Cfdocument prevents page breaks in the middle of a line

I know this was asked before, but the solutions are from 2.5 years ago, so I ask if anyone has developed or knows a more elegant solution to the problem using CF9. Can anyone confirm if CF10 supports the "page break: avoid" rule?

How can I prevent page breaks in CFDocument from the middle of the content?

COLDFUSION: cfdocument and page formatting

This is pretty much how I do it. I rated, depending on what type of page it is, I can put 9 or 11 rows of data before forcing a page break. Of course, this tends to break, so if anyone knows about any evolution of the solution, I would be grateful.

I believe I found a pseudo-solution. This is basically what I said in the comments above. I take the best guess and see if it fits using the cfpdf getInfo.totalPages value. If it does, fine, combine it with the final document, if it doesn't, try again with fewer lines.
