PaginationStrategy

Whether a Flow's page breaks come from overflow and PageBreak markers, or from PageBreak markers alone.

PaginationStrategy decides whether a Flow paginates on overflow, or only at the PageBreak markers you author. Both strategies honor PageBreaks; the difference is whether Format also breaks the page when content overflows its Frame. A Flow inherits the owning Layout's strategy unless it sets its own.

Variants

NameDescription
auto
The default. Format opens a new page when content overflows the Frame, and at any PageBreak marker. It suits most documents, where content length varies from render to render.
manual
Format breaks the page only at PageBreak markers; overflow is ignored. Every page boundary is one you placed, which suits fixed, hand-designed layouts where you control exactly where pages end.
