convert html to pdf - page break splits text

I tried to generate a PDF-file from a HTML/CSS-document by using the api of pdflayer.com. So far so good. everything worked fine. But there is one issue. If there is a page break, a line sometimes gets split like in the photo:

split line

is there a way to get rid of this issue? I also tried html2pdfrocket.com it is the same there.

The text is placed within this html-construct:

<html>
 <body>
  <div class="overall">
   <div class="content">
    <div class="wrapper">
     <div class="article">
      Text

I had this problem. PDF converter has a problem with flex and grid system. If it possible try to use tables instead of col and row

You can try converting your HTML to PDF using the Syncfusion online demo. We are handling text and image split across the pages.

I found out that there exists a problem with compiling the content inside of multiple divs. CSS-rules did not affect the behaviour of the issue.

So I had an idea and what I made was to generate a "raw-html-output". In this html document is only

<html>
 <head>
  <style>
   The only necessary css-rules.
  </style>
 </head>
 <body>
  Some text here.
 </body>
</html>

Nothing more.

The API grabs the data from the simplyfied html-file and compiles them well.

i think the best solution would to prevent a break inside a paragraph on print. Something like this:

@media print and (min-width:700px) {
    /* you can change the selector to whatever you need */
    .article {
        break-inside: avoid;
        page-break-inside: avoid;
    }
}

If you use firefox, open the html doc with it and install the add-on named PDF Mage. Just click the icon to convert the page to PDF. It always works for me without any problems.
