Solved QTextDocument page break
-
Hi everyone,
I am trying to generate pdf files thanks to QTextDocument and QPrinter. The problem is that the QTextDocument API doesn't provide solution to make page break. I was thinking about something like this but it doesn't work :
void newPage(QTextDocument *document, QTextCursor *cursor) { int count = document->pageCount(); while (document->pageCount()==count) cursor->insertHtml("<br>"); }
The problem is the pageCount remains always the same, I tried with the line count but it also remains constant even after adding html line breaks.
So for now, I add html line breaks manually until the document create a new page, but it is a very poor solution as it is absolutely not flexible.
I would like to keep it as simple as possible, this is why I didn't chose to use an external lib as KDReport.Do you have any idea ?
Thanks !

Maybe you can refer to
void QTextBlockFormat::setPageBreakPolicy(QTextFormat::PageBreakFlags policy)
and
void QTextFrameFormat::setPageBreakPolicy(QTextFormat::PageBreakFlags policy)
They should also be able to be set in CSS
page-break-before [ auto | always ] Make it possible to enforce a page break before the paragraph/table
page-break-after [ auto | always ] Make it possible to enforce a page break after the paragraph/table -
Thanks it works ! Page break is automatically added after each block !
