tcpdf if cell bigger than free space jump to new page

Hi i need a way to make content create in new page if it bigger than page free area enter image description here

Solution

  • The CSS property page-break-inside: avoid; on an element will start it on the next page if it would otherwise be split by a page break. I have confirmed this property works with TCPDF.

    Some example code:

    <?php

require_once('./tcpdf-master/tcpdf.php');

$pdf = new TCPDF(PDF_PAGE_ORIENTATION, PDF_UNIT, PDF_PAGE_FORMAT, true, 'UTF-8', false);
$pdf->AddPage();

$html = <<<EOD

EOD;

$pdf->writeHTMLCell( 0, 0, '', '', $html, 0, 1, false, true, 'C' );
$pdf->Output('page-break.pdf', 'I');

    This will output a PDF like this:

    PDF with page-break-inside: avoid on the paragraphs

    Whereas without the style="page-break-inside: avoid;" parts, it will output this:

    PDF without page-break-inside: avoid
