What happened to page breaks in Numbers 3.2?

I need Numbers to create a PDF spreadsheet that has actual page breaks instead of one long table. Why can't I do this?? I frequently need to share spreadsheets with those not using a Mac or any spreadsheet software at all. But when I export my two page spreadsheet to a PDF, the file is just a long table without breaking it up into two pages. Perhaps someone could print it and stretch it out over two pages, but I should be able to format how something should look as a PDF and there doesn't seem to be any way to do that. When I try to insert a page break, the option is grayed out. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Cam,


Instead of Menu > File > Export To... > PDF, do

Menu > File > Print... to get Print Preview.


A large table in Print View (zoomed out for a smaller screen shot)

The page breaks are inserted.

The Print Setup panel on the right allows you to set the page margins (drag the panel up to see).
