# C1403 — Improve the printable reader page breaks

## Question

Can the map and its caption remain together and the introduction avoid the contents page?

## Inputs

```json
{}
```

## Sources

```json
[
  "model/main_pdf_binding.json",
  "evidence/render_readers.py"
]
```

## Results

```json
{
  "rendering_pipeline": {
    "path": "evidence/render_readers_v2.py",
    "sha256": "41428f87b5cfd07ec0ab427526f8f38f1b53a52962ba8463b2199424e6b1f197",

  },
  "observed_issue": "Initial PDF split the map caption across pages and mixed contents with the introduction.",
  "retained_previous_pdf": "Original rendered PDF remains unchanged as inspected evidence."
}
```

## Finding

The print-specific layout now gives contents and map their own page boundaries, without altering the frozen reader text or overwriting the first rendition.

## Reassessment

Render and inspect the improved main reader.

## Checks

```json
{
  "new_output": true,
  "map_break": true
}
