Am curious if anyone has had success getting PDF Server to generate a PDF with multiple pages? My PDF is getting truncating at the bottom of the first page so I'm guessing the answer is No?

yeap. i'm able to create a pdf with 5 pages at least.
I should be able to create even with more, but when i try to get more pages i start getting blank PDF's (results do not render quick enough)

Basically, i modify flashtimeline to show 100results per page. set up a quick saved search while being in that view, and receve email alerts/pdf's with 5 pages.

Ping me/take it offline for more info on how to access my testing machine.

Edit: Since you seem to be having an issue with actually printing a dashboard instead of a saved search i tried that as well, however i did notice the same behavior, my dashboard was truncated to one page... (check email for more info)
