OK I couldn't figure it out, but i was able to copy a co-workers example that worked. If anyone wants the source code here it is:
<?php
require_once('tcpdf/config/lang/eng.php');
require_once('tcpdf/tcpdf.php');
define('PDF_FOOTER_TEXT','800 Vinial St. Pittsburgh, PA 15212 | phone: 412.321.7006 | fax: 412.321.7005 | www.savvior.com');
$PDF_LINE_COLOR=array(255,255,0);
define('PDF_FOOTER_TEXT_COLOR',170);
class MYPDF extends TCPDF
{
//Page header
public function Header()
{
global $PDF_LINE_COLOR;
$image_file = K_PATH_IMAGES.'image.jpg';
$this->Image($image_file, 160, 0, 30, '', 'JPG', '', 'T', false, 300, '', false, false, 0, false, false, false);
$this->SetFont('helvetica', 'B', 20);
$this->Cell(0, 15, '', 0, false, 'C', 0, '', 0, false, 'M', 'M');
$this->line(10,27,200,27,array('width' => 0.5, 'cap' => 'butt', 'join' => 'miter', 'solid' => 4, 'color' => $PDF_LINE_COLOR));
}
public function Footer()
{
global $PDF_LINE_COLOR;
$cur_y = $this->GetY();
$ormargins = $this->getOriginalMargins();
$this->SetTextColor(PDF_FOOTER_TEXT_COLOR, PDF_FOOTER_TEXT_COLOR, PDF_FOOTER_TEXT_COLOR);
$this->SetY($cur_y);
$this->line(10,400,200,400,array('width' => 0.5, 'cap' => 'butt', 'join' => 'miter', 'solid' => 4, 'color' => $PDF_LINE_COLOR));
$this->Cell(0,11,"Page ". $this->getAliasNumPage().'/'.$this->getAliasNbPages(),'T',0,'L');
$this->Cell(0,11,PDF_FOOTER_TEXT,'T',0,'R');
}
}
ob_start();

Comparing this new code to my old reveals no insight into why this works... in fact the example in the TCPDF examples folder exhibits the same issue, however if you run it from their website the footer is displayed correctly. Well anyway hope this helps someone
