I need to provide a number of Printable Product and Price Lists. To keep things as simple as possible I've decided to use Adobe.

To maintain a clean look, I want to force page breaks that are convenient for me. This is the first that I've had to concern myself with printability. I'm hoping that there is a little snippet of mark-up that I can just plug in as necessary.

let me get this straight... you're writing it using adobe acrobat? or you're writing pdf "by hand"? or you're writing ps and postprocessing to pdf?

I'm converting .html pages to Acrobat and want to control page break. The best luck I've had so far, which works quite well actually, is to paste the text into Word, clean it up a little, and convert .doc to Acrobat from there. Word gives me full control.

My first choice would still be stipulating page breaks in the HTML version, and not have to move it to Word. (I can't just go with Word only, because I still need it in HTML.

Maybe I should take the weekend off.

Try htmldoc. It converts HTML to PS or PDF, and with some hidden code in your HTML you can easily force page breaks. Free, well documented. I use it to create PDF on the fly on my server. There also is a Windows version, albeit with limited functionality.
