Border around the page in PDF with MPDF

Question 1

Perhaps you could try a hack using watermarks:

http://www.olivettorestaurante.com.br/mpdf/examples/example35_watermarks.php

A full page square image used as watermark could work. I know, a bit triky, but sometimes MPDF turns weird when facing some problems... :/

A better answerd would be wellcome. Here is the sampl code available in the MPDF examples directory, related to watermarks:

<?php
$html = '
<h1>mPDF</h1>
<h2>Watermarks</h2>
<p>P: Nulla felis erat, imperdiet eu, ullamcorper non, nonummy quis, elit. Suspendisse potenti. Ut aeros at ligula vehicula pretium. Maecenas feugiat pede vel risus. Nulla et lectus. Fusce eleifend neque sit amet erat. Integer consectetuer nulla non orci. Morbi feugiat pulvinar dolor. Cras odio. Donec mattis, nisi id euismod auctor, neque metus pellentesque risus, at eleifend lacus sapien et risus. Phasellus metus. Phasellus feugiat, lectus ac aliquam molestie, leo lacus tincidunt turpis, vel aliquam quam odio et sapien. Mauris ante pede, auctor ac, suscipit quis, malesuada sed, nulla. Integer sit amet odio sit amet lectus luctus euismod. Donec et nulla. Sed quis orci.</p>

Question 2

you can create a container with border like this:

    <head>
      <style>
           #page-border{
               width: 100%;
               height: 100%;
               border:4px double black;
           }
      </style>
    </head>
    <body>
        <div id="page-border">
             .... content ....
        </div>
    </body>
