Using the latest build of eo.pdf (78)
- have a web page that has content that is wider than my selected paper size.
- have the HtmlToPdfOptions AutoFitX and AutoFitY both set to none.
- call HtmlToPdf.ConvertUrl on my page

What i see is that if the page is taller than the paper size, i get multiple pages.
But, when the page is wider than the paper it gets cut off. I can set AutoFitX to ScaleToFit and then it will fit it, but i'm looking for a mode that does not scale the output, but rather prints it on multiple pages.

(perhaps not ideal, but better than cutting it off, and legit in some situations maybe).

It that possible?

This is not possible as the current paging mechanism is implemented. The paging mechanism only works vertically. So there is no way to split the content off horizontally into multiple pages. Sorry about it!

well, at least i'm not crazy.
that does seem like something people might want to do though.
is that something that might get added in the future, or is it never going to happen?

Hi,

Yes. There is a need for this feature. I do not see it happening in the near future but I definitely think there is a chance that we might implement it.

Thanks!
