[Cartoweb-users] problem in PDF

[Alexandre Saunier]

Hello Giuseppe,

as far that I know there is no standard way to have a text block content 
dispatched on several pages (even though it is possible to have a text 
block printed on every page with the same content).

I guess that your solution is quite a good answer. Anyway I don't figure 
out yet another one that would avoid to extend the exportPDf plugin.
