PHP FPDF Issue - Please Help!!

Hello there!

I had a similar frustrating experience with PHP FPDF, but I managed to find a solution that might work for you. It seems that the issue you're facing with the content getting overwritten on each page could be due to incorrect positioning of the elements within the PDF.

One possible approach you can try is using the `SetY()` function to position your content vertically on each page. It sets the current Y position on the page, allowing you to control where your text or other elements should be placed.

Here's an example of how you can use it in your code:

php
require('fpdf.php');



$pdf = new FPDF();

$pdf->AddPage();



// Adding content to first page

$pdf->SetFont('Arial', 'B', 16);

$pdf->Cell(0, 10, 'Page 1 Content', 0, 1);

$pdf->SetY(40); // Adjust the Y position to create space for the next page



$pdf->AddPage();



// Adding content to second page

$pdf->SetFont('Arial', 'B', 16);

$pdf->Cell(0, 10, 'Page 2 Content', 0, 1);



$pdf->Output();

Hey [Your Name],

I had encountered a similar issue with FPDF in the past, and after some troubleshooting, I found a solution. It turned out that the problem was related to the position of the pointer within the PDF document.

In your code example, you are missing the `SetAutoPageBreak()` function which helps to manage automatic page breaking. By default, FPDF's `AutoPageBreak` property is set to `true`, which means it automatically creates a new page when the content exceeds the bottom margin.

To overcome the issue of overwriting content, try adding the `SetAutoPageBreak()` function with the appropriate parameters after creating a new `FPDF` instance and before calling `AddPage()`:

php
$pdf = new FPDF();

$pdf->SetAutoPageBreak(true, 10); // Set a bottom margin of 10 units

$pdf->AddPage();
