PageBreak not working when output to HTML

I have a simple example that shows the problem. It creates a Shape.TextBox on each of three pages. It uses the DocumentBuilder to add a PageBreak between the definition of the three Shape.TextBox instances. The output HTML shows all three TextBox instances overlapping each other with only a small separation. Here is the entire console application to show the issue…

class Program
{
    static Document doc = new Document();
    static DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

    [STAThreadAttribute()]
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        AddTextBox("First Page");
        builder.InsertBreak(BreakType.PageBreak);
        AddTextBox("Second Page");
        builder.InsertBreak(BreakType.PageBreak);
        AddTextBox("Third Page");
        doc.Save("C:\\out.html");
    }
    static void AddTextBox(string str)
    {
        Shape shape = new Shape(doc, ShapeType.TextBox);
        shape.Top = 10;
        shape.Left = 10;
        shape.Width = 200;
        shape.Height = 200;
        Paragraph paragraph = new Paragraph(doc);
        Run run = new Run(doc, str);
        run.Font.Underline = Underline.Single;
        paragraph.AppendChild(run);
        shape.AppendChild(paragraph);
        builder.InsertNode(shape);
    }
}

Hi
Thanks for your request. As you may know, there are no pages in HTML. HTML document contain one page. In your case, I think, you should simply use inline Textboxes. In this case, they will not overlap each other.

static void AddTextBox(string str)
{
    Shape shape = new Shape(doc, ShapeType.TextBox);
    shape.Top = 10;
    shape.Left = 10;
    shape.Width = 200;
    shape.Height = 200;
    shape.WrapType = WrapType.Inline;
    Paragraph paragraph = new Paragraph(doc);
    Run run = new Run(doc, str);
    run.Font.Underline = Underline.Single;
    paragraph.AppendChild(run);
    shape.AppendChild(paragraph);
    builder.InsertNode(shape);
}

Hope this helps.
Best regards,
