Hi there, I have a web page that I am converting to PDF that has multiple sections, each of which has its own heading and then a body of content. I need the headings to appear on each page where the sections span more than one page, so I wrapped the head and body sections in a table, with the heading part in the thead and the content in the tbody. The problem I am having is that when a section spans more than one page, it will start on a new page. The headings are correctly repeated for each page, but I need the section to start right after the previous one (which is what happens if the following section doesn't span more than a page). I tried using some of the page-break- options but didn't have any luck. I've attached some sample code below, if you print this, section 2 will start on a new page because its content spans more than a page. I need it to start right after section 1. The aspx file:

Hi,
You must already have some "page-break-inside:avoid" somewhere in your code. When you have "page-break-inside:avoid" on an element and that element is too long to fit in the current page, it will start a new page.
Thanks!

Hi,
I don't have any "page-break-inside:avoid" in the code above, but section 2 always starts on a new page if it spans more than a page. I need it to start underneath section 1 on the first page.
Thanks

Hi,
Try to add a dummy row before your big row (thus between the header row and the big row). Our converter will automatically try to avoid an empty header row (an empty header row at the bottom of the first page, then a repeated header row on the next page) so that the header row is always followed by at least one content row. It does this by locking the header row and the first content row. When the first content row is too big, it would shift the whole block to the next page. Adding a dummy row before your first real content row should avoid this problem.
Thanks!
