How to generate pagebreaks when converting from HTML to PDF

$

Hi,

 

I am new to PDFGenerator, but after looking for quite a while I did not seem to find a question, so I decided to post - and maybe help other people who have the same issue:

 

How do I a control page breaks when I transform an HTML document to PDF using PDFGenerator's htmlFileToPDF method.

 

I am trying to use page-break-after - but PDF Generator still creates a single page.

 

But It could be that this is actually a symptom of a wider problem: We have a nice HTML report, which uses media print in the CSS to create a printable version, which adds page breaks, and headers and footers on the printable page in the browser - How do I tell PDFGenerator, that I want it to render the HTML as media print ?

 

Here is the minimal HTML make I could come up with, which shows my approach for the page breaks:

 

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"

"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

<html lang="en">

  <head>

    <style type="text/css">

.pagebreak{

    page-break-after:always;

}

    </style>

    <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">

    <title>

      2 page document

    </title>

  </head>

  <body>

    <p class="pagebreak">

      This is the first page (with p class="pagebreak" )

    </p>

    <p>

      This is the second page

    </p>

  </body>

</html>

 

Any suggestions are welcome

 

Thanks

 

Thomas
