How to get rid of blank parts after the end of the section?

megi · Today, 05:09 AM

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 }

Didn't work and also I have 800+ page more(original page amount is 66) right now with random page breaks.

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?

I've tried it first on epub to mobi *and* on mobi to pdf. Then I tried only on mobi to pdf, got the same results apparently
