It's in fact an old issue. If my memory serves me correctly we inherit this from an older 
version of Webkit, which is only still used by the Windows build of gnucash (and perhaps 
the MacOS one, I haven't checked).

In recent gnucash versions (on linux and perhaps MacOS), the "Make PDF" button is the 
same as "Print Invoice" and both properly handle page splitting correctly.

There is no more recent version of webkit available for Windows, so we can't easily fix it 
unfortunately on that platform.
