        $sql_chapter    =   mysqli_query($dbconn,"SELECT column1, column2, column3 FROM CHAPTER_DETAILS WHERE FORM_NAME='".$example['chapter']."' ");
        while($row_chapter=mysqli_fetch_array($sql_chapter))
        {
           $output  =   $row_chapter['column1']     ;
           $output1 =   fnFetchData($row_chapter['column2'],$row_chapter['column3'])     ;

           $pdf->MultiCell(200, 70, $output, 0, 'L', 0, 0, false);
           $pdf->MultiCell(250, 70, $output1, 0, 'L', 0, 0, false);
        }

You should add a new page with AddPage

$pdf->AddPage();

// Reset pointer to the last page
$pdf->lastPage();

// Close and output PDF document
$pdf->Output('test.pdf', 'I');

It should work fine

EDIT

while($example = mysqli_fetch_array($sql))
 {
    $pdf->startPage() ; // you can also use AddPage();


    $sql_chapter    =   mysqli_query($dbconn,"SELECT column1, column2, column3 FROM CHAPTER_DETAILS WHERE FORM_NAME='".$example['chapter']."' ");
    while($row_chapter=mysqli_fetch_array($sql_chapter))
    {
       $output  =   $row_chapter['column1']     ;
       $output1 =   fnFetchData($row_chapter['column2'],$row_chapter['column3'])     ;

       $pdf->MultiCell(200, 70, $output, 0, 'L', 0, 0, false);
       $pdf->MultiCell(250, 70, $output1, 0, 'L', 0, 0, false);
    }
    $pdf->endPage() ; // only if you use startPage();
 }
$pdf->Output('test.pdf', 'I');
