Hi
I have several problems using pagebreaks in birt:

1st Problem:
I want to do a pagebreak before a table, if the table doesn't fit on the rest of the current page.

This schould not happen:
row1
row2
Pagebreak
row3

What I want:
empty
empty
Pagebreak
row1
row2
row3

2nd Problem:
In my report are 2 rows.

This schould not happen:
row1
pagebreak
row2

What I want:
empty
pagebreak
row1
row2

3rd Problem:
In my report I have a table with several groups.
I want to do a pagebreak before a group if a certain condition is fulfilled

this schould be possible:
group1
pagebreak
group2
group3
pagebreak
...

I cant remove the groups due to the performance of the report

Edit:
I'm using Birt 2.6.1

Look at this example for page break based on height:

The solution for the 3rd problem (conditional pagebreak) works great, thanks.

Edit:
Your second solution doesn't work for me, because I don't know where my table starts (due to visibility-rules, multilinecontent etc.)

The second problem is not only concerning rows (I want to keep headline and text together)
