Some doubts in wp-mpdf

    I am not well versed with CSS and PHP. I would like to do the following in this (wp-mpdf) plugin. Can you please help?

    a) Change the header to include my own header and an image file?
    b) Align the PDF output? For example, some pages are not aligned and formatted properly. But it appears to be correct in the site. I would like to check where I need to make adjustments
    c) I would like to convert to PDF only for selected pages. Is it possible to do this using blacklist/whitelist option? If yes, how can this be done?

    Thanks for all your help and loveable plugin

    a) If you use the whitelist method you can select which pages should be printable with the plugin (I think thats what you need)

    b and c) You have a wp-mpdf-themes folder in wp-content there you have to manipulate the PDF and CSS file to fit your needs (center content, change the Header and Footer) The best way is to copy default.php and default.css and name it something like myTemplate.php and myTemplate.css after that select the new created template in the settings menu.

    Thanks a lot for your reply. I am able to finish the first point. Able to filter using whitelist/blacklist. Thanks for your help.

    I actually did what you said before posting this thread, like copying css and php to another names and manipulated. Problem is, because of my incompetency level on css and php, I am not able to find out which one to modify. For example, I would like to do the following

    a) Create my own header and add a image in the header file
    b) create my own footer.
    c) Due to some reason, the first page of PDF has huge blanks in the beginning. I would like to eliminate this.

    Sorry to bother you with this

    Thanks

    a) you can try to set $pdf_html_header = true; in the template php file and then write HTML code to $pdf_header for example $pdf_header = ‘Hello <img src=”myImage.png”/>’; but i am not sure if images are supported at the header and footer

    b) The same for the footer you can take a look into $pdf_footer which generates the footer or you can set $pdf_html_footer = true; and then write $pdf_footer = ‘Some HTML’;

    c) I can’t help you with that looks like there is a problem with your blog post.
