 Creating PDFs with multiple pages
=================================

###  On this page

1. [ Setting a page break ](#content-setting-a-page-break)
2. [ Adding page numbers ](#content-adding-page-numbers)

This package offers a couple of Blade directives to help you create PDFs with multiple pages.

Setting a page break
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To create a PDF with multiple pages, you can use the `@pageBreak` Blade directive in your view. Using this directive will result in a new page being created in the PDF document.

So if you have a view like this...

```

    Page 1

@pageBreak

    Page 2

```

... and you render this view using ...

```
Pdf::view('view-with-multiple-pages')->save($path);
```

... the resulting PDF will have two pages, one with "Page 1" and one with "Page 2".

Adding page numbers
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To add page numbers to your PDF, you can use the `@pageNumber` and `@totalPages` Blade directive in your view.

Imagine you have this footer view...

```

    This is page @pageNumber of @totalPages

```

... and you render this view using ...

```
Pdf::view('view-with-multiple-pages')->footerView('footer-view')->save($path);
```

... the resulting PDF will have a footer on each page, with the page number and the total number of pages.

> **Note:** `@pageNumber` and `@totalPages` only work with the Browsershot and Cloudflare drivers. The DOMPDF driver does not support these directives.
