I'm currently checking the capabilities of this module.

I've generated a table-page view and generated both a pdf table and a pdf unformatted displays. The same global pdf template (1 page describing de logo and corporate information) has been used in both displays. The target document is multi page due the number of records.

While the pdf template works fine in the unformatted version, each target page in the pdf table version is printed with once, twice or even three times the pdf template with a vertical offset of about 20mm. Apparently there is no pattern in how many times the template is printed. The first page looks ok.

Please, tell me if you can replicate this problem and, of course, try to fix it.

Thanks

Can you add your generated PDF to clarify what happen or screenshot what is wrong?

Here is my output.

As far as I could see, the problem is due to the vertical alignment of the records. The vertical adjust causes that the last record printed in the page exceeds the limits and another page is printed.

Another thing:

Please, can you tell me if is possible to repeat the header of the table in each page of the document? That should be very appreciated.
Thanks.

Can you add the export of the view? I could help to understand how you configure it.

As I commented above, the problem might be due the height of every image (vertical - horizontal).
I dont know how the pdf engine works, but the solution has come by adding some br tags to the rest of the text fields trying to set the vertical adjust of the whole row. A pdf output is enclosed below.

The next step is: how to configure the pdf display to repeat the header in every document page? Note that the catalogue information looses their meaning without the header explanation.

Thanks for your attention.
