Multiple page counters with MPDF - php

Let's assume that we want to generate a PDF document with three products with a very long description going across multiple pages.
The header is defined as $mpdf->setHeader('{PAGENO}');, which prints the current page number for the whole document.
Is there any way to have another (secondary) page counter for every product, so that the end result would be like "Document page: 5/10; Product page 2" for example using mPDF?

Page number print on header when total page greater than one in TCPDF

I have one specific problem in PDF.
My requirement is that i have to print page number in header of the page only when total page of pdf is greater than 1.
I think this is not possible because before completing whole pdf page we can get total page number.
I think you have any idea to apply my condition in TCPDF.
I have tried all function related page number nothing working.
Thanks In Advance.

mPDF invoice print multiple invoices in one page

So. I'm using mpdf 6.0 and my plan is to generate an invoice por every sale that is half page original for the client and the other half page as a copy for me.
But I can't seem to get the page division right. So I thought about using a custom page size. A5 in landscape mode. But when I need to print them they each take a full page. Is there any way to force 2 pdf pages per physical page. Or do I have to just treat the whole thing as one A4 page and just draw both invoices in the same page?
I'll try to improve the wording as soon as possible but right now I'm in a hurry.

how to display an image from second page in dom pdf?

I am new to dom pdf. I am loading footer image in all the pdf pages using DOM pdf.and banner image only in first page of pdf.
From second page i want to display another image in header part.
How can i achieve this?
The header and footer you use is DOM PDF are on every page the same. If you want to have different images on each page you can use your own css to archieve this.
If you only want page 1 to be different, you need to take a look [here].(dompdf: How to add header on every page except first?). That question is already treated.

Add title to webpage from database

I have a table in my database that has a page title, keywords, images and other content for every page. I want to write some code in PHP and MySQL to fetch that data and create the file that is an HTML or PHP file (by fetching the file name stored in table) and write the code to fetch the page title and other content for page into the file one by one for each row, so that if later on I want to increase one column in any page, I may able to do so by increasing one field or table only.
Why write out files when you can just have one page that examines the URL to determine what data from the database to use when returning the HTML?
You can see that StackOverflow has hundreds of thousands of question and answer webpages, but there is only one file serving all these pages. They are not saving a file for every question onto a hard drive.

Drupal 7 gallery teaser

I've created a simple gallery in Drupal using a custom content type. It's really just an article with an image field that can have an unlimited number of items. I've created a custom template for this content type (node--gallery.tpl.php) and for the full page I'm satisfied with the look and feel.
The one thing I'm stuck on is displaying only the first few images in the teaser. I want to display just the first row of images in the teaser (that first 3 images). In the template file, $content['field_images'] contains all the images for the gallery but print render($content['field_images'] outputs all the images (as I would expect).
So, how do I get Drupal to just output the first three items from $content['field_images']? An improvement I would be interested in is how would I get Drupal to output 3 random images although if I know how to cut down the number of images rendered I'm confident I can work that one out myself.
Instead of doing a var_dump or iterating over the array why not install the devel module and make use of its dpm() function which gives a nice output.
In your template, find the appropriate array structure that has the image file names in it. If you can't find it in $content, look at the var_dump output of $node. Write a for loop to iterate over the first three items and for each of these items call either theme_image() or if you have image styles you want to use, theme_image_style(). Pass in the appropriate configuration array to either using the file name you retrieved from the array.
