from the report designer, select the table. then, select "Page Break" on the
property editor. Finally, set the "Page Break Interval" to any value you
want.

Another idea?

Same problem here. Page Break settings are not applied to frameset view.

My version is BIRT 2.1.0RC4

Thank you in advance.

Page Break Interval was removed from 2.1. It worked only for HTML output.

To apply a page break after a certain number of rows:
1) At the table level, create a column binding, for example, row_index, and
set its expression to Total.runningCount(). This function (new in 2.1)
returns the current row number.
2) Create a group. Group on the column binding you created. Select Interval,
and set Range to the number of rows in each group. Then set Page Break After
(in the same group dialog) to Always Excluding Last.

This is the correct procedure. However, it might not be working yet. There
is a bug filed.

Under BIRT 2.1.0 you can only use pageBreakAfter, pageBreakBefore,
pageBreakInside properties for page breaks and these properties can be
used for a limited number of components (eg table,table group etc.)

If you want to use page breaks between some number of records in a table
you must do some workaround on your dataset. You can add a computed
column into your dataset that specifies page number for each record.
This can be done with an expression like below for a page size of 10.
`row[0] / 5`

Then you can make a table group on the computed column and use
pageBreakAfter property.

I hope this helps. It was the only way i found.
