Page breaks in PDF library

Hi,
How can i provide a page break using PDF library? Whether Indesign CS4 does support page breaks for PDF generation. If the not the API, whether this is possible by creating a Indesign template with page breaks for the data to fit in? Also whether Adobe PDF supports page breaks? Please shed some light into this.
Thanks,
Rithu

I Just checked through a few old documents. It appears that numbers used to export PDF files with page breaks and the last update scrapped this in favour of redicusously large one page files.
Is it really that hard to give an option as to how to export a file?

How to create a page break in PDF output

Hi there
Does anyone know how to create a page break in the PDF output when using the EXPORT TO PDF command?
I can create a page break using the page-break-after/before HTML stylesheet command, but this is not "interpreted" when the PDF is generated, and I am required to print each table in my web template on a new page.
Please ... been searching for ages for a solution to this and can't find anything.
Cheers,
Andrew

XHTML code for a page break in PDF file exported from WAD

Hi All
I'm new to WAD and I have created a web template with several tables and charts
I'm exporting these to a PDF document but I need to put page breaks in as I want to put a table and a chart on each page
I'm not sure how to do this and was wondering if adding it to the XHTML code direct would do the trick but as I don't know XHTML code I'm not sure.
Any help would be appreciated
thanks in advance
Sandra

Hi Cook,
In my project I had same requirment. But I didn't find any solution for this.
I tried to implement the same using XHTML and java script aslo. but these are the functionality which we are using for web page formating not the not the formating of external output like PDF and Excel.
So if you find any solution, then please share with me also.
Thank You

Page Break in PDF export

Hi all,
I have a developed a Web template for export to PDF file and I would like to know if there is a way to add page breaks so when I export my original WEB temp though the Export command to PDF I would be able to preak the pages where I want to.
Regards,
Theodore

Hi,
SAP standard Webtemplate Export does not support Pagebreaks.
Also CSS-Styles Atributes PAGE-BREAK-BEFORE: Always will not work because SAP is ingnoring custom HTML. Only way is to consider 3rd Party Tools which will export the HTML of the executed Webtemplate to PDF or other formats.
In Report Designer you will be able to include Page breaks on Group level changes of BI data.

Preventing page breaks in PDF on converted web pages

I've been happy with the speed and linking that is available when I convert web pages into pdf's. However, the pdf versions often break the pages at inappropriate places or even will break an image so that part appears on one page and the rest appears on the following page. How can I can control where the pages will break in the pdf version of the web page?

Mike is correct in the breaking stakes but you can change the
destination paper size, orientation and scaling inside the 'Create PDF
from Web Site' settings ...

Page Break when converting to PDF

I have created my forms online and deleted a bit of content to reduce their size. I also adjusted the page breaks in pdf/print view mode. When I download the PDF, I find excess blank pages in the PDF and the page breaks I set are not where I put them. Any thoughts on how I can fix this without having to rebuild the online survey from scratch?

Hi,
It would be easier to help resolve this issue if I had access to your form design. You can share it with me in one of two ways:
1. Add me ([email protected]) as a collaborator. To do this follow steps 1 and 2 described in the following FAQ:
http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-1424
2. Export the form and email the design template (.fcdt file) to me - [email protected]
Thanks,

How to create 200 individual pdfs instead of 1 pdf with 200 pages? (Page breaks?)

Hi,
Is there a way to create multiple reports using SQL Reporting Services (2008 R2) using one dataset, instead of one long report.
For example, running a batch of customer statements or bills etc.
At the moment, our report runs well but creates one pdf with 200 pages, instead of 200 individual pdfs with each page being for a different customer.
I was thinking there might be a page break setting to create separate outputs but haven't been able to find anything.
Any advice appreciated
Thanks!
Lea

Hi Lea,
If we want to export the report to the multiple PDF files based on each page, I suggest you can use data-driven subscription which provides a way to use dynamic subscription data that is retrieved from an external data source at run time. For more detail
information about data-driven subscription, please refer to the following document:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms159150(v=sql.110).aspx
Besides, we can also use the SQL Server Reporting Services web services to render reports to specify folders. For more details, please see the similar thread:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/ecef8799-a0a5-42dd-97f8-bc269a7daa87/ssrs-multiple-pdf-files-for-a-single-report-agent-commision
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Problem with page breaks in IE when printing to PDF

Hey,
I am having formatting issues with IE when printing to pdf, I have a dynamically created report which has page breaks at the end of each page, if I open this report(report is in html) in firefox and goto print the formatting is correct, if I open the same report in IE and print the report 80% of the pagebreaks are in tact, 20% are ignored which just makes the report look rubbish, my question is,( I know it not directly related to the reader but was unsure on which forum to post) is there a different css or formatting I should use to make IE play ball.
Cheers
Tom.
the style I use to insert pagebreak is
<code>
.breakhere {page-break-before: always;}
code I then use to implement it is.
<TABLE BORDER=0 WIDTH=100% CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 CLASS="breakhere">
</code>

You may use a forum for IE.

Page Break - Not Exporting to PDF Correctly (with Page View)

I am struggling maintaining page breaks upon export of the Form to a PDF even though the Form is set as "Page View". Is there a way to correct this either on the FormsCentral side or acrobat side. It is extremely frustrating not to have page breaks where designed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Adrian

Have you checked the Window>Utilities>Background Tasks
CS5 now exports PDFs in the Background and thus you will have a 0kb file until the task completes.
If the Background Task isn't moving then make sure you're fully up-to-date with the software using Help>Updates
If you're still having a problem then try inserting the indesign file into a Book file - and then use the Book Panel sub menu to Export Book to PDF.
This does not use the Background Task and might output the PDF for you.

Custom page breaks with "@media print" in CSS when creating a PDF from HTML?

Searching for threads containing the text string "@media print" gave me zero hits, so I guess I'm either the smartest guy in the entire universe for coming up with this idea or the dumbest for the same reason since I must be missing something that everyone else knows by heart without even asking.
Namely, I would like to make use of the CSS "@media print" wrapper when I'm converting an HTML file to PDF through Adobe Acrobat - as opposed to printing an HTML page through a web browser using the Adobe PDF virtual printer device. These are, as I understand it, two equivalent though not entirely identical (as they make use of and rely on somewhat different settings) procedures that both convert an HTML file into a PDF document.
Here's my CSS code:
@media print { span.pagebreak {page-break-before: always} }
And here's my HTML code invoking the page break:
<span class="pagebreak"></span>
Bottom line, this works great when I print the HTML file through my web browser, using the Adobe PDF printer device. However, when converting the HTML file through Adobe Acrobat, this print-related setting is ignored. Obviously, printing and converting a file isn't technically identical but as I said, it's for virtually all intents and purposes the same procedure.
I'm guessing that someone at the Adobe HQ must have thought through this issue during a brainstorming session and come up with a simple yet elegant solution to cater for the needs of those who want to use custom page breaks when converting their HTML documents directly through Adobe Acrobat. Maybe a simple setting somewhere or a custom CSS tag like "@media adobe", or something similar?

I've never heard of anyone succeeding in this.

HTML to PDF conversion - problems with page-breaks and bookmarks

Hello,
My company is currently considering updating your software (from Acrobat 9 Pro to Acrobat XI Pro) and I’ve been assigned to research its features and make sure that it is a right fit for our goals. Basically we want to automate the whole process as much as possible and we want to create PDF directly from HTML. We’re providing a lot of content in HTML and we need a fast way to transfer it into PDF format. There are however some guidelines:
We want page-breaks in is this kind of documents, and thus - your app needs to be able to interpret HTML and put them where we want to;
We need to have bookmarks in there. Converter must be able to make them based on headlines from HTML source or afterwards, directly in PDF by using some auto-bookmarks feature;
There has to be table of content generated, based on HTML Link Tags if possible. Here’s sample of TOC structure that we have currently:
<A NAME="redirect">sample_text</A>
<A HREF="#redirect">sample_text</A>
Of course we can modify HTML in any way you want us to. The important thing for us is to make it work in PDF without the need to make a lot of manual changes after conversion.
I’ve been messing with Acrobat 9 Pro and reading some documentation that you have provided and I’m convinced that point 3 is not a problem. I’m aware that Acrobat 9 Pro is not having any difficulties with links in document and they work fine in PDF format that has been created from HTML.
Page-breaks on the other hand are bothering me. Your app is apparently ignoring every HTML code that the Internet is advising me to use to force page-break where I want. Honestly - I’ve tested like ten ways to make them and not even one was working. That’s why I’m asking for your help.
Another problematic subject for me is the bookmarks creation. I know that they are not a problem if I’m doing DOC to PDF conversion. Then I’m able to decide what header should be used as a curtain level of bookmarks and everything is working great at the end. However - with direct HTML to PDF conversion - I really don’t know how to generate bookmarks that are based on the source of the input document. Is there any way to make fully working 2 level bookmark tree in this case? Here’s an example of the structure we want at the end:
header1
header2
header2
header1
header1
header2
Could you please help me in finding the solutions? Just like I’ve mentioned - we can modify input HTML in any way, but in the end we would like to achieve our goals as quickly as possible.
Please excuse my English.
I am looking forward to your response,
Lucas

Frankly - we would like to avoid using Word. We are using it currently but there are long-term plans of improving whole conversion process, eliminate any mid-steps and automate as much as possible even though conversion is not going to be done unattended on a server. Thank you for your response, but I hope that maybe someone else would have any idea?

How does Adobe Forms Central base their automated page breaks when distributing to a PDF form?

OR
How can I define those page breaks before Adobe Forms Central created the PDF. I have attempted to "insert" a page break within the form; however, when distributing this form to be created as a PDF, the PDF is still placing the auto-generated page break wherever it wants.
Is it possible to move these auto generated breaks once the PDF form is created?
Thank you!

Did you add the page breaks while in Web View or Page View? FormsCentral uses "web view" as the default, but uses the "page view" to show where the PDF will have page breaks. Go to the menu bar on the top right, select "view," and then select "page view." You should be able to see page breaks here, and move them where you'd like them. It won't affect what people see on the web, just in the PDF.

How do I match the printed pdf page breaks with the page breaks from the online form?

The online form is setup to be 4-5 separate pages...each page going to a different person/group when it is printed in a pdf. However, when the form is printed, it prints out all the blanks and the forms are off by about a half page.
Is there any way to not print the blank spaces (I have several boxes hidden based on choices of the user), and to make the printed pdf honor the online page breaks?

Hi;
When you are viewing the "Design" while authoring your form there is a "View" setting that you can access from the "View" menu along the top right, or from the dropdown at the bottom right corner, if you change from "Web View" to "Page View" you can add page breaks there that will affect the PDF.
Page View is an authoring view to design for PDF where Web View is an authoring View to design for web/browser/HTML forms. You can use both so that your form looks good in both web and PDF. Some features have to be added/edited in Web View because they are not supported in PDF such as Attatchments and Skip/Page logic, those are not available to add/edit in Page View. The Page Breaks added in Web View are not used in the PDF, in Page View "Implicit page breaks" are added automatically based on the size of the page in PDF and you can add "Explicit page breaks" using the form field toolbar as you did in Web View (which will only be used in the PDF).
When you ask if there is any way not to print the "blank spaces" you are referring to the questions that had remained hidden based on skip logic right? At this time the entire form is saved/printed to PDF, there is not an option to omit those hidden fields.
I hope that I understood your issue correctly, let me know if I can help further.
Thanks,
Josh

Page break problems converting HTML to PDF

hello,
i'm using Acrobat Pro 7... yes I know I'll upgrade soon.
I have a bunch of HTML files that are interlinked, and I want to create one big PDF from them.
I'm going in through Windows explorer, selecting all the files, right-click, and click on "combine in adobe acrobat"
it works very well, to combine them all.
the one problem I'm having is page breaks. there are page breaks in the middle of tables.
I have seen online a few references to using CSS style and something like this:
TABLE { PAGE-BREAK-INSIDE: avoid; }
but it seems to have no affect when I generate the PDF.
do I need a different tool to make this work? Does Acro 8 or 9 have it? should it work with 7?
thanks

This is primarily a HTML feature as I understand it. Acrobat simply provides a PDF just like any other printer and the HTML would have to be set to add page breaks on print as you suggest. This would be the same case as if you printed to paper. I am not sure it is possible, but that is what I would look for, not Acrobat options.
