Answer 1

The constructor of the HTML2PDF class says, that the $format parameter is the same as in the tcpdf class. The constructor of the tcpdf class says about the $format parameter:

@param mixed $format The format used for pages. It can be either one of the following values (case insensitive) or a custom format in the form of a two-element array containing the width and the height (expressed in the unit given by unit) ...

With a little bit of calculation, this make it possible to set the page size to 12'' x 12''. The default unit is millimeters.

Answer 2

Here is the solution for this problem:

$html2pdf = new HTML2PDF('P', array($width_in_mm,$height_in_mm), 'en', true, 'UTF-8', array(0, 0, 0, 0));

Width and Height should be in MM. If your using inches convert it to MM.

Formula: $width_in_mm = $width_in_inches * 25.4; $height_in_mm = $height_in_inches * 25.4;

Don't round it off. Used the exact conversion even if it has a decimal point.

Hope this answer will solve your problem.
