Hi Amresh,
With the help of formatting the VisualForce Page rendered as PDF with CSS, we can do that.
VisualForce allows you to create PDF documents (<apex:page RenderAs="PDF">), but those files can be easily manipulated with CSS, for example, you can break a document on different pages, you can set footers and headers, set the page size, and add page numbering.
You can find a very good document on how to use CSS to format PDF files here: http://www.antennahouse.com/CSSInfo/CSS-Page-Tutorial-en.pdfThis page creates a PDF file that:
- Uses "Letter" as the paper size
- Has margins of 1/4 centimetres
- Has a title on every page
- Every page shows the page number in this format (page # of #)
- Controls what content goes on each page.
Sample Code:
<apex:page renderAs="pdf" showHeader="false" sidebar="false" standardStylesheets="false" applyBodyTag="false" applyHtmlTag="false">
<html>
<head>
<style>
@page {
size: letter;
margin: 25mm;
@top-center {
content: "Sample";
}
@bottom-center {
content: "Page " counter(page) " of " counter(pages);
}
}
.page-break {
display:block;
page-break-after:always;
}
body {
font-family: Arial Unicode MS;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="page-break">Page A</div>
<div class="page-break">Page B</div>
<div>Page C</div>
</body>
</html>
</apex:page>
