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
mPDF does not support Bootstrap styles entirely. An option would be some alternative such as headless-chrome based wkhtmltopdf .
one of the mpdf guy told that bootstrap not supported out-of-the-box inside mpdf and you have to use some custom style. Github link
Hope this will help to solve your problem.
In my case, I'm using Bootstrap 3.3.7 with MPDF version 6.0. It's working perfectly without any error.
$stylesheet = file_get_contents('css/bootstrap-3.3.7.min.css');
$pdf->WriteHTML($stylesheet, 1); // CSS Script goes here.
$pdf->WriteHTML($html, 2); //HTML Content goes here.
$pdf->Output();
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.
remove
@media
blocks from bootstrap style file drop and use basic css commands
