Frequently Asked Questions

What does "Add Page Breaks for PDF Export" in QuoteCloud mean?

In QuoteCloud, "Add Page Breaks for PDF Export" lets you define exactly where pages end when you export a document to PDF. Adding page breaks gives you precise control over pagination so the final PDF matches your intended layout and structure, whether you’re creating a quote, proposal, or other sales document.

Why should I add page breaks before exporting a document to PDF?

Adding page breaks ensures proper pagination and prevents important content from being split across pages. This preserves readability and the visual structure of sections like cover pages, tables, and pricing, producing a professional-looking export that matches the on-screen design—important when using sales quoting software or sales proposal software.

How do I insert a page break in a QuoteCloud document?

Open the document in the QuoteCloud editor, place the cursor where you want the next page to start, and use the editor’s page controls or the Insert → Page Break option to add a break. The editor shows visible page divisions so you can preview how the document will paginate when exported to PDF.

Can I edit or remove page breaks after adding them?

Yes. To remove a page break, open the page’s ellipsis menu (three dots) in the upper-right corner and choose "Merge with Previous Page" to combine it with the page above. You can also move content, add new breaks, or reinsert breaks to update pagination as needed while finalizing quotes or proposals.

Do page breaks only affect the exported PDF, or do they change the on-screen document too?

Page breaks affect both the exported PDF and the on-screen layout in the QuoteCloud editor. You’ll see page divisions while editing, which makes it easier to adjust layout and ensure your exported PDF matches what you expect.

Will page breaks prevent important content like tables or pricing sections from being split across pages?

Yes. Strategic use of page breaks helps keep tables, pricing sections and other critical blocks of content together so they aren’t split across pages, preserving clarity and a professional presentation in your quote or proposal PDFs.

How can I preview and test my page breaks before finalizing a PDF export?

Use the visible page divisions in the editor to review and adjust where pages break. After editing, export a test PDF to confirm pagination and visual layout. If something doesn’t look right, move content, reinsert breaks, or use the Merge option until the PDF matches your intended design—this is a good practice when working with quote software or proposal software.

What are best practices for placing page breaks in QuoteCloud documents?

Place page breaks before major sections—cover pages, new headings, pricing tables—to avoid orphaned or split content. Keep logically related items together, iterate using the editor’s visible page divisions, and perform a test PDF export before sending. When using QuoteCloud as sales quoting software or sales proposal software, setting consistent breaks in templates helps produce uniform, professional PDFs across documents.
