For example Page 1 of 5.
There's an example online of how to get teh Page 1 part but not the of 5 part. This is it:
.pagenum:before { content: "Page " counter(page); }
I'm using version 0.6 and $PAGE_NUM and $PAGE_COUNT does not work.
For people coming here using a new version of DomPdf
Since dompdf 0.7.0, the dompdf_config.inc.php file has been removed (and is no longer referenced): all dompdf options should be set at run time.
This means you have to create a new instance of Options class
$domPdfOptions = new Options();
And then you may enable PHP inline using the following line
$domPdfOptions->set("isPhpEnabled", true);
The rest of the codes are correct and will show a page number and page count
<script type="text/php">
if (isset($pdf))
{
$x = 72;
$y = 18;
$text = "{PAGE_NUM} of {PAGE_COUNT}";
$font = $fontMetrics->get_font("helvetica", "bold");
$size = 6;
$color = array(255,0,0);
$word_space = 0.0; // default
$char_space = 0.0; // default
$angle = 0.0; // default
$pdf->page_text($x, $y, $text, $font, $size, $color, $word_space, $char_space, $angle);
}
</script>
Update
As pointed out by #london-smith, this also works for DomPDF 0.8.1
By default, inline PHP is disabled for security reasons, you need to enable it yourself in dompdf_config.custom.inc.php. See here.
For now, total page count is not supported with the CSS you are using, we are planning to make it work in 0.6 final though.
Check you have enabled inline_pdf in dompdf.
Use this code, you can put where you like, it gets the height and width of the document and puts the page/total_pages at the bottom right.
<script type = "text/php">
if ( isset($pdf) ) {
$pdf->page_script('
if ($PAGE_COUNT > 1) {
$font = Font_Metrics::get_font("Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif", "normal");
$size = 12;
$pageText = $PAGE_NUM . "/" . $PAGE_COUNT;
$y = $pdf->get_height() - 24;
$x = $pdf->get_width() - 15 - Font_Metrics::get_text_width($pageText, $font, $size);
$pdf->text($x, $y, $pageText, $font, $size);
}
');
}
Seen at the end of this page
See the attachment named issue121.php on this bug report. Worked for me. As I understand it you can't echo the page num but you can draw it somewhere.
http://code.google.com/p/dompdf/issues/detail?id=121
Hi this is mi full code... after all the HTML put this..
<?
require_once("dompdf/dompdf_config.inc.php");
$dompdf = new DOMPDF();
$dompdf->load_html(ob_get_clean());
$dompdf->render();
$canvas = $dompdf->get_canvas();
$font = Font_Metrics::get_font("helvetica", "bold");
$canvas->page_text(512, 10, "Página: {PAGE_NUM} de {PAGE_COUNT}",$font, 8, array(0,0,0));
$filename = "yourNameConvention".date("Y-m-d").'.pdf';
$dompdf->stream($filename);
?>
Test with a simple file, then put all the relevant code with querys, etc.. etc..
I dont know which kind of content you want to render.
I got a bunch of pictures and a maximal Pictures per Site constant.
So a function gives me the site number (total/max) and then I got everything I need to start creating the pdf.
#for ($i = 1;$i <= $pages; $i++)
#if ($i !== 1)
<div style="page-break-before: always;"></div>
#endif
#Code for each Site
#end
Thats how I seperate my Sites and their I also got $pages as a blade variable.
<div class="info_footer">
Page <span class="pagenum"></span> / {{$pages}}
</div>
With Stylesheet:
.pagenum:before { content: counter(page); }
In php, you can access dompdf variables:
$PAGE_NUM the current page number
$PAGE_COUNT the total number of pages in the document
more info http://code.google.com/p/dompdf/wiki/Usage
$PAGE_COUNT is the total number of pages.
Example
<script type="text/php">
if (isset($pdf) ) {
echo $PAGE_COUNT;
}
</script>

If you are using an old version where this is not supported, upgrade. Otherwise, you may be out of luck.

Following is my code which prints "HELLO", then a dotted line. This thing gets repeated 50 times. Everything is working fine but when 2nd page starts, dotted lines disappear. What modification is required in this code?
<?php
require("fpdf.php");
class PDF extends FPDF
{
function SetDash($black=null, $white=null)
{
if($black!==null)
$s=sprintf('[%.3F %.3F] 0 d',$black*$this->k,$white*$this->k);
else
$s='[] 0 d';
$this->_out($s);
}
}
$pdf = new PDF('P', 'mm', 'A4');
$pdf->AliasNbPages();
$pdf->AddPage();
$margin = 0;
$pdf->SetFont('Arial','B',12);
for ($i = 0; $i < 50; $i++)
{
$pdf->Cell(90, 10, "Hello", 0, 1);
$pdf->SetDrawColor(0,0,0);
$pdf->SetDash(2,2);
$margin = $margin + 10;
$pdf->Line(10,$margin,200,$margin);
}
$pdf->Output();
?>
You're incrementing the value of your $margin variable by 10 after each line even if a page break occurs in the middle of the loop. Thus, the top margin of the first line on the second page will be 10 millimeters greater than the top margin of the last line on the first page.
You need to reset the margin when a new page is added.
A solution for this problem would be to override FPDF's AcceptPageBreak method. This method intercepts the adding of a new page when the bottom of a page is reached.
class PDF extends FPDF
{
var $lineY = 0;
// ...
function AcceptPageBreak()
{
$this->lineY = 0;
return parent::AcceptPageBreak();
}
}
Then, in your loop, you can do:
$pdf->Line(10, $pdf->lineY, 200, $pdf->lineY);
Hi I'm using FPDF and FPDI, I'm using FPDI to concatenate several PDFs then using FPDF to fill in the information based on a form that is filled out, I've setup a SetPage method within FPDF to be able to set the page on which I'm working on, I'm able to write on the first file completely fine (first 3 pages). However, when I'm trying to write on the second file (4th and continuing pages), I use the SetXY and Write but nothing is written, I am able to add an image (barcode at the bottom of the page) but no text, any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong?
This is the code that I've got to concatenate the files:
<?php
session_start();
require_once('lib/pdf/fpdf.php');
require_once('lib/pdi/fpdi.php');
require_once('lib/barcode/class/BCGFontFile.php');
require_once('lib/barcode/class/BCGColor.php');
require_once('lib/barcode/class/BCGDrawing.php');
require_once('lib/barcode/class/BCGcode39extended.barcode.php');
$contractType = $_SESSION['addition'];
require_once('barcode.php');
if(isset($contractType))
{
$files = array('lib/blank/NDA.pdf');
if($contractType = 'artist')
{
array_push ($files,
'lib/blank/Distro.pdf',
'lib/blank/Management-Trial.pdf'
);
} else {
echo "Whoops! Something must've happened when you were filling out your contracts! Please try filling them out again. Sorry!";
}
}
$pdf = new FPDI();
foreach ($files AS $file) {
$pageCount = $pdf->setSourceFile($file);
for($n = 1; $n <= $pageCount; $n++) {
$tmpIdx = $pdf->importPage($n);
$size = $pdf->getTemplateSize($tmpIdx);
if($size['w'] > $size['h']) {
$pdf->AddPage('L', array($size['w'], $size['h']));
} else {
$pdf->AddPage('P', array($size['w'], $size['h']));
}
$pdf->useTemplate($tmpIdx);
}
}
//NDA FILLER
include('lib/filler/NDA.php');
//Distro Contract Filler
include('lib/filler/Distro.php');
//session_unset();
$pdf->Output();
?>
This is the code for filling out the first PDF (which works completely fine):
NDA.php
<?php
//ID No.
$idcoded = 'idbars/'.$_SESSION['name'].'.png';
/*
for($p = 2; $p <= $pages; $p++)
{
$pdf->Image($idcoded,0,350);
$pdf->setPage($p);
}
*/
$pdf->SetPage(1);
$pdf->Image($idcoded,0,350);
$pdf->SetFont('Helvetica');
$pdf->SetTextColor(255, 0, 0);
//NDA DATE
$pdf->SetXY(51, 109.5);
$pdf->Write(0, date(d));
$pdf->SetXY(72, 109.5);
$pdf->Write(0, date(F));
//Legal Name
$pdf->SetXY(72, 114.5);
$pdf->Write(0, $_SESSION['name']);
//stage Name
$pdf->SetXY(80, 119.5);
$pdf->Write(0, $_SESSION['sname']);
$pdf->setPage(2);
$pdf->Image($idcoded,0,350);
$pdf->setPage(3);
$pdf->Image($idcoded,0,350);
$signature = 'idbars/'.$_SESSION['name'].'_sig.png';
$pdf->Image($signature,20,105,100);
?>
This is what I'm using to try to write on the second PDF, I've tried combining the NDA.php and Distro.php into one file and that makes no difference
Distro.php
<?php
$pdf->SetPage(4);
$pdf->SetXY(10,10);
$pdf->Cell(0, $_SESSION['name']);
$pdf->Write(0, $_SESSION['name']);
$pdf->Image($idcoded,0,350);
?>
The page that this is building works off of this form:
https://secure.gr8label.com/sign/artist/Dev%20Test/
FPDF "caches" the font information that is currently used. As you jump back to another page FPDF "thinks" that the font is already defined/set but in the PDF file itself it isn't. You should set your font and size in your import loop, to ensure that the font is available on all pages (I think it also could work, by defining it only on the first one).
Anyhow you should have seen that jumping between written pages results in problems and you should create a logic which creates the file from top to bottom without using things like "SetPage()" at all.
Alright so first things first:
I've searched over this site for 6+ hours and I keep coming up with the same results. The main answer I keep getting is: How to Generate Barcode using PHP and Display it as an Image on the same page
But this is not working for me. Even the answer on that page that was accepted ends with "After you have added all the codes, you will get this way:" which is so vague I feel like I'm supposed to already be an expert to understand it. I'm getting frustrated with this problem because I cannot seem to find any "moron directions" that can help me understand how everything works in this library for barcode generator for php.
Here is what I have:
I'm using fpdf to print a pdf file which works great!
Page Name: PrintMyPDF.php
<?php

This prints up my pdf beautifully! Now I wanted to add a barcode on the page that will represent the order number for scanning purposes.
Now here is what I have for my code that contains the barcode... code.
Name of barcode page: BarCodeIt.php
<?php
function BarCodeIt($MyID) {
// Including all required classes
require_once('./class/BCGFontFile.php');
require_once('./class/BCGColor.php');
require_once('./class/BCGDrawing.php');
// Including the barcode technology
require_once('./class/BCGcode39.barcode.php');
// Loading Font
$font = new BCGFontFile('./font/Arial.ttf', 18);
// Don't forget to sanitize user inputs
$text = isset($_GET['text']) ? $_GET['text'] : $MyID;
// The arguments are R, G, B for color.
$color_black = new BCGColor(0, 0, 0);
$color_white = new BCGColor(255, 255, 255);
$drawException = null;
try {
$code = new BCGcode39();
$code->setScale(2); // Resolution
$code->setThickness(30); // Thickness
$code->setForegroundColor($color_black); // Color of bars
$code->setBackgroundColor($color_white); // Color of spaces
$code->setFont($font); // Font (or 0)
$code->parse($text); // Text
} catch(Exception $exception) {
$drawException = $exception;
}
/* Here is the list of the arguments
1 - Filename (empty : display on screen)
2 - Background color */
$drawing = new BCGDrawing('', $color_white);
if($drawException) {
$drawing->drawException($drawException);
} else {
$drawing->setBarcode($code);
$drawing->draw();
}
//Header that says it is an image (remove it if you save the barcode to a file)
header('Content-Type: image/png');
header('Content-Disposition: inline; filename="barcode.png"');
// Draw (or save) the image into PNG format.
$drawing->finish(BCGDrawing::IMG_FORMAT_PNG);
}
?>
Now in my PDF file just before this line:
$pdf->Output();
I have added this:
$pdf->AddPage('P');
$pdf->SetDisplayMode(real,'default');
require('/BarCodeIt.php');
$MyBarCode = BarCodeIt($thisorderID);
echo $MyBarCode;
But what it does is all of my other pdf elements disappear and I'm left with only a big barcode (the right one! that part works) but that's all that is on the screen. It's like when the barcode section runs it negates everything else and just prints the barcode. I want to print just the barcode where I want it on the PDF but I'm not clever enough to figure out what I'm doing wrong. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
In $pdf->SetDisplayMode(real,'default');, real is not an identifier. I believe you've forgotten the $ prefix.
Have you warnings reporting at maximum level? If not, include:
error_reporting(E_ALL);
in your script and see that it shows additional issues.
I'm not familiar with fpdf, but what you are doing seems wrong just by looking at it: Everywhere you add elements to your pdf by using methods on your $pdf object like $pdf->... and when you want to add the barcode, you echo it out directly.
Don't echo your image out. Instead get rid of the header() calls in your barcode script, save your image and look for the right method to add an image to the $pdf object.
Here is a question with answers that deals with adding an image: Inserting an image with PHP and FPDF
This looks like the simplest thing but I can't get it to work.
I need to add text to the first page of a multi-page pdf (could be any number of pages)
Using this code on a two page pdf (without the for loop, just using $pdf->importPage(2)) I end up with two pages but the second page is a repeat of page one. The text is written on the first page only which is good but I need all pages included in the output pdf. Here is my code
// Original file with multiple pages
$fullPathToFile = 'full/path/to/file.pdf';
class PDF extends FPDI {
var $_tplIdx;
function Header() {
global $fullPathToFile;
if (is_null($this->_tplIdx)) {
$this->setSourceFile($fullPathToFile);
$this->_tplIdx = $this->importPage(1);
}
$this->useTemplate($this->_tplIdx);
}
function Footer() {}
}
// initiate PDF
$pdf = new PDF();
$pdf->setFontSubsetting(true);
// add a page
$pdf->AddPage();
// The new content
$pdf->SetFont("helvetica", "B", 14);
$pdf->Text(10,10,'Some text here');
// How to get the number of pages of original pdf???
// $numPages = $pdf->getNumPages(???);
// Carry on adding all remaining pages starting from page 2
for($i=2;$i<=$numPages;$i++) {
// Add another page
$pdf->AddPage();
// Do I need to declare the source file here?
// $pdf->setSourceFile($fullPathToWD);
$pdf->importPage($i);
}
// Output the file as forced download
$pdf->Output('theNewFile.pdf', 'D');

Solved my problem...
// Original file with multiple pages
$fullPathToFile = 'full/path/to/file.pdf';
class PDF extends FPDI {
var $_tplIdx;
function Header() {
global $fullPathToFile;
if (is_null($this->_tplIdx)) {
// THIS IS WHERE YOU GET THE NUMBER OF PAGES
$this->numPages = $this->setSourceFile($fullPathToFile);
$this->_tplIdx = $this->importPage(1);
}
$this->useTemplate($this->_tplIdx);
}
function Footer() {}
}
// initiate PDF
$pdf = new PDF();
$pdf->setFontSubsetting(true);
// add a page
$pdf->AddPage();
// The new content
$pdf->SetFont("helvetica", "B", 14);
$pdf->Text(10,10,'Some text here');
// THIS PUTS THE REMAINDER OF THE PAGES IN
if($pdf->numPages>1) {
for($i=2;$i<=$pdf->numPages;$i++) {
$pdf->endPage();
$pdf->_tplIdx = $pdf->importPage($i);
$pdf->AddPage();
}
}
// Output the file as forced download
$pdf->Output('theNewFile.pdf', 'D');
You get the number of pages by adding the first part of this line
$this->numPages = $this->setSourceFile($fullPathToFile);
And see the second last block of code - the for loop adds the remainder of the pages.
Don't know if this is how it should be done? I read in a few places that it wasn't even possible to achieve this, also the code is not supplied in the docs. However, this works, hope it helps someone.
I struggled with this a little and tried to come up with simplest way to add some text to the last page of a multi-page document. Here is the very simple code that worked for me:
require_once('fpdf/fpdf.php');
require_once('fpdf/fpdi.php');
$pdf = new FPDI();
$fullPathToPDF = '/usr/local/common/my.pdf';
$pageCount = $pdf->setSourceFile($fullPathToPDF);
for ($i = 1; $i <= $pageCount; $i++) {
$pdf->importPage($i);
$pdf->AddPage();
$pdf->useTemplate($i);
}
$pdf->SetFont('Helvetica');
$pdf->SetXY(110, 225);
$pdf->Write(8, 'A complete document imported with FPDI');
$pdf->Output($fullPathToPDF);
Just change the full path to file to a location where you have a multi-page PDF.
$pdf = new TCPDF('P', 'mm', 'A4', true, 'UTF-8', false);
...
$pdf->SetMargins(10, 10, 10);
$pdf->SetAutoPageBreak(true, 10);
foreach($array as $item)
{
$pdf->AddPage(); //add new page for new item
$txt = some_long_long_text;
$pdf->Write(0, $txt, '', 0, 'C', true);
$pdf->endPage(); //do end of page
$pdf->lastPage(); //set cursor at last page, because autopagebreak not do it
}
In example, you have 10 pupils in array, and you need create resume for each. In exam, one resume have 3 pages. So in out u get pdf with 30 pages, with correct text.
SetAutoPageBreak(true, 10), not set cursor at last page, so you need to do it manually with function $pdf->lastPage();
that code wont work, try this:
$pdf = new PDI();
$pdf->AddPage();
$pdf->setSourceFile('zzz.pdf');
$pdf->numPages = $pdf->setSourceFile('zzz.pdf');
$tplIdx = $pdf->importPage(1);
$pdf->useTemplate($tplIdx, 10, 20, 200);
if($pdf->numPages>1) {
for($i=2;$i<=$pdf->numPages;$i++) {
$pdf->AddPage();
$tplIdx = $pdf->importPage($i);
$pdf->useTemplate($tplIdx, 10, 20, 200);
}
}
I've been struggling with the header and footer data for quite some time now and thought it was time to ask it here on the forum.
What I'm trying to do is decide that if a page is added if the header / footer should be added or not. so code-wise I want to set the header/footer to on or off when adding a page.
I've tried to manipulate the function AddPage by setting an extra argument $setFooterHeader which default is set to true. And then trying to set this argument to false whenever I do an addPage('','',false); but it ignores it for some reason and I can't figure out why.
If I set the default value of the argument to false in the function itself it works like a charm, but when I try to do it in my script and set it as an argument, it totally ignores it.
Here's a code snippet of the fpdf.php file (function addPage)
function AddPage($orientation='', $size='', $setHeaderFooter=true)
{
// Start a new page
if($this->state==0)
$this->Open();
$family = $this->FontFamily;
$style = $this->FontStyle.($this->underline ? 'U' : '');
$fontsize = $this->FontSizePt;
$lw = $this->LineWidth;
$dc = $this->DrawColor;
$fc = $this->FillColor;
$tc = $this->TextColor;
$cf = $this->ColorFlag;
if($this->page>0)
{
// Page footer
if ($setHeaderFooter == true)
{
$this->InFooter = true;
$this->Footer();
$this->InFooter = false;
// Close page
$this->_endpage();
}
}
// Start new page
$this->_beginpage($orientation,$size,$setHeaderFooter);
// Set line cap style to square
$this->_out('2 J');
// Set line width
$this->LineWidth = $lw;
$this->_out(sprintf('%.2F w',$lw*$this->k));
// Set font
if($family)
$this->SetFont($family,$style,$fontsize);
// Set colors
$this->DrawColor = $dc;
if($dc!='0 G')
$this->_out($dc);
$this->FillColor = $fc;
if($fc!='0 g')
$this->_out($fc);
$this->TextColor = $tc;
$this->ColorFlag = $cf;
// Page header
if ($setHeaderFooter == true)
{
$this->InHeader = true;
$this->Header();
$this->InHeader = false;
}
// Restore line width
if($this->LineWidth!=$lw)
{
$this->LineWidth = $lw;
$this->_out(sprintf('%.2F w',$lw*$this->k));
}
// Restore font
if($family)
$this->SetFont($family,$style,$fontsize);
// Restore colors
if($this->DrawColor!=$dc)
{
$this->DrawColor = $dc;
$this->_out($dc);
}
if($this->FillColor!=$fc)
{
$this->FillColor = $fc;
$this->_out($fc);
}
$this->TextColor = $tc;
$this->ColorFlag = $cf;
}

Your help is greatly appreciated!!
I have solved this issue by setting a flag outside the class and use this flag in the header and footer function
The fix is in the page section, not in the addPage function
Just before doing an $pdf->addPage You set the flag as addPage automatically calls the header and footer function.
Here's the correct code (snippet of PHP script which uses FPDF)
/** PHP FPDF */
require_once 'classes/FPDF/fpdf.php';
require_once 'classes/FPDI/fpdi.php';
class PDF extends FPDI
{
function Header()
{
if ($this->header == 1)
{
$this->SetFont( 'Arial', 'B', 18 ); //set font to Arial, Bold, and 16 Size
//create heading with params
//0 - 100% width
//9 height
//"Page Heading" - With this text
//1 - border around it, and center aligned
//1 - Move pionter to new line after writing this heading
//'C' - center aligned
$this->Cell( 0, 9, 'Page Heading', 1, 1, 'C' );
$this->ln( 5 );
}
}
function Footer()
{
if ($this->footer == 1)
{
//move pionter at the bottom of the page
$this->SetY( -15 );
//set font to Arial, Bold, size 10
$this->SetFont( 'Arial', 'B', 10 );
//set font color to blue
$this->SetTextColor( 52, 98, 185 );
$this->Cell( 0, 10, 'Footer Text', 0, 0, 'L' );
//set font color to gray
$this->SetTextColor( 150, 150, 150 );
//write Page No
$this->Cell( 0, 10, 'Page No: ' . $this->PageNo(), 0, 0, 'R' );
}
}
}
// Create new PDF object
$pdf = new PDF('P','mm','A4');
$pdf->header = 0;
$pdf->footer = 0;
$pdf->addPage('','',false);
// Output pdf file
$pdf->Output('test.pdf','D');
I know you found out the awnser already for yourself, but as one of the commenters pointed out this didn't work for me with the footer.
The good news is you can do without setting the external flags. You can use $this->PageNo() to determine whether to include the header and footer or not.
For instance if you'd want to exclude the header and footer on the first page, like I did:
function Footer() {
if($this->PageNo() != 1){
// footer code
}
}
If you'd want to let's say exclude them on several pages and not write an endless if statement you should just put the page numbers to exclude in an array and check with in_array() whether the header and/or footer should be included.
You can define multiple different types of headers and footers by calling functions outside the class:
class PDF extends FPDF {
function Header(){
if(!empty($this->enableheader))
call_user_func($this->enableheader,$this);
}
function Footer(){
if(!empty($this->enablefooter))
call_user_func($this->enablefooter,$this);
}
}
$pdf = new PDF('P');
$pdf->SetTextColor(0);
$pdf->SetFont('Arial','B',10);
$pdf->AliasNbPages();
$pdf->AddPage();
$pdf->Cell(50,6,'Headerless & Footerless page');
$pdf->enableheader = 'header1';
$pdf->AddPage();
$pdf->enablefooter = 'footer1';
$pdf->AddPage();
$pdf->AddPage();
$pdf->enableheader = 'header2';
$pdf->AddPage();
$pdf->enablefooter = 'footer2';
$pdf->Output();
function header1($pdf){
$pdf->Cell(50,6,'Header type 1',1,0,'L');
}
function footer1($pdf){
$pdf->SetY(280);
$pdf->Cell(50,6,'Footer type 1',1,0,'L');
$pdf->Cell(0,6,"Page: {$pdf->PageNo()} of {nb}",1,0,'R');
}
function header2($pdf){
$pdf->Cell(50,6,'Header type 2',1,0,'L');
}
function footer2($pdf){
$pdf->SetY(280);
$pdf->Cell(50,6,'Footer type 2',1,0,'L');
$pdf->Cell(0,6,"Page: {$pdf->PageNo()} of {nb}",1,0,'R');
}
The trick to footers is that the footer is added when the next page is created, with the last footer being added when the output is closed.
Therefore, you have to define the header before the page is added, and the footer afterwards but before the next page.
