Creating a professional-looking PDF catalog from an HTML view

Hello there!

I am currently experimenting with the PDF exportation of an HTML view I created. I would like this PDF export file to look as 'professional' as possible, meaning I would like to be able to print it out or mail it to clients 'out of the box'.

This html view displays the result from a search query within the records stored in my form: it shows a list of project references, each one complete with a couple pictures, and a definite set of information.

Right now, I am still encountering some issues with a few details:

      1. First of all, under Firefox or Safari, it often happens that the PDF exported file doesn't display all records which appear in the HTML view on my browser... some records, towards the end, just disappear. How come?

      2. I would like each page I print to contain only 2 such references, or at least, I would like each reference NOT to 'bleed' unto the next printed page if the text doesn't completely fit: in a word, I would like an automatic page-break if the case cannot fit into the first page it would be printed in. How can I do this?

      3. Would there be a way to program a header and/or footer for each PDF export?

Thanks in advance for anyone's help!
