Hi
Is it possible to force the content to appear on a new page in exported PDF ?

Hi,

Yes, you just have to use standard CSS. See break-before - CSS: Cascading Style Sheets | MDN or break-after - CSS: Cascading Style Sheets | MDN for instance. The only limitation is that in-line style won’t work, so you have to use a CSS class:

Text on first page.

(% class="break-before-page" %)
Text on second page.

and define the CSS class somewhere in the skin, or in the color theme, or in a SSX or even in a custom PDF template like this:

.break-before-page {
  break-before: page;
}

Hope this helps,
Marius

A bit late on this one, but I wanted to add page break too, using SSX.

The solution proposed by mflorea worked for me after I added this at the top of the Source page:

{{velocity}}
#set ($discard=$xwiki.ssx.use('<here_the_name_of_your_SSX>')) 
{{/velocity}}

Hope that helps.
