Page Break Interval causes problem within PDF Emitter development

Hi there,

I am currently working on a customized PDF-Emitter for the BIRT-Engine using the BIRT Report Rendering Extension API. Within that project the "Page Break Interval"-Option causes some problems.
When this option is set (e.g.) to the default-value (40) it always forces a page-break on the final PDF document after 40 rows.

The problem is that it's not considered if the table is the first element on a page or not. Hence it can happen that there are 20 Rows of the Table on the first page (where the table is not the first element) and then a page break on the next page is forced after the next 20 lines, although there is still plenty of space on that page for the rest of the table.

I would want the emitter to reset the "Page Break Interval" to the preset value after a page break, but I wasn't able to manage that. The problem is that I cannot influence the visitor (ContentEmitterVisitor) which starts the "startPage()"-method whenever the "Page Break Interval"-limit is reached, nor can I even get or set the value of the "Page Break Intverval"-Variable.

Is there any way to solve or avoid that problem?

I hope my problem is understandable and I would be pleased with any answers.

Best Regards

Can you set the page break interval to 0? BTW 3.7 has some improvements with page break interval and page variables.
