Menu
I want to print 30 pages with some data on top and some data on bottom. My code looks like:
<...>
<div style="page-break-after: always">
<div>This should be on top1</div>
<div>This should be on bottom1</div>
</div>
<div style="page-break-after: always">
<div>This should be on top2</div>
<div>This should be on bottom2</div>
</div>
<etc>
I tried everything:
Maybe there is a way to force my browser (FF) to stick div to bottom of page?

The footer displays after the main content so you have to add more content to push the footer to the bottom or use this CSS code in Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS to make the footer stick at the bottom.
Finally found an answer:
Voila!
Here is my complete code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html lang="en-US">
<head>
<style>
html,body
{
height: 100%;
margin: 0px;
}
body > div
{
height: 100%;
display: block;
position: relative;
}
body > div > div
{
position: absolute;
bottom: 0px;
left: 0px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div>
Page1
<div>Page1Footer</div>
</div>
<div>
Page2
<div>Page2Footer</div>
</div>
<div>
Page3
<div>Page3Footer</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Update
I played around a little bit with the code above and this may work easier than what I initially thought. (Note, there is potential for the footer to overlap content from the previous div, this could be resolved by adding a margin-bottom attribute to the content div equal to your custom footers set height - Also, if your page content is too long between page breaks, this will still have a couple scenarios that need attending). All that said, I tested locally and it worked as you desired.
CSS
<style>
@media print{
.footer{
position:relative;
top:-20px; // this sets the footer -20px from the top of the next
//header/page ... 20px above the bottom of target page
//so make sure it is more negative than your footer's height.
height:10px;//notice that the top position subtracts
//more than the assigned height of the footer
}
}
</style>
HTML
<body>
<div style="page-break-after: always">
<div>This should be on top1</div>
</div>
<div style="page-break-after: always">
<div class="footer">This should be on bottom of page1</div>
<div>This should be on top2</div>
</div>
<div class="footer">This should be on bottom of page2</div>
</body>
Unfortunately there is no easy way to do this. Browsers do not offer a means of creating custom headers and footers for printing.
Your best bet is to place information you want on every page in the title tag found in the <head><title>YOUR COMMON CONTENT</title></head> It's not going to be the prettiest. It comes down to your requirements.
The other option is to use @media print (CSS) coupled with javascript to dynamically calculate and insert page breaks/gaps of white-space while inserting divs(your custom footer and or header) at absolute positions for the known paper size. Then after the print event dynamically change the format back.
