Description Der Spunk CLA 2007-08-02 19:14:17 EDT 
Build ID: I20070625-1500

The PDF emitter tries to put all columns on the same page which will cause too slim columns and line wrapping when there are too many columns for one page, even with landscape orientation.

The PDF emitter should therefore support horizontal page breaks. The user should be able to provide hints to the emitter by selecting columns where a horizontal page break may occur. Of course this will also bring up the requirement to be able to select one or more columns that should be repeated on every page.

Comment 9 erlich CLA 2008-09-08 15:05:58 EDT 
from the editor.. what should i do to force a page break on a certain column?
Comment 10 Gang Liu CLA 2008-09-08 22:12:53 EDT 
Choose a column on editor, set page-break-before:always or page-break-after: always on page-break property sheet.
Comment 11 Rima Kanguri CLA 2008-09-10 21:03:32 EDT 
To set page break on a column follow the steps below
- select the cross tab report item
- in property editor view, select the 'column area' tab
- In the page break category, click on 'Add' to define a column page break
Comment 12 erlich CLA 2008-09-24 10:19:02 EDT 
But it doesn't have an option to set the page break interval? is there anyway to set interval for columns? or it only does support page break for every column??
Comment 13 Rima Kanguri CLA 2008-09-25 17:56:34 EDT 
Yes we do plan to support interval setting in 2.5. Let me find the related bugzilla entry
