i am using dompdf as a plugin in codeigniter. it generates the pdf perfectly. but some problem are eating up me for some days.

  1. I want to put an image as header in every page of the generated pdf. i did it according to the tutorial given here.
    but no progress. i tried for images of all types(jpg,png,gif) in the same folder wheresript for pdf resides. it did not work. then i tried for setting the path variable for image and css as shown at http://code.google.com/p/dompdf/wiki/Usage .but i could not get a good example or tutorial for that. if any body has ever used this please help me.

  2. i also want to add watermark on every page. for that i am using

    $pdf->page_text(110, $h - 240, "TRIAL", Font_Metrics::get_font("verdana", "bold"),110, array(0.92, 0.92, 0.92), 0, -58);.

This works fine and generates watermark.but watermark comes over content.is there any thing to change the opacity of watermark. it is not changed by changing parameters in array.

3.at the end of every page ( except the last one) i want to put the text “continued..“. for that i am using 

$text = "Continued..";
  $width = Font_Metrics::get_text_width($text, $font, $size);
  $pdf->page_text($w - 16 - $width - 38, $y-15, $text, $font, $size, $color);

it puts the text in every page(as it should). is there any way to put text in all pages except the last one?

  1. how to set font which are not available in the lib file of dompdf?

    1) What, exactly, is the code you’re using? It sounds like you’re having success with inline script, just not images. So there could be a problem with your code.

    2) This is a problem with inline script. It is rendered after the HTML content meaning it displays on top of the HTML content. There used to be an opacity option when adding text via inline scripting, but I’m not sure it was ever working correctly. It has been removed from the 0.6.0 code base.

    You may have to wait for the next release, which will include more styling options that would enable what you want to do in HTML (specifically, fixed positioning and CSS translate).

    3) I’m not sure you can display a header on every page but the last. There is an option to stop an object from displaying, but it appears to only affect subsequent pages. So you’d have to add the relevant code to the page prior to the last page.

    4) If you want to add a font you need to be able to parse it using load_font.php. You will also need access to the executable ttf2afm (dompdf 0.5.1) or ttf2ufm (dompdf 0.6.0). There are instructions on how to load fonts, or you can also try a web-based font prep tool I developed.
