Multitable loop doesn't align properly and creates unusual gaps or overlaps each other about jspdf-autotable HOT 11 CLOSED

I would get pageNumber of both tables, table1:2 > table2:1 then I would get finalY of table1 (120) (because it spans more pages) and draw table3 giving startY using this.

Edit: don't forget to set the current doc page when drawing table3 to be the starting page + pageNumber of the longest table.

Check out this example with a similar layout of what you want :

We've got six units, and for each unit, we're generating tables for both deposits and withdrawals. The thing is, these tables can vary in length. Sometimes, one might be longer than the other.

To keep things neat, I'm trying to align these tables properly. My plan is to figure out which table (deposits or withdrawals) is longer, and then start the next table from where the longest one ends.

But here's the snag: when one of the tables stretches onto a new page, the coordinates go wonky. This messes up my calculations, especially when I'm trying to find the length of the longest table.

So, I'm looking for a way to handle this gracefully. I need to adjust the table positions dynamically, considering page breaks and making sure everything stays in place, regardless of how long the tables get.

Any ideas on how we can tackle this?

I didn't review your code, but you would need to utilize pageNumber & finalY properties of the drawn tables to determine the longest one and draw the next table with startY accordingly.

thanks but I am struck on this since many days.
I think this package owners dont reply to queries anymore.
I will try some other package.

I'm a collaborator in this project, you haven't shown an actual bug in the package, rather, you're unable to achieve a certain layout which is a question better suited for StackOverflow. our time is limited and we spend it trying to improve the package.

Closing this for now, please feel free to reopen if you discover an actual bug and are able to reproduce it in a codepen.

I don't see any bugs there, you have pageNumber, finalY and startY which gives you the ability to figure out the pages spanned by the table, and the last Y position of the table on the last page, using this you could easily set the next table startY, if any of these don't work as expected or give a wrong value please feel free to report a specific bug, I might add an example demonstrating this when I have the time.

I used this and was able to achieve the desired layout.
Thanks alot.. I was struck on this for 2 weeks.
Finally decided to make a post and it helped me. <3

I have attached a desired output file.
Can I contribute and add an example of multitable with loop spanning multiple pages example?
Or you can add it so others can benefit too?

I'm glad to hear that.
We are currently working on v4 which includes breaking changes so no use of adding new examples at the moment, it could be added after v4 is released.
