Split Oversized Items (splitOversizedItem)

The Split Oversized Items property defines the behavior for when a single element exceeds the space in layout direction.

In the Properties view, this property is the Split Oversized Items property in the Mini Page category.

The Split Oversized Items property has no effect if the Y property is set (that is, the element is self-placing).

When set to TRUE, this value allows the splitting of large non-propagating child elements (such as HTMLBOX, WORDWRAPBOX, or IMAGEBOX) into chunks using preferable breakpoints (if available). Preferable breakpoints refer to whitespace or between table rows.

Note: A non-propagating element does not generates an extra copy when that element is full.

Otherwise the box becomes overfull.

Note: The splitting of a large element is a costly operation. The element that is split is kept in memory until the last split has been performed. The element that is split should not exceed a few pages. If possible, consider using a Paragraph or PDF Box element, which arrange the content across pages without the need for Split Oversized Items.

Type: Boolean.
