Menu
I am using dompdf to generate letters which I want to brand with various different companies branded paper. To do this I'm getting a background image via css. See example image at bottom. I then set appropriate margins to fit the content I want to write out into the white space. However I just want this letterhead to display on the first page only. At present it is repeating onto each page. My css looks like:
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>{$pdf.title}</title>
<style type="text/css">
@page {
size: A4;
margin:0;
padding: 0;
}
body {
padding: {$branding.page_margin_top}cm {$branding.page_margin_right}cm {$branding.page_margin_bottom}cm {$branding.page_margin_left}cm;
font-size: 7pt;
font-family: helvetica !important;
background-image: url('{$base_url}pd-direct.png');
background-position: center center;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
font-size: 10pt;
}
#postal-address {
margin: 0cm;
margin-left: {$branding.address_offset_left}cm;
margin-top: {$branding.address_offset_top}cm;
margin-bottom: {$branding.address_offset_bottom}cm;
font-size: 10pt;
}
#date {
font-weight: bold;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="page-body">
<div id="content">
{if $pdf.postal_address}
<div id="postal-address">
{$pdf.postal_address|nl2br}
</div>
{/if}
{$pdf.main_body}
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
How can I change this so the background image is only displayed on the first page output by dompdf?

You can put the letterhead as the background image in an div that overlaps the main content div and use z-index to organise the stacking order of the divs, so that background image will appears at the back.
This way, the background image will only show on the first page when you convert it to PDF using DOMPDF.
The CSS below works for A4@150dpi.
CSS
@page {
size: A4;
margin-top:0.5cm;
margin-bottom:0;
margin-left:0;
margin-right:0;
padding: 0;
}
body {
font-family: helvetica !important;
font-size: 10pt;
position: relative;
}
#overlay {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
background-image: url('http://www.showhousesoftware.com/pd-direct.png');
background-position: center top;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
z-index: -1;
}
#content{
padding: 3.5cm 0.50cm 5.00cm 0.50cm;
}
#postal-address {
margin: 0cm;
margin-left: 1.50cm;
margin-top: 0.00cm;
margin-bottom: 1.00cm;
font-size: 10pt;
}
#date {
font-weight: bold;
}
HTML

<div id="page-body">
