Print/PDF layout wonkiness (minor issue)

[SilvenMike]

First, thanks for adding the PDF portfolio functionality, it works great now.

I created an Elf Conjurer 5/Fighter 2 and generated both a direct printout and a PDF portfolio, and noticed that if there are too many feats to list in column 2 of page 1, it continues listing them in column 2 of page 2, under Experience Points.

This doesn't lose any data, but is a bit strange to look at. There's obviously a lot that needs to be worked on for layouts of the print form, and I'd rather see more energy going into character creation than the printouts at this time, but thought you should know.

Keep up the great work!

After a bit of research, it appears that there are differences in the way that the PDF libraries calculate heights and the way those heights are calculated when printing to paper. We're going to need to figure out the source of that difference and apply an appropriate adjustment. So I've logged this as a bug.
