I have a form that generates a list I need to print.

That list, sometimes I will print only a few pages, so on each page, I need to have some data:

  • page number
  • balance from the previous page
  • caption header
  • records
  • final balance (last page)

Example:

rel

In research, I found the DOMPDF to print of html to PDF, but I don’t know if it would be the best option, and if it was, how does the break.

I would at least like a direction where to start, what is possible or not to do.

To repeat information on all printed pages, it is possible to use the tag THEAD.

Documentation and examples of the THEAD tag

Works normal in firefox/Chrome, but to do the THEAD repeat the data also in IE old it is necessary to have the css/hack below together on the page:

thead {display: table-header-group;}

To make the impression break page at a certain point, da para usar o css page-break-after along with the media print, defining page-break for some element of your html.

Example:

@media print {
    footer {page-break-after: always;}
}

More page-break-after details

Example of page-break-after running online:

<html>
    <head></head>
    <body>

        <table style="page-break-after: always">
            <tr>
                <td>asdsadsd</td>
            </tr>
        </table>
        <br/><br/>
        <div>
            qqqqqq
        </div>

    </body>
</html>

  • res, is it possible not to use CSS? It works inline page-break-after: always;?

  • I don’t know otherwise than CSS, otherwise it would have to be programmatically, within a FOR or something like, kind of "manual".

  • Yes, it works online, I added an executable example, that example in an html of his, when trying to print in firefox left the table in one page and div in another

  • So, but I’ll loop it. I’ll have to do a record counter and do an if to add the break per class in the tag. If I had something simpler, I wouldn’t even need the CSS to break. I’ll go into it. But thanks for now!

  • I did some tests and did not understand some things. Why use the THEAD, TBODY whether I will break into several tables my records <table style="page-break-after: always"> ? In test I did, the break does not work if not inserted directly into the <table>... that’s right?
