[reportlab-users] Long table on multi pages

[Marc Stober]

Hi Francois,

You have to ask a table to split itself by calling certain methods. The
usual way to do this is to use Platypus, which does this for you. For
example:

# Add the following at the top of your code:
from reportlab.platypus import SimpleDocTemplate

# Replace the last 2 lines of your code with:
doc = SimpleDocTemplate("testPlatypus.pdf")
doc.build(story)
