Help for setting report Page Breaks when exported to PDF

    I have a Tablix with three row groups in it, on my report.

    Category group
    --Item header group
    -----Item Details group

    Regarding the data, Item detail rows may or may not exist for some of the items. Each detail is shown on separate row.
    eg:
    Category: 1. Bikes
    Item Header: 1.1 Mountain Bikes
    Details:    BMX
                    Dirt
                    AllTerrain

    Item Header: 1.2 Saddle
    No Details

    ============

    Need to set the page breaks at Item Header section level.
    I have set the page breaks as "Between each instance of a group", in the ItemHeader group properties.
    But when the report is saved as pdf, the page breaks are not working as intended.
    Page breaks are splitting item Details section, though they are part of item header group.
    Any help appreciated.

    PDF format is a hard page break format, unlike HTML. The rules that apply to page breaks in that format are different and may be at odds with your intent. For more information, check these MSDN pages:
