MS Office Forum / General MS InfoPath Questions / August 2007Infopath 2007 Export to PDF ignores page breaks?
Hi, Just getting to the end of a big enterprise deployment of InfoPath and the client wants PDF output (not too much to ask). However, the export to PDF functionality seems to completely ignore page breaks. Has any one else seen that? Or does it work for anyone else? Workaround? I can't print through Word2007 since it isn't installed on these machines (nor is it likely to be when I have to explain that InfoPath can't do this :-( ). TIA for any help. Thanks. That's probably because the export to PDF functionality prints on a "per view" basis, that is, if there is a page break on the current view, it will still print one page for the entire current view. I do not know of many workarounds. If you want total flexibility for printing to PDF, including the amount of pages printed in one PDF document, you will have to use a third-party component to print your forms to PDF. But this will be alot of work to code, not to mention more work if you want your forms to appear exactly as they do in InfoPath. --- S.Y.M.

How hard would it have been to do page breaks? :-(. It's interesting, the developer docs on the fixed format output (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa338206.aspx) talk about all of the special cases in it for doing page breaks with InfoPath.

I know... but I suspect it was probably more due to time constraints rather than it being hard to do. Thanks for the link, BTW. --- S.Y.M. Wong-A-Ton > I was afraid of that.
