Forms How To

Updated March 15, 2021

asked on March 16, 2020

I currently have a form with 8 pages, all separated via Page Breaks in Forms, the usability and presentation looks great.

However when i print the document there are page breaks in the printed version in the PDF.

Has anybody been able to remove this when printing, i have tried cf-page{page-break-inside: avoid;} however this does not work.

Has anybody been successful in removing all of the page breaks when printing.

The "remove page breaks from saved form" is configured from Form title->pagination:

What version are you on, and are you using the Print Forms feature introduced in 10.4.2? Or saving the form to the repository as a PDF?

We have an option in the pagination settings to "Remove page breaks from saved forms" that will remove the page breaks when generating a PDF to be saved into the repository.

The Forms Version which places the page breaks, is 10.4.1.172, when calling print from the thank you page on forms submission, below.

When doing the same process in Forms 10.4.3.198 the print feature places all of the pages together without the page breaks. Is this something which has changed between versions?

I checked with 10.4.3.198, by default it still print with page breaks. If I add ".cf-page-readonly:not(.first-page){page-break-before: avoid !important;}" to the custom CSS, there will be no page breaks when print.

Hi Xiuhong,

Is there a way to use the same CSS you provided above where on print, it removes all the page breaks? We have 10.4.5.282 version of Forms currently.

Hi Gert, you can use the same CSS I provided with Forms 10.4.5.282 to remove the page breaks when print.

.cf-page-readonly:not(.first-page){page-break-before: avoid !important;}

Thanks Xiuhong, it does not seem to work on my side, but it might be that our front end development is overwriting the css even though it is set as !important. Will investigate more on our side.
