(SOLVED) Images extending off the bottom of the page in PDF

[etk]

I think it would have been an enormous amount of work for me to convert the drop-downs to a toggle. I found it quicker to just embed the image, that is withing the drop-down, within a a toggle. Still a lot of work - seems like using an elephant gun to shoot and ant, if you ask me. Thanks for your help!

The idea wasn't that the toggle fixed it per se - the idea was that getting the image out of the dropdown nest structure would simplify the code enough that the PDF would build cleaner. The toggle was added to allow the dropdown behaviour to be retained without needing the full nest structure.

So I'm confused - with your dropdowns, did you get it to work without the images scrolling off the page? I didn't like having to convert these to togglers either, but I did it as a last resort to resolve the image/page-break issue.

By the way, I also changed my toggler.dropdown properties--and those of the dropdown.head and dropdown.hotspot--to page-break-after:avoid so that these header-like objects would stay with the paragraph/image they introduce. In my next pass, I'll try one of Lisa's suggestions (from this or another forum) and create a class called "keep" that duplicates the functionality of Word's Keep With Next and can be applied to various tags.

Oh, I get it. You kept the dropdown structure and embedded just the image in a toggler. I'm amazed that that worked!

I tested the problem of images hiding footers after installing 4.1 SP1 and Flare handled everything fine. I await your confirmation, but there seems to be cause for celebration

Sorry to belabor this, but are you saying that you made no other changes beyond installing 4.1 SP1 and everything worked fine? This didn't work for me until I converted the dropdown text to togglers.

Yesterday I was working with V4.1 SP1 and I had some images slipping off the page for my PDF output. I set over half of the images in my project ,most are within a drop-down text, in a toggle. I checked as I was doing it and I had 100% success - images that were slipping were now on the next page!
This morning I proceded with the editing. I have had one that didn't move - the rest have. I don't know what that means! I am very loathed to get rid of my drop-downs.

Take a look at one of the working topics and one of the non-working topics in the Internal Text Editor. In other threads there have been discussions of the formatting of the drop-downs changing, although that was pre-v4 so that might have changed. But in some cases, there was an extra set of tags in one set of drop-downs that wasn't in the other. I think the extra set was around the hotspot (clickable text). Anyway, compare the tag structure of a working versus non-working drop-down effect and see if they match/don't match. If they don't match, then see if you can modify the non-working one to look like the working one. If you can and it works, make sure you submit a bug report detailing the problem.

Simplest approach:

1) Hit enter to create a new paragraph
2) Add a letter or two of placeholder text so that Flare doesn't helpfully convert the paragraph into a lone image tag set
3) Insert the image after the letters
4) Delete the letters

Voila, one img tag set inside a p tag set.

That's it?

Nice to have a workaround, but it still sounds rather like a bug to me.

So it's as easy as that? No need to do any fancy selectors? Maybe I need a lesson on how to nest an <img> tag inside a <p> tag....

This might not work if you're working with BLOCK QUOTE tags. The IMAGE tags won't appear. I removed my BQ tags.
