Perhaps the error text (of the PDF creator) could mention the length problem expressly. I was trying to limit the table width to make it fit the page width, but when I understand you correctly, long tables with unbreakable stuff in it cause the problems. Can it be of help, if page authors use the css page break auto property as explained here : http://www.w3schools.com/css/pr_print_pagebi.asp <style> @media print { table {page-break-inside:avoid} } </style> Or, that a collaborative page author _could_ intentionally place helpers like <!--NEW PAGE MAY COME HERE--> to assist the PDF renderer ti find places to "break" the page and to continue on a new page. Or, that the rendering switches into a "panic" mode and uses unlimited page size which is then post-rendered to make the unlimited page size fit to single pages. I am willing to help to find a solution for such problems. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
