How to add page header/footer to wkhtmltopdf about cakepdf HOT 11 CLOSED

Since: #32 (found on #28)

You can set this in your options (all of which are passed to wkhtmltopdf):

$config = [
    'CakePdf' => [
        'engine' => 'CakePdf.WkHtmlToPdf',
        'options' => [
            'print-media-type' => false,
            'outline'          => true,
            'dpi'              => 96,
            'footer-center'     => 'foobar HERE © ' . date('Y'),
            'footer-right'     => 'Page [page] of [toPage]',
        ],
        'pageSize' => 'letter',
        'orientation' => 'landscape',
        'margin' => [
            'bottom' => 15,
            'left'   => 50,
            'right'  => 30,
            'top'    => 45
        ],

It looks like there are some forks which have better integration for these settings

Also how to set the page number also. Can I know this. Because this seems to be an important features. If you already did it, perhaps you can put it in a proper documentation.

Thanx

Hi zeroasterisk, nice info.
Does it support element to be set as header / footer also. I've seen quite a discussion about this in #83.

Do you happen to have a really good documentation on how to do this? Thanks

from cakepdf.

I have some example documentation with my PR on the README:
https://github.com/FriendsOfCake/CakePdf/pull/83/files#diff-04c6e90faac2675aa89e2176d2eec7d8R122

I haven't looked at this in a while, so the PR has not progressed, but I still think this is a good idea... header/footer being a very important piece of any PDF system. The truth is, you can make it work without my PR, my PR was tooling to try to make it simpler and more obvious... You can make a .html file and pass the path to that as an option to wkhtmltopdf and that should work.

Nice zeroasterisk, so we can just use $this->element('element') as our header and footer right.. Thanks!

Hi,

Is there any way to add html content to footer Like "Powered By with an image"??

Thanks In Advance,

@amitpanwar86 yes - just put it in the HTML as an <img with a full URL as the src

This code doesn't add any header/footer on my pdf..
Do you know why?
I'm using cakephp 3.1 and my cakepdf component is working on the engine WkHtmlToPdf.
This is my code:
$this->viewBuilder()->options([
'pdfConfig' => [
'filename' => 'audizione_' . $id.'.pdf',
//'print-media-type' => false,
//'outline' => true,
'dpi' => 500,
'margin' => [
'bottom' => 5,
'left' => 4,
'right' => 4,
'top' => 5
],
'orientation' => 'portrait',
'download' => true,
'header-html' =>'Ciao'
//'engine' => 'CakePdf.WkHtmlToPdf',
'options' => [
'print-media-type' => false,
'outline' => true,
'dpi' => 96,
'footer-center' => 'foobar HERE © ' . date('Y'),
'footer-right' => 'Page [page] of [toPage]',
],
]
]);

@filippogiordano please check wkhtmltopdf --version

from cakepdf.

I solved the problem with this configuration.
Configure::write('CakePdf', [
'engine' => [
'className' => 'CakePdf.WkHtmlToPdf',
'binary' => '/usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf',
'options' => [
'print-media-type' => false,
'outline' => true,
'dpi' => 500,
'header-html'=>"http://.....headeraddress",
'footer-html'=>"http://...footeraddress",
'footer-right'=>"Pag. [page] di [toPage]",
'header-spacing'=>1,
'footer-spacing' => '1',
],
],
'margin' => [
'bottom' => 20,
'left' => 20,
'right' => 20,
'top' => 45
],
'download' => false
]);

and adding to the first line of my header and footer html:
