Issues with header and footer templates #77

Open

Description

@kimmobrunfeldt

This issue gathers a lot of issues with PDF header and footer templates. They are not as flexible as I and apparently many others have thought.

Headers and footers are not appearing

Working example: https://url-to-pdf-api.herokuapp.com/api/render?url=https://github.com&pdf.margin.bottom=100px&pdf.displayHeaderFooter=true&pdf.footerTemplate=%3Cp%20style=%22font-size:20px%22%3EFooter%20text%3C/p%3E

Styling is not working

See puppeteer/puppeteer#2916 and puppeteer/puppeteer#2388

    I found puppeteer is a good tool for converting from html to pdf.
    But the footerTemplate must be the same on all pages?
    Now I need, for example, pages' footer like this:

    (page 1)
    pageNumber of totalNumber---------------------------vocabulary list

    (page 2)
    vocabulary list-------------------------------------pageNumber of totalNumber

    (page 3)
    pageNumber of totalNumber---------------------------vocabulary list

    I prepared 2 Templates for odd and even num pages
    How should i do ?

    I would add:

    Remember to set a font-size of 8px or more, because the default is almost invisible

    <div style='font-size: 8px; margin-left: 30px'>Page <span class='pageNumber'></span> of <span class='totalPages'></span></div>
    

    Also don't use <span class='pageNumber' />.

    Close it with </span>
