and the day they do it is the summary that is believed.
Here each page goes on the sheet as it arrived: the whole page, reduced to the size of a cell, not redrawn and not retyped. Beside it stands the stamp it was given. The stamp is drawn once and put on every row that needs it, so the file carries it once however many rows show it.
What this example shows
- A page out of another PDF, shown whole inside a table cell.
- A stamp drawn once and put on as many rows as ask for it.
- Both brought down to the cell they are given, never stretched.
The code that writes it, in full
Whole programs, hundreds of lines long, for whoever writes your software. The third is not a program at all: it is a plain list of what the page has to say, which the service is sent.

A cell's margin, border, inner space and fill
What a cell can do with its own box: the margin, the border, the space inside, the background.
Coloured cell borders and fills
A cell's four sides in four different colours, and coloured fills told apart from coloured borders.
A self-paginating table
A long table handed over whole, deciding for itself where the pages break: its heading on top of every page, its footnote under every page, its grey grounds stated once for the whole table, and a note you draw under each page at the exact place the table reports.
Cells merged down the rows
A specification sheet whose cells are merged down the rows: each group named once beside all of its rows, with one note beside them; the thin lines stop at those cells' edges, and a note too long for the rows it covers makes them grow.
Columns measured from their cells
One parts list twice: four columns sharing the width equally, then the reference, the quantity and the price each as wide as their own widest cell and the description given everything they leave.
