Report Builder 2.0: Page breaks within a row
I am using Report Builder 2.0
When exporting a report to PDF, a table in the report that has a row which is too tall to fit on the remainder of the page has the entire row pushed to the top of the next page. This can leave a big "hole" on the page which the row was pushed off
of.
Is it possible to force the tool to break the row across 2 pages?

Thank for the info, but that link shows how to add page breaks by basically telling report builder where to put them at report design time.
I have no idea where I want the breaks at report design time as the breaks are based upon the data that get rendered in the report. I want each page to be full of data and for the breaks to appear wherever they need to be in order to keep each page
full. The problem I am running into is that the rows are variable height, they can contain a lot of text and they grow in height to accomodate.
Report builder seems to keep each row unbroken, so tall rows are pushed onto the following page in order to keep it whole. This can create big blank spaces at the bottom of the report pages.
HTML to PDF tools out there break the table rows the way I'd like them to break, it seems odd that report builder cannot do the same... so, I'm hoping that it can.
Any ideas?
