Hello Org-mode community,
This is my first post to the mailing list. I'll jump right into the problem.
I have an org-table consisting of a few hundred lines. I can view and
modify the entire table in emacs no problem. However, when I export to
LaTeX then to PDF I noticed not all rows are visible in the document.
The first 48 rows are visible in a single page, and I expected the
remaining rows to be displayed in the following pages; however, they are
not.
I noticed the exported .tex file does contain all rows. This means the
problem occurs when exporting from LaTeX to PDF. But I just want to
export directly from org-file to PDF. What am I missing? Why aren't the
remaining rows displayed in the following pages in the exported PDF?
Thank you for your time,
--JD

I found the solution. This page shows shows a list of attributes that
are available:
https://orgmode.org/manual/Tables-in-LaTeX-export.html#Tables-in-LaTeX-export
To fix my problem, I did the following:
(1) add this to the top of the org file:
#+LaTeX_HEADER: \usepackage{longtable}
(2) Before the table definition, add the following:
#+ATTR_LATEX: :environment longtable
This fixes the issue. Any table with many rows will now continue to the
next page.

LaTeX may be truncating the table because it does not fit on a single
page. You might have better luck by using a longtable:
#+ATTR_LATEX: :environment longtable
Untested.
