    I've converted a HTML text page to PDF with no problems, but I'd like to control the way pages break better.

    Is there a way for me to keep continuous paragraphs uninterrupted?

    Here's what the text looks like:

    I'd like pages to always split along line breaks and not interrupt the paragraphs.

    Hope you can help, thanks

    Since there's no such thing as a page-break in an HTML file, the answer is no. You can only extract pages to a specific size.

    Alternatively, convert the HTML file to Word, edit it there so it has the layout you want it to (including page breaks), and then convert it to PDF.

    The solution is setting up a proper @page policy in your CSS (or in your media="print" stylesheet).

    For istance, you can force a page break before headings 1

     
    h2.titolo  
    page-break-before: right;
     
    >

    Unfortunately, so far Acrobat has a poor rendition of most CSS3 @page policies, thus in your pdf the heading will not start on a right page (but other renderers can do that).

    Not working in Acrobat in my experience (I am waiting for an answer from support)

    • Page size
    • Page-margin boxes (where you put headers, footer and page number, and yes, everything should be created)
    • right/left page breaks before elements (standard page break work)
    • Font face support if you have more than one font-face (i.e. one for the text and one for headers).
