Hi everyone, I’m encountering an issue where I can’t seem to prevent a complex footer from appearing only on the last page of my document.
Here’s the situation:

I’m using a table in the page content.
The last row of that table vertically extends to fill the remaining space of the page.
Even though the table content should fill the entire page, the footer still appears, which I want to avoid.

I’ve already checked discussion #479 and tried several suggested fixes, but unfortunately none of them worked for me.

If anyone has faced a similar situation or knows a workaround to conditionally render the footer only on the last page, I’d really appreciate the help!
Thanks in advance

Are you able to share a simplified version of the code you are using to attempt this?

sure. here's my page content:

private void ComposeContent(QuestPDF.Infrastructure.IContainer container)
{

container.PaddingTop(5).Column(column =>
{
    column.Item().Border(0.5f).BorderColor(Colors.Black).CornerRadius(10).MinHeight(260).Table(table =>
    {
        table.ColumnsDefinition(columns =>
        {
            columns.RelativeColumn(0.2f);
            columns.RelativeColumn(0.65f);
            columns.RelativeColumn(0.1f);
            columns.RelativeColumn(0.2f);
            columns.RelativeColumn(0.2f);
            columns.RelativeColumn(0.12f);
        });
        table.ExtendLastCellsToTableBottom();
        foreach (var item in _items)
        {
            if (_items[_items.Count() - 1] == item)
            {
                table.Cell().AlignMiddle().ExtendVertical().Element(CellStyle).Text(item.Code).FontSize(8);
                table.Cell().ExtendVertical().Element(CellStyle).Text(item.Description).FontSize(8);
                table.Cell().ExtendVertical().Element(CellStyle).Text(item.Qte).FontSize(8);
                table.Cell().ExtendVertical().Element(CellStyle).Text(item.Puht).FontSize(8);
                table.Cell().ExtendVertical().Element(CellStyle).Text(item.Ptht).FontSize(8);
                table.Cell().ExtendVertical().Element(CellStyle).Text(item.Tva).FontSize(8);
            }
            else
            {
                table.Cell().AlignMiddle().Element(CellStyle).Text(item.Code).FontSize(8);
                table.Cell().Element(CellStyle).Text(item.Description).FontSize(8);
                table.Cell().Element(CellStyle).Text(item.Qte).FontSize(8);
                table.Cell().Element(CellStyle).Text(item.Puht).FontSize(8);
                table.Cell().Element(CellStyle).Text(item.Ptht).FontSize(8);
                table.Cell().Element(CellStyle).Text(item.Tva).FontSize(8);
            }
        }
        ;
    });
});

}

and here's my footer, this footer is default because i'm using it just to test, and after getting it right as i want i'll implement my real footer:

public DynamicComponentComposeResult Compose(DynamicContext context)
{
    var content = context.CreateElement(element =>
    {
        if (context.PageNumber == context.TotalPages)
        {
            element.Column(footerColumn =>
            {
                footerColumn.Item().Table(totalsTable =>
                {
                    totalsTable.ColumnsDefinition(columns =>
                    {
                        columns.RelativeColumn();
                        columns.RelativeColumn();
                    });

                    totalsTable.Cell().ColumnSpan(2).AlignRight().Text("Totals Summary").SemiBold();

                    totalsTable.Cell().Text("Subtotal:");
                    totalsTable.Cell().AlignRight().Text("$10,500.00");

                    totalsTable.Cell().Text("VAT (20%):");
                    totalsTable.Cell().AlignRight().Text("$2,100.00");

                    totalsTable.Cell().BorderTop(1).PaddingTop(5).Text("Grand Total:");
                    totalsTable.Cell().BorderTop(1).PaddingTop(5).AlignRight().Text("$12,600.00");
                });
                footerColumn.Item().Table(totalsTable =>
                {
                    totalsTable.ColumnsDefinition(columns =>
                    {
                        columns.RelativeColumn();
                        columns.RelativeColumn();
                    });

                    totalsTable.Cell().ColumnSpan(2).AlignRight().Text("Totals Summary").SemiBold();

                    totalsTable.Cell().Text("Subtotal:");
                    totalsTable.Cell().AlignRight().Text("$10,500.00");

                    totalsTable.Cell().Text("VAT (20%):");
                    totalsTable.Cell().AlignRight().Text("$2,100.00");

                    totalsTable.Cell().BorderTop(1).PaddingTop(5).Text("Grand Total:");
                    totalsTable.Cell().BorderTop(1).PaddingTop(5).AlignRight().Text("$12,600.00");
                }); footerColumn.Item().Table(totalsTable =>
                {
                    totalsTable.ColumnsDefinition(columns =>
                    {
                        columns.RelativeColumn();
                        columns.RelativeColumn();
                    });

                    totalsTable.Cell().ColumnSpan(2).AlignRight().Text("Totals Summary").SemiBold();

                    totalsTable.Cell().Text("Subtotal:");
                    totalsTable.Cell().AlignRight().Text("$10,500.00");

                    totalsTable.Cell().Text("VAT (20%):");
                    totalsTable.Cell().AlignRight().Text("$2,100.00");

                    totalsTable.Cell().BorderTop(1).PaddingTop(5).Text("Grand Total:");
                    totalsTable.Cell().BorderTop(1).PaddingTop(5).AlignRight().Text("$12,600.00");
                });
            });
        }
        else
        {
            element
                .Text(x =>
                {
                    x.CurrentPageNumber();
                    x.Span(" of ");
                    x.TotalPages();
                });
        }
    });

    return new DynamicComponentComposeResult
    {
        Content = content,
        HasMoreContent = false
    };
}

as i told you it still have some content, and i think i should share also this with you because i'm using dynamic for my footer:

page.Header().Element(ComposeHeader);
page.Content().Element(ComposeContent);
page.Footer().Dynamic(new FooterWithUniqueLastPage());

hope this helps you :)

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. In this case, I think the easiest approach would be to put both the table and final footer into a single column in the content. You may find you need to remove the ExtendVertical() and similar handling in the table to achieve the desired result.

For example:

page.Header().Element(ComposeHeader);
page.Content()
    .Column(x =>
    {
        x.Item().Element(ComposeContent);
        x.Item().Element(ComposeFooter);
    });
