What are the best practices for ensuring that table content in TCPDF-generated PDFs fits within specified margins and does not exceed page boundaries?

When generating PDFs with TCPDF that include tables, it is important to ensure that the table content fits within specified margins and does not exceed page boundaries. To achieve this, you can set the width of the table to match the available space within the margins, adjust cell padding and spacing, and enable automatic page breaking if necessary. 

// Set margins
$pdf->SetMargins(10, 10, 10);

// Set width of the table to fit within margins
$tableWidth = $pdf->GetPageWidth() - $pdf->lMargin - $pdf->rMargin;
$pdf->SetWidths(array($tableWidth));

// Add table content
$pdf->AddPage();
$pdf->SetFont('Arial', '', 12);
$pdf->SetFillColor(200, 200, 200);
$pdf->Cell($tableWidth, 10, 'Header', 1, 1, 'C', 1);
$pdf->Row(array('Column 1', 'Column 2', 'Column 3'));

// Enable automatic page breaking
$pdf->SetAutoPageBreak(TRUE, 10);
