Hi,

i have an page, 100mm x 100mm with an div in 50mm x 50mm with text in it.
the text could be longer than i can show in my div so i want to hide the text when it's to long.
"overflow: hidden" will do that in the browser as i want.

but in prince the overflow text will hide, but if the overflowed text is longer than my page, it will cause a new empty page or many pages, if text is longer. the page aren't really empty because CTRL+A will mark my hidden overflowed text in my PDF. so it is not really "gone", just invisible.

is there a way to fix this problem?

i've tried prince 9 and 10 rev 2 with the same result.

thx

We may be able to fix this issue in a future release of Prince. Can you attach a sample HTML document that demonstrates the problem?

I've attached my test markup and an screenshot with the comparison browser vs. PDF (first and second page).

Would love to see this addressed. Seen it a couple times in DocRaptor and it's very unexpected. I think the workaround for now is to set a max-height on the node that contains the overflowed text. Which, not always a reasonable thing, but it seems to work well enough.
