I know about the formattedHeight. There is no printPageHeight property.
There is a printTextHeight but it's just a compatibility property.
However, crux of the problem is that within my group there are multiple
fields and other groups. Fields may span one or more page heights. I
need to position the fields and/or groups such that each of the fields
matches up exactly on the page boundary to avoid clipping a line of
text.
