print stylesheet, one page prints and cuts off remaining text
In print.css, set overflow: visible
instead of overflow: auto
on div#content
. That fixed it for me in Firefox at least. The definition of overflow auto is: "If overflow is clipped, a scroll-bar should be added to see the rest of the content" -- but scroll bars don't exist on printed pages.
I'm guessing that since the content div should span across multiple pages, the browser thinks "you're flowing outside your container and must be clipped with a scroll bar". The container in that case is the first page the content div appears on.
I know this is an old question but here's another, newer way this can happen.
Check if you're using display: flex;
on the clipped element. It was the problem for me, setting it to block
fixed it.
I found that setting display: inline
on container divs also helped. Some of these great answers here have worked for me in certain situations while in others no.
<div class="container">
<div class="content-cutting-off-here">
Some long text that gets cut off at the end of the page...
</div>
</div>
Most people set containers to display block
or inline-block
. For me it was cutting off text, and setting it to inline
circumvented that. This also makes width
and height
irrelevant for the offending container div; which I have found to be a nuisance when printing.
@media print {
.container {
display: inline;
}
}
Here is a great article that helped me with this solution.
