correct aproach for stationery and content

[twoSGmbH]

Hello,

i've got a stationery with header and footer. in between those blocks should appear the content of every site. The stationery blocks should appear on every site so i put them in an object and added it to all pages via addObject. Now my problem is that i can't get the ezSetMargins to work. My thought was that i add the stationery object to all sites and then set the correct margin for the area in between the header and the footer so that the content would automatically break onto a new page before running into the footer and starts after the header on the new page.

what would be the correct aproach to achieve this?

thanks in advance

Here is a quick example on how to add header and footer while positioning the rest of its content using $pdf->ezSetMargins

<?php

include '../src/Cezpdf.php';

$pdf = new Cezpdf('a4', 'portrait', 'none', null);

$all = $pdf->openObject();
$pdf->saveState();
$pdf->setStrokeColor(0, 0, 0, 1);

// header line and text
$pdf->line(20, 822, 580, 822);
$pdf->addText(20, 800, 14, 'Repeating header line');
$pdf->line(20, 790, 580, 790);
// footer line and text
$pdf->line(20, 40, 578, 40);
$pdf->addText(20, 30, 8, 'Hello footer');
$pdf->addText(580, 30, 8, 'footer right aligned', 0, 'right');

$pdf->restoreState();
$pdf->closeObject();

$pdf->addObject($all,'all');

$pdf->ezSetMargins(100, 100, 50, 50);


$text = str_repeat(
    "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing elitr, sed diam nonumy eirmod tempor invidunt ut labore et dolore magna aliquyam erat, sed diam voluptua.

    , 20);

$pdf->ezText($text, 0, ['justification' => 'full']);


if (isset($_GET['d']) && $_GET['d']) {
    echo "<pre>";
    echo $pdf->ezOutput(true);
    echo "</pre>";
} else {
    $pdf->ezStream(['Content-Disposition' => 'readme.pdf']);
}

Please note: Using the ez* methods (like ezText and ezTable) may have side effects when using it inside $pdf->addObject
