The GetAccept Editor automatically manages page breaks to ensure your document displays cleanly when exported, printed, or viewed as a PDF. Page breaks depend on the structure of your content, the size of each Editor block, and how elements are arranged within those blocks. Understanding how page breaks behave helps you design documents that look consistent and professional across devices and formats.
1. How Page Breaks Are Determined
Block-based layout
The Editor uses a block system.
Each Editor block is treated as a single content unit, and the PDF engine will keep the entire block together whenever possible.
This means:
Blocks try not to split across pages
If a block is too tall, it will move to the next page
Content inside the block flows vertically based on the elements you add
2. Internal Element Flow
Inside a block, page breaks depend on element stacking:
Text, images, tables, and pricing tables stack in the order added
Large images or long tables increase block height
Columns are calculated as a single structure, so they move together to the next page
Important:
Blocks do not split mid-column. The entire column layout stays intact.
3. When a Block Forces a Page Break
A block will automatically push to the next page when:
Its total height exceeds the remaining space on the page
It contains large media (full-width images, tables, pricing tables)
Column structures can't fit in the available space
Elements within the block require more vertical room than what's left on the page
The Editor ensures your document does not break mid-element for readability and stability.
4. Elements That Influence Page Breaks Most
Large images
Tall images increase the total block height and can move an entire block to the next page.
Tables & pricing tables
Because they must remain intact, long tables often shift the entire block to a new page.
Multi-column layouts
A column layout is treated as one piece, so it either fits fully or moves.
Nested lists or long text sections
If text grows beyond the page, the block shifts to the next page.
5. Best Practices to Control Page Break Behavior
Use multiple smaller blocks instead of one large block
Place long content such as pricing tables or large images in their own block
Avoid mixing large images and long text in the same block if layout stability is important
Break up sections into logical blocks to improve control and predictability
For consistent formatting, keep similar content grouped in similar block sizes
These practices give you much more influence over where natural breaks occur.
6. Understanding Why Page Breaks Cannot Be Manually Placed
The Editor is designed for flexible digital documents rather than rigid print layout.
Because recipients primarily view documents online, GetAccept optimizes for:
Responsive digital rendering
Content stability
Clean PDF exports
Manual page breaks could interfere with these behaviors, which is why the Editor relies on structural logic instead.
Summary
Page breaks in GetAccept are managed automatically based on:
Block size
Element height
Column structures
Layout flow
By structuring your content into clear, purposeful blocks, you maintain predictable and professional page transitions both online and in exported PDFs.
