Re: PDF Page Break after a table - Any solution ?

Hussein_Osseily · 02-22-2024 01:43 AM

Hello Everyone,

As i am aware, a page break under a table is not an option in google docs, there was an add ons "Doc Table" before which am not able to find anymore.

I have placed the <<End>> of the expression at the very end of the page, but it still randomly cut .

What am trying to acheive is to have every ref and it's table on a single page, the next ref should be on a new page even if there is space on the previous page.

My template is as above:
Page Size A4
Margins are
0.5 top and bottom
1 on left and right
Custom margin is turned off in the appsheet side.

Any help would be appreciated

Hi @Hussein_Osseily,

I had similar issues that I found very challenging to overcome.

My solution was to switch to HTML templates and employ page-break-before: always;

Here's an example of what could be used in an email body template or an attachment template or both.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<style>
.page-break-before {
page-break-before: always;
}
</style>
</head>

<body>
<div class="page-break-before">
<table>
</table>
</div>
</body>
</html>

Hope that helps... 😉

Hi, You can add a emtpty table an set a minimun row height, then set the borders 0px thickness to make it invisible. Other way that I use is put all my template inside a invisible (or not) table with te height of the page

I hope it helps you

Hello, is there an answer to this question without using html?

luisandres

I already gave an answer without html, what do you want to do?

A late response but it might be helpful for others.

Make your headers in a 1 row table.

insert your <<Start>> statement under that headings table.

insert a 1 row table for field values

press Ctrl + Enter (to insert page break)

insert your <<End>> statement after the page break
