I am generating invoices using MPDF. My item rows are dynamic so the height of table which shows items should be flexible. When I am printing the PDF using following code:
<!-- Latest compiled and minified CSS -->
<?php echo $this->Html->css(array('bootstrap.min','AdminLTE.min','skin-green','font-awesome.min')); ?>
<style type="text/css">
.products{
width: 100%;
border-collapse: collapse;
}
h2,h3{
margin: 0;
padding:0;
}
.border{
border: 1px solid black;
padding:5px;
}
table.products{
border: 1px solid black;
height: 500px;
margin-left: -6px;
margin-right: -6px;
margin-bottom: -6px;
}
.products tr td{
padding:5px;
border:1px solid #333;
}
.products tr th{
padding:5px;
border:1px solid #333;
}
.pull-right{
float: right;
}
</style>
<!-- title row -->
<div class="border">
<table width="100%">
<tr>
<td style="width:35%">
</td>
<td style="width:35%" align="center">

<td style="width:35%" align="right">

</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="3" align="center">

<h3>Invoice Heading</h3>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

<div class="row">

<td colspan="5">Amount in words: Rs.<?php echo $c2w ?></td>

It prints the pdf as follows:
But I need to print it as follows:
I have tried using line-height but it distorts the view because valign in td will not align the content at top.
With line-height:100px in TD print looks like follows:
Is there a way to fill the complete page by increasing the height of items table dynamically.
