Hi,

Under BIRT 2.1.0 you can only use pageBreakAfter, pageBreakBefore, pageBreakInside properties for page breaks and these properties can be used for a limited number of components (eg table,table group etc.)

If you want to use page breaks between some number of records in a table you must do some workaround on your dataset. You can add a computed column into your dataset that specifies page number for each record. This can be done with an expression like below for a page size of 10.
`row[0] / 10`

Then you can make a table group on the computed column and use pageBreakAfter property.

I hope this helps. It was the only way i found.
