[Bug] Resume with more than one sheet can't be print beyond 1st page

[kartiksingla]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• Yes, I have searched the existing issues and none of them match my problem.

Product Variant

Cloud (http://rxresu.me)

Current Behavior

Resume is longer than 1 A4 page. After exporting it to PDF, when tried to print it, unable to print anything after 1st page (after page break).
Problem: Exports the PDF with one long single page.

Expected Behavior

Should split the pages by line splitter into separate page when exported in PDF along with some margin on the top

Steps To Reproduce

1. Create a resume with content flowing to 2nd page
2. From the right side, enable Show Break Line
3. Export PDF
4. Print by selecting A4 or Letter or A3, you will see the content only before the page break on the website is coming in print view.

Experiencing the same issue with Self Hosted.

The PDF is one LONG page with no pagination. FOllowing the instructions in the guide:

https://docs.rxresu.me/product-guides/creating-a-multi-page-resume.

seems you can span the experience across multiple pages but when trying to add experience to the second page it removes it from the first, unlike the animation / details in the guide above. Would be great if this feature worked as show in the guide, properly breaking sections that space across multiple pages and implement page numbering as expected

The animation of the docs is a screen recording of the actual app, so it should work as expected. I think what is important which has been missed in the docs is that you'll need to break up your Experience section into two separate sections, which is done by basically creating a new custom section and also calling it "Experience". Now you can move the new section to a new page while the old one remains on the first page.

I understand that this is not an ideal process, I would love for this to be automated too, to push sections into their own page intelligently without abrupt breaks within the text. Unfortunately I'm just not that smart 😅

Just my $.02.

I don't think it should be your/the app's responsibility to make it that intelligent. If it hits the page break, It should just cut to new page regardless of the content at the time. Its on the user to finagle their content to look better around where the break occurs. I can't be certain how their stuff works behind the scenes, but a site I've used in the past, myperfectresume, handles it this way and it never felt much like a problem to me. Even going back to the days of using word, you work your content around the page break. The page break is non-negotiable.

I do also like the option to do it manually. But it has some flaws. The one driving me nuts is new section means new divider. so now at the top of page 2 I have a divider that makes no sense in the overall context of the resume (maybe this can be removed but I haven't quite figured that out yet).

Overall, this is an amazing product though. This is really my sole gripe about it. It will keep me from fully embracing and moving to it for now. The divider looks too weird. But I will be watching and keeping an eye on this. The moment this is resolved, I'm never going back to the other places I've used.

@AmruthPillai Maybe we can have a switch for enabling/disabling auto page-break? (disabled by default to be compatible with current behavior) Would that work?
