I'm trying to hide the header page number on the first page using this example I found here. Which only works if I use it with footer-html and doesn't show/hide anything if I use it with header-html. Originally I was trying to augment this solution which also worked using footer-html, but since I couldn't get it to work in the header I kept on searching. I've tried it with and without 'header-center' => '[[page]]' in case using this with header-html caused conflicts. Anyone been able to get this to work in the headers recently? I'm using PHPWKHTMLtoPDF wrapper version 1.2.6-dev if that helps with a up to date version of WKHTMLtoPDF, since the newest version of PHPWKHTMLtoPDF uses namespaces and we're using CodeIgniter 2.x-dev, which doesn't support them (or play well can't remember).
// Create document PDF
$pdf = new $this->wkhtmltopdf;
// Locate WkHtmlToPdf executable for Windows
if( $pdf->getIsWindows() )
{
$pdf->setOptions( array( 'binPath' => 'C:\Program Files\wkhtmltopdf\bin\wkhtmltopdf.exe',
'no-outline',
'encoding' => 'UTF-8',
'margin-top' => 30,
'margin-right' => 20,
'margin-bottom' => 30,
'margin-left' => 20,
// Default page options
'disable-smart-shrinking',
'user-style-sheet' => 'pdf.css',
'header-html' => dirname(__FILE__) . '\..\views\wkhtmltopdf\header.html'
) );
}
// Generate document fields
$docInputs = $this->generate_inputs( $inputs, json_decode( $this->load->file( APPPATH . '/mapping/' . $document['mapping'], TRUE ), TRUE ) );
// Merge document fields into HTML exported Word files
$docHTML = $this->parser->parse( 'docs/' . $document['html'], $docInputs, TRUE );
// Add HTML as page, along with option for page header
$pdf->addPage( $docHTML, array( 'header-center' => '[[page]]',
'header-spacing' => '10',
'header-font-name' => 'Times New Roman'
) );
You need to add the <!DOCTYPE html>
to the header file, WKHTMLtoPDF issue #46 for version 0.12
I'm posting this answer because this happened to me and this might also be a reason.
I'v also noticed if you set the header css to this. It will not show the header.
html{
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
