Thank you for the suggestions. I tried many variations of the html file. I tried creating one huge file and many, smaller in size, html files contained in one physical file. I will look closer into PDF, though. In terms of ID-ing each page, I tried that too since I create the html using php. I have a variable that counts the pages and I built the ID incorporating the counter variable. For now I am enclosing the data that needs to be in the page with the footer with a
<div class="print_report" style="height:auto; min-height:240px;"> That way as the data changes the fake footer will be in the same position. I realize that this is not as nice as the css soution but it works.
