page-break-after causing invalid markup

Hi,

I have a vf page that renders as a pdf. It is a certificate for a list of assessments that people have completed.
There are different types of certificate depending on what assessments they have taken.
I capture the different assessments in their own lists in my controller depending on which certificate needs to be displayed.

I have created the vf page and used rendered="{!NOT(List.Empty)}" to choose whether or not to display the page.
If there is more than 1 certificate in the pdf I need to show both.
At the moment they are rendering ontop of each other so I added a div with page-break-after:always; after my first apex:variable.

It is giving me a PDF Generation Error. Invalid Markup.
I'm not sure why?

Here is my vf page: 
<apex:page standardController="Certification_Candidate__c" extensions="AssessmentTableController" showHeader="false" applyHtmlTag="false" applyBodyTag="false" renderAs="pdf" action="{!savePdf}">
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css" media="print">

}
</style>
</head>
<body style="font-family: Arial Unicode MS; font-size:12px">
<apex:variable var="acs" value="" rendered="{!NOT(AsstList.Empty)}">

   <apex:panelGrid columns="2" style="width:567px; font-size:16px; margin: auto,auto;">

<div style="page-break-after:always"></div>
</apex:variable>
</body>
</html>
</apex:page>

I hope this makes sense.

Thanks
