Teufboy

Hi,
thanks for all who are working for this forum.

Someone could help me :

I generate a pdf and when i put :

$pdf->SetAutoPageBreak('auto','18');

--> no problem

But when I put

$pdf->SetAutoPageBreak('auto','22');

My server apache said "Out of Memory:Killed process 25081"

What's problem !!!

Thanks :-(

At a guess you're using FPDF.

If so the first parameter should be a true or false Boolean value.

What are your unit (pixels, cm etc) and what is your page size. Could it be that 22 (the bottom margin) exceeds the page size?

Teufboy

Yes FPDF !

You're right, so I put :

$pdf->SetAutoPageBreak('true','22');

But it style didn't work.

For my unit I didn't specify it, is it important ?

My page is a normal page A4.

My bottom page is about 5.5cm.

Thanks !

From fpdf manual

SetAutoPageBreak(boolean auto [, float margin])

Description
Enables or disables the automatic page breaking mode. When enabling, the second parameter is the distance from the bottom of the page that defines the triggering limit. By default, the mode is on and the margin is 2 cm.
Parameters
auto
Boolean indicating if mode should be on or off.
margin
Distance from the bottom of the page.

Therefore expecting a boolean and a float, not 2 strings.

$pdf->SetAutoPageBreak (true, 22);

By default, It is already on and the bottom margin is 2cm.

You didn't specify units so by default it will be millimeters.

So you would be setting it to 22mm or 2.2cm. If you had specified a unit measure of inches, you would be trying to set the bottom margin to 22 inches (so, yes, it does matter).

Ok that's right my problem was that I had a rectangle that was bigger than the page size, as you said.
Ok now I would like to draw my rectangle in the back of the pdf, so it can be bigger than the bottom page, is that right ??
How can I do it ???

No words to say, how it's kind to help me as you do !!!!
So juste thanks !!!

barand

I am not sure exactly what you are trying to do.

Teufboy

okay, sorry I'm late.
I'll try to explain what I wana do.

I want to put a rectangle in the back of the page, but the page must jump before the end of the rectangle. I'll try to draw it :

¦-------------------------------------------------------------------¦ <- Page PDf
¦ ¦
¦ ¦-----------------------------------------------------------¦ <-- rectangle on the back of the page
¦ ¦

¦ ¦

¦ ¦-----------------------------------------------------------¦ <- End of the rectangle ¦
¦--------------------------------------------------------------------¦ <- End of the page

Is it clear ??? I put an example...

Why do you want to change Autopagebreak om a page?

Shouldn't you be using the addpage function instead?

Teufboy

Didn't you see the pdf.gif ?
The text of the page is over the footer of the page.

   $pdf=new PDF('P','mm','A4');
   $pdf->Open();
   $pdf->SetAutoPageBreak('true','16'); <-- change for 56
   $pdf->AddPage();
   $pdf->AliasNbPages();

My footer :
// 5,5 cm of the bottom
$this->SetY(-55);

But if I put 16 to 56 it makes an error because of the yellow rectangle that is set :

   $this->SetFillColor(255,254,186);
   $this->Cell(191,266,'',1,0,'L',1);

How can I do to keep the rectangle and to SetAutoPageBreak at 56 ?
Please

You'd have to start by checking how much space is left on the page: from current position down to bottom margin. This is max rectangle height. Then you have to reduce this by whatever padding you want between the rectangle and its inner text. This is the max text height. Then you will have to add text to see how much space will be used up. If it goes beyond what you calculated as max text height, you'd have to start a new page instead. Unless you were at the top of the page, since you'd then have to break the text up in more than one piece for it to ever fit. You might even decide on some other threshold than top of page for this to occur to avoid having 90% of a page empty.

I do not remember if FPDF has "test output" that checks the required space without actually adding content. But you could always use a separate document with a blank page to find this out yourself before deciding if you should add text + rectangle or not.
