Currently the page break, either for tables or xtables support page breaking on rows and columns. The issue is that maybe on html, ppt or xls the reports looks fine without the page break but garbled on doc or pdf
So it would be great to configure the page break for each export format..
For example, in column area of a cross tab when adding a page break (for example) a list of check boxes could appear letting the editor choose when to take this page break configuration
Is this possible?

The pagination policy is decided by the report layout setting and used by all output format, so BIRT will not support this feature.
