MultiColumnViewHelper / ColumnViewHelper¶

These ViewHelpers have to be used together in order to generate a multi column layout. By default all columns are of equal width. It is however possible to specify the width of a column with an absolute or percentage value. In addition it possible to set a padding value for each column.

Important: The parsing of the Fluid template can not be cached when these ViewHelpers are used. This can lead to a significant loss in performance.

Basic Usage

        <pdf:column>

        <pdf:column>
                <pdf:text>Column 2</pdf:text>

        <pdf:column>
                <pdf:text>Column 3</pdf:text>
