change top margin of second page using mPDF

Question

I'm dynamically generating PDFs with an unknown page count. mPDF is working good, but the top margin on the second page is gone. How can I set the margins for all pages with the document?

I've tried the following, but it has no effect:

$mpdf = new mPDF('', '', 0, '', 15, 15, 15, 15, 8, 8);

how you are creating page ....have you tried AddPage...command — Ammar Hayder Khan, May 14 '13 at 08:24
@aligarian I can't use add page because the length of the page is unknown. I can't break it an any specific point. The second page is the continuation from the first — Paul Dessert, May 14 '13 at 08:28

You can use something like this. it seems to work.

define the margins using @page like:

<?php
    include("mpdf.php");
    $html='<style>@page {
     margin: 0px;
    }</style>


    ';
    $mpdf=new mPDF('','A4');
    $mpdf->WriteHTML($html);
    $mpdf->Output();
    ?>

`@page` styles makes it impossible to have a header or footer in my experience. – Jake Jul 18 '20 at 01:04

I was able to find an answer. Here it is in case anyone needs it:

define the margins using @page like:

@page *{
    margin-top: 2.54cm;
    margin-bottom: 2.54cm;
    margin-left: 3.175cm;
    margin-right: 3.175cm;
}
</style>';

it also needs to be pointed out that @page selector should be the first selector in the CSS otherwise it can be ignored by mPDF. – Michael Tunnell Jul 25 '13 at 06:15

This did not do anything for me. Removed the asterisk, and it worked. `@page` styles make it impossible to have a header or footer in my experience so far. – Jake Jul 18 '20 at 01:07

Faced with the same problem, it helped me to set the margin_footer->0

$mpdf=new \Mpdf\Mpdf(['margin_footer' => 0]);
