cfdocument and page-break-inside: avoid
I'm curious if anyone has found a way to prevent content blocks converted to PDF with cfdocument from breaking across pages (e.g. a div with content that could be a couple of lines or 30 lines, but I'd like to keep it all together on the same page). I've tried applying the page-break-inside: avoid CSS element but it appears to have no effect. Research on the topic has not wielded anything practical. Some suggest encapsulating the content with cfsavecontent and then counting line breaks to estimate the element height and further, keep track of how much has been output since the beginning or last page break to determine if a manual page break should be inserted. I'd like to find a more elegant solution using existing CSS elements if possible.

Re: cfdocument and page-break-inside: avoid
The following will work.
create the following style:
.PB { page-break-after: always; margin-top : 1px; margin-bottom : 1px; }
Then anywhere you want the page to break put a paragraph tag w/ a class of PB.

@Mark and Kelly: Thanks, but that's not what I'm trying to do. Some
of the elements I'm outputting are small and I do not want a page
break before or after every one of them. I need the PDF engine to put
as many on a page as possible, but if there isn't room on the current
page to fit the next one, it needs to insert a break and put that next
element on the next page (which could then be followed by ten small
elements which can also go on that page before another break is
needed; forcing breaks before or after each of them would be overkill
and add a lot of extra/wasteful pages to the report). The
page-break-within CSS element is part of the CSS3 standard which is
supposed to do exactly what I need, but cfdocument is ignoring it,
unfortunately. Any other thoughts on how to accomplish that
functionality? Thanks for jumping into the discussion.
