Pdf is not working with css page break after :always

Question

I am creating a PDF with CSS page breaks, but the PDF is not not breaking the page. When I remove postion:absolute it works, but it creates space after every page. I think it's a CSS problem but I'm not sure.

If there is problem with the CSS, how I can resolve it?

<html>
<head>    
  <title> PDF </title>
  <style type="text/css">
    <!--
      body { font-family: Arial; font-size: 33.0px }
      .pos { position: absolute; z-index: 0; left: 0px; top: 0px }
    -->
  </style>
</head>

<body>
  <div style="page-break-after: always;">

Answer 1

When you use position:absolute the PDF will be rendered using the elements absolute position. If you remove position:absolute without changing the top and left attributes of the elements to zero, they will be rendered relativelly and you will get the spaces between the pages.

Try:

@media print {
    .pos { position: relative; z-index: 0; left: 0px; top: 0px }
}
