In my app I am generating HTML and want to create a PDF based on the
rendering of it. I'm using a WebView (currently on screen but will probably
be off screen once I've gotten this working since the user is never meant to
see a webview, only the resulting PDF).
After lots of searching (list archives, Google, and so on) I have gotten
some code working that will create a PDF file that is properly paginated,
but in my case I want the PDF in memory not on disk.
My code (with a branch to create a file as well as a in memory) can be seen
here:

The project itself can be found here:

The problem I am experiencing with the code branch to create an in memory
PDF is that it is generating one really long continuous page (when looking
at mikezornek.com for example).
I was hoping the WebView would be able to paginate by itself. I am also a
web developer and I know there are CSS attributes out there that help
control printing so I am a little hesitant to manually cut out pages since
I'd like to honor any Print CSS that is being used in the HTML.
Any help or suggestion welcome. Thank you.
