laravel :- unable to set different size for different pages for single pdf

Question

I am trying to set big height and width for the first page and the smaller size for other pages.

I am using Thujohn\Pdf\PdfFacade library in laravel.

below is my code.

<html>
<head>
<style>
            <?php
                $pageWt = $drawing_width + 200; //very large size
                $pageHt = $drawing_height + 200;//very large size
            ?>
            @page { size: <?= $pageWt ?>px <?= $pageHt ?>px; }
            @page rotate { size: 400px 500px; }
            .pgbrk {
                page : rotate;
                font-size: 70px;
                page-break-before: always;
            }
        </style>
</head>
<body>
<img src="<?= URL::to('drawings/getDrawing?filepath=' . $filepath) ?>">
            <div class="pgbrk">
  some data
            </div>
<img src="<?= URL::to('drawings/getDrawing?filepath=' . $filepath) ?>">
            <div class="pgbrk">
  some data
            </div>
<img src="<?= URL::to('drawings/getDrawing?filepath=' . $filepath) ?>">
            <div class="pgbrk">
  some data
            </div>
<img src="<?= URL::to('drawings/getDrawing?filepath=' . $filepath) ?>">
            <div class="pgbrk">
  some data
            </div>
</body>
</html>

But above code sets same size for all pages.

I am expecting different sizes for pdf pages.

Do am I missing something. Please help.

I am passing filepath, drawing_width, drawing_height, some data from controller to view. and I know these have large number integer value. — vishal-mote, Jul 21 '15 at 06:10
instead of embedding php code for height and width value, just hard code it for the time being, see if that works. — Gaurav Dave, Jul 21 '15 at 07:02
http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-page/ on this link example 29 gave this kind of functionality. but even this is not working when I add in page-break-before: always; css in index class. this example code is hard coded even that one too not working. — vishal-mote, Jul 21 '15 at 07:08

dompdf does not yet support named pages. To achieve this with dompdf you would have to generate each page separately then combine them using another tool such as FPDI (see this answer, pdftk, or one of the many other options.

There are also some efforts to build support for merging PDFs using dompdf (e.g. this fork).
