Duplex printing - start content on odd page

[Bjorn]

I want to convert several documents to a single pdf-file. To attach
the documents to each other I can use the page-break-before property.
This works fine when one prints the combined document single sided.
Only when one prints it double sided it can be that a intended new
document starts at a even page (counts starts at 1), so at the back of
a page.

It looks like DOMPDF does nothing depending on the value {always,
left, right}.

Does someone know a possibility to start a new block-element on a odd
page?

I haven't tried anything like this myself, but there are a few methods
available with inline scripting that might help, specifically $pdf-
>new_page() and $pdf->get_page_number(). Between your documents you
could include something like the following:

<script type="text/php>
if ($pdf) {
$pagenum = $pdf->get_page_number();
if ($pagenum % 2 == 1) {
$pdf->new_page();
}
}
</script>

Give it a shot and let me know what happens. If that doesn't work I'll
look into it some more.

I tried to modify some code in Page_Frame_Decorator::check_forced_page_break, and some other files to get access to the canvas etc, to handle page-break-before-values left and right properly. The parses translates left and right to always.
But i couldn't get it to work properly, sometimes it missed a page.

I fixed my problemen by using PDFTK and merge several document together. That worked for me because it were separate documents each containing their own page numbering. So I didn't had to find out how to reset DOMPDF's page numbering.

That would have been my solution as well. Not everyone has access to
execute programs on their server, so I try to find other alternatives
when I can. We'll look into the problem for a future release.
