I am currently using mpdf to generate my pdfs from html. So far with my current html that I am passing in, I am able to generate a one page pdf with a header and footer. However, if there is more than one page, my footer goes all the way to the bottom of the second page. Is there a way to add a header and footer for each page?
I have tried $pdf->setHTMLHeader but it doesn't seem to take my css files in and it leaves an x where my logo is supposed to be. How can I do this? I have tried searching in various places but I can't seem to find a solution.
This is my code
public function generate_pdf($account_id,$transaction_id,$html){
$document_folder = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/".DOCUMENT_FOLDER."/".PAYMENT_RECEIPTS."/".date("Y");
$extension = ".pdf";
if(!is_dir($document_folder)){
mkdir($document_folder, 0777,true);
}
$file_name = md5($transaction_id.$account_id);
$this->load->library('m_pdf');
$pdf = $this->m_pdf->load();
$header = $this->load->view('pdfs/header','',true);
$footer = $this->load->view('pdfs/footer','',true);
$pdf->setHTMLHeader($header);
$pdf->setHTMLFooter($footer);
$pdf->AddPage('', // L - landscape, P - portrait
'', '', '', '',
5, // margin_left
5, // margin right
60, // margin top
30, // margin bottom
0, // margin header
0
); // margin footer
$pdf->WriteHTML(base64_decode($html));
$pdf->Output($document_folder."/".$file_name.$extension, "F");
$result = array(
'file_name'=>$file_name,
'file_location'=>$document_folder."/".$file_name.$extension,
'file_link'=>DOCUMENT_LOCATION."/".DOCUMENT_FOLDER."/".PAYMENT_RECEIPTS."/".date("Y")."/".$file_name.$extension
);
return $result;
exit;
}
Also, is there a way to know if the output of the PDF was successful? Currently $pdf->Output only returns ""
Thank you
Here is a Bootstrap CSS file for mPDF: https://github.com/kartik-v/yii2-mpdf/blob/master/src/assets/kv-mpdf-bootstrap.css
It is part of the kartik-v/yii2-mpdf PHP library which encapsulates mPDF.
