Is there a way to create fixed height container?

[Vamp808]

Lets say we have a container "ex. cell" that has specific dimension, and we want to put a text that is bigger than the cell dimension ,
normally, putting the bigger text inside cell will make the cell height to expand until it contains all the text,
in (iTextSharp) if I set this cell height as (Fixed Height), only part of the text (that the cell height can handle) will show, the remaining text will not show , and the cell height will not expand , see the image:

I tried (MaxHeight) without success, it throws exception.

so how can I achieve this in QuestPdf?

You should be able to achieve what you want by using a combination of MaxHeight and StopPaging. You may also need WrapAnywhere for results to show the last partial word ("hav"), but that will only work correctly if are rendering a single line of text; with 2 lines or more, I believe WrapAnywhere will cause words to break in lines 1 and 2 as well, which is probably not something you want.

There is a discussion around this topic in #742, and from what I gather future versions (after 2024.3.0) may offer better support for text truncation.

Indeed, the 2024.3.0-rc2 release allows you to set the maximum number of lines that should be visible. If text requires more space, it is truncated with the ellipsis symbol.
