def genenerate_longtabu():
    geometry_options = {"margin": "2.54cm", "includeheadfoot": True}
    doc = Document(page_numbers=True, geometry_options=geometry_options)

    # Generate data table
    with doc.create(LongTable("l l l")) as data_table:
        data_table.add_hline()
        data_table.add_row(["header 1", "header 2", "header 3"])
        data_table.add_hline()
        data_table.end_table_header()
        data_table.add_hline()
        data_table.add_row((MultiColumn(3, align="r", data="Continued on Next Page"),))
        data_table.add_hline()
        data_table.end_table_footer()
        data_table.add_hline()
        data_table.add_row(
            (MultiColumn(3, align="r", data="Not Continued on Next Page"),)
        )
        data_table.add_hline()
        data_table.end_table_last_footer()
        row = ["Content1", "9", "Longer String"]
        for i in range(150):
            data_table.add_row(row)

    doc.generate_pdf("longtable", clean_tex=False)
