Custom footer and header

[MassoudSharifi]

I want to print a list of products. I want to print the date and name of the company on the footer of each page and remove the existing footer and Header

Hello. What is your question or problem you are having with the library?

@MatthewHerbst How to edit the ringed places in the image

[MatthewHerbst]

Did you modify the pageStyle prop? The default value has a style that removes the header/footer:

pageStyle: "@page { size: auto;  margin: 0mm; } @media print { body { -webkit-print-color-adjust: exact; } }", // remove date/time from top

[MassoudSharifi]

@MatthewHerbst I remove the default footer and header but I cannot add a custom footer for multiple pages

[MatthewHerbst]

Can you please share the code you are using? Very difficult for me to help otherwise

[MassoudSharifi]

@MatthewHerbst Yes, the code is here. and also want to add page numbers in the footer of each page https://codesandbox.io/s/awesome-brook-0bhtg?file=/src/example/index.js:107-112

@MatthewHerbst Can you help me with how to solve this problem ????

[MatthewHerbst]

Apologies, I was traveling and not working.

It does seem there is a bug with pageStyle, I'm looking into that now. You don't have to use pageStyle, and I actually plan to remove it in the next major release. Just use @media print { ... } in your existing CSS and set styles there.

In terms of creating a footer/header, there are two options beyond what you are trying to do. The first is to use a table (example: https://plnkr.co/edit/lWk6Yd?preview). The second is to use the new CSS 3 Page Margin Boxes (see spec + examples here: https://www.w3.org/TR/css-page-3/#margin-boxes)

I will update once I know more about the bug, it's very strange

[MassoudSharifi]

@MatthewHerbst how to use CSS 3 Page Margin Boxes. is there a library to install? because nothing working without page size property in CSS

[MatthewHerbst]

I'm honestly not sure, I had never heard of them until I was researching your problem. Asking on StackOverflow might be best for that. Apologies for the delayed response, I have had to focus on work the last two weeks. I hope to be able to get some time in for this library this coming weekend.

A follow up on page margin boxes support?

Maybe it will help someone Through this function, I was able to make a watermark on all pages, as well as the header and the footer.

 const handlePrint = useReactToPrint({
   content: () => {
      const tableStat = tableStatRef.current.cloneNode(true);
      const PrintElem = document.createElement('div');
      const header = 
        `<img src="${logo}" alt="" class="watermark"/>` + 
        `<div class="page-footer">I'm The Footer</div>`;
      PrintElem.innerHTML = header;
      PrintElem.appendChild(tableStat);
      return PrintElem;
    },
});

@media print {
  .watermark {
    position: fixed;
    top: 50vh;
    z-index: 9;
    width: 50vw;
    page-break-after: always;
    left: 50%;
    transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
    opacity: .1;
  }
  div.page-footer {
    position: fixed;
    z-index: 9;
    bottom: 0;
    width: 100%;
    height: 50px;
    font-size: 15px;
    color: #fff;
    background: red;
    opacity: 0.5;
    page-break-after: always;
  }
}

for me, the key values were:

page-break-after: always;
z-index: 9;

how to remove header/footer in first page ???

how to remove header/footer in first page ???

Hey @prakashmahto01 Have you found any solution?

[HarveyNek]

Hello! In the provided example (CodeSandBox) which i use with functional component i want to print a specific header to every page that is printed..also this header i want to be hidden from user and be shown only in the printed sheet. In other words, i want to print in every page a title "This was printed by user XX in DATE". I tried many ways to resolve this, but i printed the header only in the first page. So it would be helpful if anyone has the idea of how to achieve that.
