tcpdf position footer at the bottom of the page

I am using tcpdf to add a pdf to an email that is sent out by the system. When the email arrives, the office opens it and prints off the pdf and posts it for customers not setup on the system for email. The problem is that when tcpdf generates the pdf's it is putting the footer directly under the contents of the letter. The problem with this is that the pdf is using the company's letterhead template and puts the header in the correct position, but the footer is supposed to go at the bottom of the page, but it moves according to the position of the content, where as for it to look like the same as their letterhead needs to be at the bottom.

I am currently using the following (I know the POSTS's are insecure, im sorting that one shortly when I go through everything) : 

    <?php

    $message = $_POST[emailformmessage];
    $cf_id = $_POST[cf_id];
    $leadname = $_POST[leadname];
    $postcode = $_GET[postcode];
    $address = $_GET[address];
    $date = $_GET[date];
    $town = $_GET[town];
    $business = $_POST[businessname];




    $html = "<html>
    <head>
    <style>

    .container {width:680px; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:44px;}

    .header {margin-left:50px; margin-right:50px; margin-top:15px;}

    .customeraddress {color:#000;margin-left:65px; margin-right:65px; margin-top:25px; text-align:left;}

    .delivered {color:#fff; background:#344EA2; margin-left:80px; margin-top:5px; text-align:center;padding:15px; margin-right:80px;}

    .titles_L {color:#fff; background:#13155C; margin-left:80px; margin-top:5px; text-align:center; padding:5px; width:250px; float:left; font-weight:bold;}

    .titles_R {color:#fff; background:#13155C; margin-top:5px; text-align:center; padding:5px; margin-right:80px; width:250px; float:left; font-weight:bold;}

    .terms {color:#fff;margin-left:80px; margin-top:5px; text-align:center;  padding:15px; margin-right:80px;}

    .footer {margin-left:50px; margin-top:5px; text-align:left; font-size:40px; padding:15px; margin-right:50px; color:#000; overflow:auto;}

    .footer a {}

Seems you only added an image in the footer, why not just use the Image Function

$pdf->AddPage();
$pdf->writeHTML($html, true, false, true, false, "");
$pdf->Image('http://key4design.co.uk/chandlers/images/chandlers_footer.jpg', 100, 350);
// reset pointer to the last page
$pdf->lastPage();

You might have to disable the default footer

$pdf->setPrintFooter(false);

$pdf->SetAutoPageBreak(false);

this will prevent tcpdf from auto generating next page and you can adjust your footer on the same page.
