Page break

The following example shows how to insert a page break before a paragraph using paragraph style properties.

import com.independentsoft.office.odf.Paragraph;
import com.independentsoft.office.odf.TextDocument;
import com.independentsoft.office.odf.styles.Break;
import com.independentsoft.office.odf.styles.ParagraphStyle;

public class Example {

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        try
        {
            TextDocument doc = new TextDocument();

            Paragraph p1 = new Paragraph();
            p1.add("This is the first paragraph on page 1.");
            doc.getBody().add(p1);

            ParagraphStyle breakStyle = new ParagraphStyle("P_break");
            breakStyle.getParagraphProperties().setBreakBefore(Break.PAGE);
            doc.getAutomaticStyles().getStyles().add(breakStyle);

            Paragraph p2 = new Paragraph();
            p2.setStyle("P_break");
            p2.add("This paragraph starts on a new page.");
            doc.getBody().add(p2);

            Paragraph p3 = new Paragraph();
            p3.add("This paragraph continues on the same page.");
            doc.getBody().add(p3);

            doc.save("c:\\test\\output.odt", true);
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            System.out.println(e.getMessage());
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}
