I'm currently using wkhtmltopdf to generate large PDFs that includes a table which may be long enough to be shown on a single page. We were having issues getting rows to break properly at the end of each page.
I am following the below structure
html . . . . . . .
We have tried using thead < display: table-header-group; >tfoot < display: table-row-group; >tr < page-break-inside: avoid; >and also other solutions provided on internet
But none is effective till now
Please help me in overcoming this issue.
Thanks in advance.
Please find below the screenshot of the pdf

PhilterPaper commented Nov 10, 2016Ah yes, the problem of breaking in the middle of a line, as you show, has come up before. I don't recall there being any solution that worked for everyone. The problem is that the rendering engine is WebKit, and it's just not suitable for the purpose. It expects one continuous page of output, and doesn't work well when you need to split its output into pages.
Some users have had some success with page_break_inside: avoid for rows, to split the table at a row, but that doesn't seem to always work.
nimish13 commented Nov 10, 2016@PhilterPaper Thanks for replying.
So there is no solution to this problem? Not even any hack?
@ashkulz - Please provide a solution to this issue if any.

@PhilterPaper I spent right now 3 days scouring the internet for a solution until I saw yours. Holy crap. I almost gave up.
@nimish13, sometimes people report success using CSS to prevent page breaks inside of rows, but you say you've already tried that. Are you using a reasonably up to date version of wkHTMLtoPDF? If you are, I have no idea of anything else you could try.
nimish13 commented Nov 13, 2016@PhilterPaper Yes am using latest version of wkhtmltopdf i.e 12.3.3. Thanks for your time.

Also, what OS is wkhtmltopdf running on? Did you download it or compile it yourself? If you compiled it yourself are you using a patched QT version?
ashkulz commented Nov 18, 2016This looks to be a duplicate of #2141, see comments on the issue. Unfortunately, you can either choose to have rows break in the middle (without tr page-break-inside: avoid) or lines break in the middle (with tr page-break-inside: avoid).
