The behaviour is intentional. A single table cell can not exceed one page. Therefore big tables are split into the individual cells and rendered consecutively.

There is nothing that can be done on our side.

Two solutions come to my mind:

* you could use definitionlists instead of tables: 

;Krishnamurti
:Ainsi que je le disais hier, la pensée est mutilée,...

* you could use templates. the regular template could output a table that you are using now. A special print template could be created which would generate different output for the PDF version (using definitionlists for example) for help with print templates see:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Books/for_experts
