        doc.open();          doc.add(new paragraph(new chunk("header searches" + chunk.newline + chunk.newline, fb)));          pdfptable tablesearches = new pdfptable(3);         pdfpcell cellsearches = new pdfpcell();          cellsearches.backgroundcolor = basecolor.white;          cellsearches.phrase = new phrase("facility id");         tablesearches.addcell(cellsearches);         cellsearches.phrase = new phrase("facility");         tablesearches.addcell(cellsearches);         cellsearches.phrase = new phrase("phone number");         tablesearches.addcell(cellsearches);          //loop through records in facilities collection , add row         foreach (var m in facilitylist)         {             cellsearches.backgroundcolor = basecolor.light_gray;              cellsearches.phrase = new phrase(m.id.tostring());             tablesearches.addcell(cellsearches);              cellsearches.phrase = new phrase(m.facility);             tablesearches.addcell(cellsearches);              cellsearches.phrase = new phrase(m.phone);             tablesearches.addcell(cellsearches);         }          doc.add(tablesearches);          //page 2? searches          doc.newpage();          doc.add(new paragraph(new chunk("header searches" + chunk.newline + chunk.newline, fb)));          pdfptable tableam = new pdfptable(3);         pdfpcell cellam = new pdfpcell();          cellam.backgroundcolor = basecolor.white;          cellam.phrase = new phrase("facility id");         tableam.addcell(cellam);         cellam.phrase = new phrase("facility");         tableam.addcell(cellam);         cellam.phrase = new phrase("phone number");         tableam.addcell(cellam);          //loop through records , add row         foreach (var m in facilitylist)         {             cellam.backgroundcolor = basecolor.cyan;             cellam.phrase = new phrase(m.id.tostring());             tableam.addcell(cellam);              cellam.phrase = new phrase(m.facility);             tableam.addcell(cellam);              cellam.phrase = new phrase(m.phone);             tableam.addcell(cellam);         }          doc.add(tableam);          doc.close();
