How to paginate the PDF while using mpdf to generate PDF file from HTML

I'm using MPDF to generate PDF from HTML. It works perfectly fine while I made the HTML string and pass it to the PDF generator. But I find out it's not enough. How could I change the current page to the next page. I mean in HTML string. For example, if you're making some PDF for the delivery forms on your website. You want to make every form start with a fresh new page. But the MPDF will auto paginate the HTML content which might cannot fit your need. How can I deal with this part? I'm getting confused. I try to read the source code,but the code is too much. And there's not enough comment inside. I hope there's some one who familiar with the MPDF lib. The version of MPDF which I'm using is v5.4 by the way.

Even i had the problem of breaking the page in mpdf. For that you should use addPage() of mpdf or <pagebreak />

$mpdf->AddPage();

or

<pagebreak />

using either of the above, you can force page breaks in mpdf, check this for more reference

Unclear exactly what you need, but this might get you going.

If you have a multiple forms and you want those forms to be on their own pages, you have a couple possible solutions:

  1. You could iterate over the forms and use $mpdf->AddPage(); at the end of each form

  2. If you have an entire string and the forms are all together, you could use the html tag <pagebreak /> to signal a break where you'd like.

Reference the docs for further information, if needed. Hope it helps.
