      Issue Summary

      When exporting a page to PDF, if an Insert Excerpt macro is present and its content doesn't fit fully within the current page, instead of starting on the current page and continuing in the next only when the content no longer fits, it adds a blank space/break and resumes at the beginning of the next page.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Create a page with a table of about 15 rows and place it inside an Excerpt macro.
      2. Copy the same table and paste under the Excerpt (not nested in any other macro).
      3. Publish the page and edit it again so you can use the Excerpt from step 1 on an Insert Excerpt macro. Publish it again.
      4. Export the page to PDF and check the results.

      Expected Results

      The tables start immediately on the next line available on the page and only display content on the next page when no more rows fit in the present one.

      Actual Results

      The table which is not nested in the macros behaves as expected, but the table within the Insert Excerpt doesn't appear underneath the end of the last line from the previous one, instead it skips to the beginning of the next page.

      Workaround

      Currently, the only workaround is avoiding the use of Insert Excerpt for pages you need to export to PDF. Or temporarily edit/make a copy with the actual content, export and then remove it.
