Prevent table rows from splitting across pages in PDF report

[sourav.kumar]

I’m generating a PDF report that contains large tables. Currently, when a page break occurs, individual table rows are being split across two pages, which makes the second page very difficult to read.
What I’m trying to achieve is:
A single table row should never be split across pages
If there isn’t enough space for the full row, the entire row should move to the next page
The table itself can span multiple pages, but rows must remain intact

It should not be like where part of a row appears at the bottom of one page and the remaining columns appear at the top of the next page.
One more detail that this table is placed within a cross-band this can break property is not working correctly I using the 2025 version of the application
Has anyone handled this kind of pagination issue before?
What is the recommended way to prevent row‑level page breaks when generating PDFs?
Any guidance or best practices would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,

Try to set the CanBreak=false property.

Thank you.

This property does not work , what I observed is that when the table is place inside any band this property will not works, that's why I came to forum for support

Hello,

In this case, you need to set the UnlimitedHeight=true property for the Page.

Thank you.

Hi,
Modifying the value of this property has not resolved the issue. The report header is removed, and row breaking still persists.

Hello,

In this case, you can set the page height in the EndRender event.

Thank you.

Hi,
This approach did not help, as shown in the image. The root cause of the issue is that the table cells are not respecting the canBreak property when placed in any band. My requirement is to prevent a row from breaking across two pages. Additionally, the page cannot be continued because a page header must be printed at the top of every page.

Hello,

Sorry, I do not exactly understand what you want. Please send a sample of how it should look.

Thank you.
