can anyone tell me on how could I change the page size on the second (2nd) page using mpdf. My page size is A4 (by mpdf default).
I want to dynamically changed the width of second page of my report since it's dynamic content of table (e.g. number of columns is undefined)
If you know where your first page ends, you can use the AddPage() function to change the formatting of the next page.
$mpdf=new mPDF();
$mpdf->WriteHTML('Your Introduction');
$mpdf->AddPage('L','','','','',50,50,50,50,10,10);
$mpdf->WriteHTML('Your Book text');
$mpdf->AddPage('P','','','','',50,50,50,50,10,10);

I have a dinamically generated HTML content and want to generate a page-numbered PDF using mPDF. The problem is that when the content spans more than one page, the footer is only visible in the last page.
Example:
$mpdf->AliasNbPages('{PAGETOTAL}');
$mpdf->WriteHTML($content); // $content is dynamic, it can be a series of paragraphs resulting in a 3 or 4, or more, pages long pdf.
$mpdf->setFooter('{PAGENO}/{PAGETOTAL}'); // this only prints a footer in the last page, displaying for example "3/3", but the previous pages do not have footer
I want the footer in every page, but i don't know in advance how many pages I will have or where the pagebreaks will be.
Am I doing something wrong?
Try putting setFooter before WriteHTML
So, this way:
$mpdf->setFooter('{PAGENO}/{PAGETOTAL}');
$mpdf->WriteHTML($content);
I am using MPDF. My content of the page is dynamic. So even if the content enhances it doesn't make a page break. Rather the content shrinks and font size becomes smaller.
$mpdf = new \Mpdf\Mpdf();
$mpdf->SetDisplayMode('default');
$mpdf->WriteHTML($htmldata);
$mpdf->Output($name,"D");
Here $htmldata is my dynamic long html variable. Here's the sample of the pdf

mPDF resizes tables so that their parts fit the page.
See https://mpdf.github.io/troubleshooting/resizing.html
Use <table autosize="0"> to prevent most of this behaviour.
I am working on PDF generation using the MPDF library into a Drupal 8 project.
I am planning to put the table of contents (TOC) inside a <div> on the first page of my PDF.
For that, I created a <tocentry> tags and put the <tocpagebreak /> into my <div> of the first HTML page.
Unfortunately, the TOC is generated in a new page (i.e., page break is happening before and after the TOC).
How can I generate the TOC within my custom HTML structure and include it into my <div>?
By default the TOC goes at the bottom, but you can modify its position manually.
In mPDF's docs there's a nice example in which the TOC is before the content:
$mpdf = new \Mpdf\Mpdf();
$mpdf->WriteHTML('Introduction');
$mpdf->TOCpagebreak();
$mpdf->TOC_Entry("Chapter 1", 0);
$mpdf->WriteHTML('Chapter 1 ...');
$mpdf->Output();
Notice that TOCpagebreak() is invoked before TOC_Entry (the function that adds the entry to the TOC) and before WriteHTML('Chapter 1 ...'). This latter function adds content to the PDF.
By placing TOCpagebreak() before those functions, you make the TOC appear before the contents.
For more details, see mPDF docs on TOCpagebreak()
I am generating pdf from html source using mpdf library in php and everything seems working perfect.
Now I have an issue with the images. Suppose before page end I'm inserting an image but image is big so that it doesn't fit at the bottom of first page and goes to second page. Now I have a long white space at the end of first page because image moved to second page.
Now I want is "if next item to insert in pdf is an image then calculate the remaining size of pdf page if it is less than Image size then adjust the image size so that image can be fit in the pdf page instead of moving to next page" how can i do this here?
Please check the issue image :
If any one has other solution please help me to sort out.
Here's My sample code
include_once 'simple_html_dom.php'; //import html dom and mpdf library
include 'PDFScript/MPDF/mpdf.php';
$mpdf = new mPDF('','','','',15,15,30,15,8,8); //create mpdf object
$html = new simple_html_dom(); //create html dom object
$html = file_get_html("htmlsource.html"); //htmlsource.html is a webpage can contain any html data
$mpdf->WriteHTML($html); //write html source to pdf
$mpdf->Output(); //generate pdf
I got a solution from mpdf forum itself. If Anyone also has the same problem enclose every image in your html inside table as table has a autosize feature in mpdf library.

I'm using PHP MPDF to create PDF files. At the footer I'm able to print the current page number using
{PAGENO}
But how do I get the total number of pages in the PDF file? So that in the footer I can print like:
Page (Current Page) of (Total number of pages)
Page 1 of 6
According to the official documentation:
$mpdf=new mPDF();
$mpdf->setFooter("Page {PAGENO} of {nb}");
you can use {nb} it gives you total number of pages in mpdf
I use the following in my html header template :
{PAGENO}/{nb}
For example,on 1st of total of 3 pages, the result will be :
1/3
So, you can write it wherever you want in your HTML code like header, footer, body...
