Abstract
On-line or computer based document generation and consumption has become as common, or more so, than paper based document generation and consumption. With the move away from paper there is no longer the physical restriction of the paper on which a document may be printed. It is still desirable, however, to break documents into readable pages. We allow a selection of logical page breaks at locations that are deemed convenient, also allow for selection of approximate page dimensions for pages within each logical section. Because these pages are approximate, pagination is less computationally expensive than fixed pagination. Moreover, many of the appearance problems that plague fixed pagination dissolve.
