I am creating an on-line and PDF help program. The on-line works fine, but the PDF page breaks are in unusual places. How can I create page breaks at the end of a topic?

Try creating a Word file, inserting the page breaks as required and then PDFing it.

I suggest that you DISABLE the "Start each topic on a new page" option, which, in my experience, introduces unwanted blank lines before some of the topic titles. Instead, edit the Heading 1 style in your Word template so that the text starts on a new page. (Format the style, and then select Format | Paragraph | Line and Page Breaks | Page break before.) This gives cleaner, more consistent results with Word 2003 and RH X5, in my experience.

Welcome to our community, Steve

To my knowledge, PDF is created from the Printed Documentation layout. If you edit the properties of that layout, there is an option for "Start each topic on a new page". I'm not sure if that would do what you want, as you are referring to the end of a topic, not where a new one begins.

So have you tried that?
