details datapage print multiple records

[DesiLogi]

Hello All,

I have a Details datapage that filters to show multiple records (one record per page but all accessible with the Next/Previous buttons). I'd like to be able to, from the browser, click Print and print to pdf ALL of the records in the results into a single PDF doc. Instead it only will print the current record. Does anyone know how to do this?

I would put the records in a tabular, list, or gallery datapage to do this but the problem is forcing page breaks in the right place so images and/or text don't get split in the pdf. I was hoping to be able to utilize a Details page to avoid this issue...

Hi DesiLogi,

For Details page, it's not possible since the next/previous page is not yet available to the browser until you hit the pagination controls. On the other hand, if you're worried about incorrect page breaks on tabular/list reports, you can try wrapping the entire report in a <div> container using the Header/Footer section. And then try if the CSS page-break-after property will work for you:

Hope this helps.

Hi Nightowl,

Thanks for the page break tip- I'll definitely try that. I had to use a regular list report, as your point on Details pagination makes clear, and the page break issue is a problem. Thanks for posting the link-

As of July 12, 2018, Caspio introduced new features which you can find here: https://howto.caspio.com/release-notes/caspio-bridge-13-0/

This release includes a new feature of PDF Download option that allows you to download your displayed reports as a PDF File either from Results Page or Details Page. You can also customize your PDF display settings such as header or footer, margins, page orientation and page break.

However, this feature is available in Performance and higher plans, but this can be an add-on to Professional plans.
