I am creating a PDF using vb.net an EO.pdf. The PDF contains a three-column table with an unknown number of rows and user-defined data in each cell. The User may also choose landscape or portrait. I need to be able to force a page break when there is no vertical space left for the next row. How can I determine the height of the table after each row has been inserted, in order to trigger a test to throw a new page ?? d'oh!

Hi,

You can put this CSS rule in your page and the converter will do that for you:

Code: CSS

Copy

tr { page-break-inside: avoid; }

This will instruct the converter to try not to break a table row into different pages. As a result, if the remaining space on the current page is not enough to fit the entire row, that row will be pushed to the next page.

You can find more information about page breaking here:

Thanks!
