'Footer works on xlsx exporting but not in Mpdf with Phpspreadsheet

Hi everyone and thanks in advance for your help.

I'm trying to set Footer to a pdf Phpsrpreadsheet generated file but, although it works when I export it in xlsx it doesn't work when I save it as a pdf (mpdf) file.

The code is something like:

$spreadsheet->getActiveSheet()->getHeaderFooter()->setOddFooter('SomeFooter');

I also tried:

$spreadsheet->getActiveSheet()->getPageMargins()->setBottom(1);
$spreadsheet->getActiveSheet()->getPageMargins()->setFooter(1);

Is there any solution or do I have to roughly create xslx and later convert it in pdf?

Thank you very much

No one answered. I solved with a function that:

  • Finds the end of the page.
  • creates a line at the end of each page.
  • sets the height of that line
  • reduces bottom margin of the same height (not exceeding minimum printable margins)
  • Writes the footer

It's a rough workaround maybe, but that worked. Maybe someone knows a better way. Hope it helps for somebody
