Multi-page PDFs cause page errors in Adobe Reader, when created with .html()

I have read and understood the contribution guidelines.

When creating a PDF document via .html() with autoPaging enabled, Adobe Reader reports errors from the second page onward (jsPDF 2.5.1 / html2canvas 1.4.1).

The issue does not occur in PDF viewers in Chrome or Firefox. I´ve created a CodePen that reproduces this issue.

I also found a workaround: If I know the number of pages that the autoPaging will generate with .html(), I add those pages manually beforehand - this will result in a PDF file that works in Adobe Reader without issue. CodePen with workaround.

Because of this, I assume that autoPaging in .html() does not properly manage pages, which triggers the error.

I had the same problem @r3-gabriel did you find any solution?

I have not had more time to investigate - the descriped workaround worked good enough to address the issue in the short term.

To clarify how the workaround is implemented:

Create PDF normally with .html(), which results in the bug in Adobe Reader
Count the resulting pages
Throw away the created document
Create new, empty PDF
Add the expected number of pages manually with .addPage()
Add content with .html()
Now you have a valid PDF document

Because the workaround fixes the issue, I assume that .html() does not register pages correctly when more than 1 is generated.

Same problem here, thanks for the workaround @r3-gabriel. Hope this gets fixed...
