Split column across pages if not enough space

[VKB2612]

I want to print remaining columns on a new page if it is not enough horizontal space to show it on one page.

I assume you would like to have something like this?

I thought we already had a feature request for this since it is one of the most requested features. Couldn't find it now though so maybe you can edit this ticket to be a feature request instead?

Hi @simonbengtsson

The above sample PDF is exactly what is required. I edit the ticket now to make it a request feature. Thanks.

[simonbengtsson]

Great 👌 Simplified the issue a bit now.

Hi @simonbengtsson ,
Is there any update on this?

Thanks and regards

Hi! As far as I know no one is working on it.

Hi @simonbengtsson

This requirement/feature is quite important for release as wrapping cell content is not a feasible option (lengthy numeric values are not easily readable when wrapped). It would be really helpful if this task can be prioritized. Thanks in advance.

Agreed, seems like many people are looking for this feature. I have no bandwidth to look into it in the foreseeable future. I'll be happy to review a merge request asap if you make one however.

Hi @simonbengtsson ,

if I have understood you correctly, you want me to make the proposed/requested changes and make a merge request? Regards

[VKB2612]

Hi @simonbengtsson

Unfortunately this would not be possible from my end in the moment. Can you please suggest any other alternate solution?

Thanks and Regards

[simonbengtsson]

Except for increasing page size or making font size smaller I don't know of an alternative solution.

Hi i have 139 columns using jspdf-autotable, how to adjust or split column or is there any alternate solution?

[simonbengtsson]

I thought some about it now and I guess you could select a huge page such as A0 in landscape. Then split it with a tool such as this https://deftpdf.com/split-pdf-down-the-middle. Maybe you can even find a way to split a page with jspdf.
