I know this is an old, rather vague question, but in case others have this problem as I did:

It of course depends on the library, but using mPDF, table headers will repeats on multiple pages if you wrap your header and body in and tags:

  <table>
   <thead>
    <tr>
     <th>Head 1</th>
     <th>Head 2</th>
     <th>Head 3</th>
    </tr>
   </thead>
   <tbody>
    <tr>
     <td>1</td>
     <td>2</td>
     <td>3</td>
    </tr>    
    etc...  
   </tbody>
  </table>

It might help if you specifiy the PDF library you are using. I know that TCPDF supports spanning of tables across pages and it will repeat the table headers on every page, so you might check it out.

Check example 48 on the following page to see an example of table headers : http://www.tecnick.com/public/code/cp_dpage.php?aiocp_dp=tcpdf_examples
