One part of the spec that might need to get implemented for PDF.JS is the
ability to specify the size of individual pages. If I get that right from the
spec, this can be done like this:
@page narrow { size: 4cm 4cm }
div.foo { page: narrow }
Can you please help me, what the expected behavior is in the following case:
Assume the default page size is A4 and a div matching "div.foo" is at the very
bottom of the first printed page. As it has a `page` property defined, the
`@page narrow` properties get applied to the page the "div.foo" is on. But the
page-size required the A4 page to shrink. As a consequence of the shrink
process, the "div.foo" element is no longer on the same page as before, as it
was at the very bottom and the page got smaller. In a consequence, the page
that now contains the "div.foo" should get the narrow-page-size applied. But as
the "div.foo" is no longer on the first page, the "@page narrow" doesn't apply
to the first page anymore, and it size should be A4 again. But then the
"div.foo" is on the first page again, the "@page narrow" get applied and ...
Do you see the endless loop? I haven't read the entire spec, but from what I
read the behavior in this case is not clear to me.
Also, what should happen if there are two divs on the page, both referring to
"@page" definitions but have different page-sizes applied. Should the first
div's page-size win over the second?
Best,
Julian
