hi all

im trying to write a pdf document which contains two columns of data.
when the column on the left crosses over to the next page i need to be
able to go back afterwards to the previous page to write the content
for the right column.

currently im trying to do this with fpdf but it doesnt seem to allow me
to go back to the previous page once i have finished writing content
for one column that crosses over.

can anyone help me with a solution?

thanks

marc

Before going to the next page write the second column OR write the first and
second column at the same time.

datadatadatadatadata datadatadatadatadatadata
datadatadatadatadata datadatadatadatadatadata
datadatadatadatadata datadatadatadatadatadata

etc...

Dear Marc,

lucky me, I never had that problem up to now. Did you have a look at
the source code if it possible to go back to a previous page?

A quick and dirty solution would be to create the complete pdf with the
first column and then reopen it with the fpdi extension. Did you try
that?

Cheers
Martin
