To make an image or a PDF page as background or template for the forms:
- Use any pdf file as background image for pdf report:
- Pput the pdf template file in reporting/forms folder;
- After creating FrontReport object call SetHeaderType() method passing basename of the template file;
- Refer reporting/includes/header2.inc - this is typical template file for document layout.
To add any additional constant elements printed on every page (like titles, additional graphics):
- Create *.php file with the same base name.
- Place it in the reporting/forms folder.
- Put any needed code in it.
How the template page is used:
- The pages in template file are used in cycle.
- If there is only one page in template file - this page will be used for every page of report generated.
- If your template has 3 pages and the generated report has 4 - the last page of report will use page 1 as background again.
