Are there best practices for handling page breaks in TCPDF when dealing with tables of unknown content size in PHP?

When dealing with tables of unknown content size in TCPDF, it is important to handle page breaks properly to ensure that the table is displayed correctly across multiple pages. One common approach is to calculate the remaining space on the current page before adding a new row to the table. If there is not enough space, a page break should be inserted before adding the row to the table. 

// Initialize TCPDF
$pdf = new TCPDF();

// Add a new page
$pdf->AddPage();

// Set table content
$data = array(
    array('1', 'John Doe', 'Engineer'),
    array('2', 'Jane Smith', 'Designer'),
    // Add more rows as needed
);

// Set table column widths
$col_widths = array(20, 60, 40);

// Set table header
$header = array('ID', 'Name', 'Role');

// Set table style
$style = array(
    'border' => 1,
    'padding' => 2,
    'header' => true
);

// Add table to PDF
$pdf->WriteHTML($pdf->drawTable($data, $col_widths, $header, $style));

// Output PDF
$pdf->Output('example.pdf', 'I');
