¡Hola!

There is no need nor a reason to find out current position using PDF 
functions.

If you are outputting lines after lines, you need to keep track of the
y-position by yourself. The following simple and ugly piece of code should 
demostrate the logic:

define(MAX_Y_POS, 300);
define(ROW_HEIGHT, 4);
$y_pos = 0;
foreach ($many_rows as $row) {
    if ($y_pos > MAX_Y_POS) {
        makePageChange();
        $y_pos = 0;
    }; // if
    $y_pos += ROW_HEIGHT;

    printRow($row);
}; // foreach


If you use pdflib, you might want to take a look at sopdf.php - it's 
available from dataxi.sourceforge.net. Get the latest version of 
solib.tar.gz - that includes sopdf.php
