Hi @shoaib-moeen

Note that the table headers already split over page breaks:

• https://github.com/py-pdf/fpdf2/blob/master/test/table/test_table.py#L333
• https://github.com/py-pdf/fpdf2/blob/master/test/table/table_with_single_top_line_layout_and_page_break.pdf

Could you please provide a minimal code snippet reproducing the problem that you are facing? 🙂

Hi @Lucas-C ,

Problem was when a single row breaks the page due to very long text it didn't print headers on the next page. It is related to issue #1142 . For now my usage was really limited to the headers not being displayed.

Alright.
Could you maybe provide some minimal code reproducing your problem? 🙂
cf. https://stackoverflow.com/help/minimal-reproducible-example
Such minimal code will be need to craft a unit test, which is mandatory as part of Pull Requests altering fpdf2 source code.

There should be no "magical numbers" like that in the code.
How did you arrive at exactly this size?
Are you aware that size specifications are relative to the document units? If someone uses inches as document units, this turns into half a page!
