Angry How to get rid of blank parts after the end of the section?
I'm using the news fetching feature and sometimes I turn it into a PDF just in order to read in PDF(sometimes printing important ones) but I don't want it to be interrupted by blanks and want to continue or flow it just right after the end of the section or page. Is it possible to disable page breaks?

No, those arent page breaks those are the ends on individual internal HTML files. Conversion to PDF doesnt have any facilities for merging individual HTML files, though you can do so by converting to MOBI and then converting the MOBI file to PDF while using extra css to suppress page breaks as conversion to MOBI will merge everything into a sngle html file internally.

Extra CSS? Can you share it if possible because I tried what you said (from MOBI to PDF) and it didn't work.

In the look & feel section of the conversion dialog there is an extra css setting add something like

Code:
* { page-break-after: avoid !important; page-break-before: avoid !important }

I've tested the extra CSS out of curiosity and it seemed to work for me (got 43 pages), although I see some random breaks too.

Before which step should I apply that code? Before converting EPUB to MOBI or before converting MOBI to PDF?

There is no Magic Way.

You craft fixes (when possible), by reverse engineering THE CODE or CSS, based upon what you found.

This requires you understand Basic HTML / CSS

Those junk areas could be any of a dozen different things (or combinations )

A blank IMAGE as filler (very common in the old days)
<br />
<p class="break"> non-breaking space </p> or using <div>

styling (in the CSS or inline ) with
margin-bottom:
padding-bottom
minimum-height

Nah, whoever reads this, guys do not try to deal with this. Try a RSS to HTML tool(easiest) or just use reading extensions to download html of webpages individually. Then make them PDF that's easier than dealing with "fetch news" feature. Take care.
