based on https://gist.github.com/niflostancu/3683510 by Florin Stancu This is a reworked table split hack. I had problems with the original with the tables not being populated evenly (I would sometimes have empty tables with headers only, or a table with only a few rows) This version has support for tfoot tags. Your table should be laid out with…

wkhtmltopdf.tablesplit.js

/**
 * WkHtmlToPdf table splitting hack.
 *
 * Script to automatically split multiple-pages-spanning HTML tables for PDF
 * generation using webkit.
 *
 * To use, you must adjust pdfPage object's contents to reflect your PDF's
 * page format.
 * The tables you want to be automatically splitted when the page ends must
 * have a class name of "splitForPrint" (can be changed).
 * Also, it might be a good idea to update the splitThreshold value if you have
 * large table rows.
 *
 * Dependencies: jQuery.
 *
 * WARNING: WorksForMe(tm)!
 * If it doesn't work, first check for javascript errors using a webkit browser.

$(window).load(function () {
    // get document resolution
    var dpi = $('<div id="dpi"></div>')
        .css({
            height: '1in', width: '1in',
            top: '-100%', left: '-100%',
            position: 'absolute'
        })
        .appendTo('body')
        .height();

    // page height in pixels
    var pageHeight = Math.ceil(
        (pdfPage.height - pdfPage.margins.top - pdfPage.margins.bottom) * dpi);

    // temporary set body's width and padding to match pdf's size
    var $body = $('body');
    $body.css('width', (pdfPage.width - pdfPage.margins.left - pdfPage.margins.right) + 'in');
    $body.css('padding-left', pdfPage.margins.left + 'in');
    $body.css('padding-right', pdfPage.margins.right + 'in');

    //////
    $('table.' + splitClassName).each(function () {
        var $origin_table = $(this);

        var $template = $origin_table.clone()
        $template.find('> tbody > tr').remove();
        $template.find('> tfoot > tr').remove();


        var current_table = 0
        var split_tables = Array()
        split_tables.push($template.clone())
        insertIntoDom($origin_table, split_tables[current_table])

        $origin_table.find('> tbody tr').each(function () {
            var $tr = $(this);

            $tr.detach().appendTo(split_tables[current_table].find('> tbody'));
            if ($(split_tables[current_table]).height() > (pageHeight - splitThreshold)) {
                current_table++
                split_tables.push($template.clone())
                insertIntoDom($origin_table, split_tables[current_table])
            }

        });

        //table footer
        var $tfoot = $origin_table.find('> tfoot')

        var last_table_height = $(split_tables[current_table]).height()
        if (last_table_height + $tfoot.height() > (pageHeight - splitThreshold)) {
            current_table++
            split_tables.push($template.clone())
            insertIntoDom($origin_table, split_tables[current_table])
            alert('made new table for footer')
        }
        $tfoot.detach().appendTo($(split_tables[current_table]))
        $origin_table.remove()

        $('div.page-breaker').last().remove()
    });

    function insertIntoDom(after, what) {
        var $br = $('<div class="page-breaker" style="height: 10px;"></div>').css('page-break-before', 'always');
        $(what).appendTo($(after).parent());
        $br.insertAfter(what);
    }


    // restore body's padding
    $body.css('padding-left', 0);
    $body.css('padding-right', 0);

});

The use of splitThreshold not seem very accurate, especially if the columns of the last row of the table are very large, so I made the following change:

if ($(split_tables[current_table]).height() > (pageHeight)) {
current_table++
split_tables.push($template.clone())
insertIntoDom($origin_table, split_tables[current_table])
split_tables[current_table - 1].find('> tbody > tr:last').detach().prependTo(split_tables[current_table].find('> tbody'))
}

It is also interesting to add a class for each table generated and set size like this:

$('.table_report').css('height', String(pageHeight) + 'px')
$('.table_report:last').css('height', 'auto')

Here is another implementation from me, check it out!

I did a similar script that does vertical splitting on wide tables instead of horizontal splitting.
I wrote it starting from the idea of Florin Stancu & forks.

I didn't find any satisfying solution for it on the web, so maybe you can find it helpful:

Here is a working example:

This is perfect!
Worked like a charm! Thank you.
