MPDF full page background

I spent way too much time on this and I can't figure out a good 21th century solution.

Simply I have to generate a business card in PDF with a background image, but MPDF isn't very helpful.

By default I had:

@page{
    sheet-size: 90mm 55mm;
    margin: 0;
}

I tried to:

  • use @page{ background-size: 100%; } doesn't work
  • use @page{ background-size: cover; } doesn't work
  • resize the image - even if I set the right size in 'mm', it will be smaller or larger, even if I set the background-image-resolution to the same value as the image.
  • place absolute positioned div with background image
  • same but with img tags, using src attribute.

At the last option, I've got a really strange thing. It showed the whole image but in a small rectangle in the pages, but not even in full height.

Does anyone have an idea, how to simply use an image as a page background?

Working example with the background-image-resolution property :

<body style="background-image: url('/absolute/path/to/image.jpg');
             background-position: top left;
             background-repeat: no-repeat;
             background-image-resize: 4;
             background-image-resolution: from-image;">

It works fine with a 300DPI JPEG picture on invoices.

if you use both the style="..." tag and a body{...} style in CSS, mpdf will ignore the style="..." tag and its content, so the picture will not appear!
