Hello,

A DOCX is not 'painted' as a PDF, it's more similar to HTML. So there's no option to know the exact position of a content until the DOCX is open using MS Word, LibreOffice, Google Docs or any other program, and the position and layout may vary depending on the program used.

The only way to accomplish what you need is using footers or sections. DOCXPath can query by section tags as well.

Regards.

Could you explain an example with sections how you say?

I've tried to do with docxpath without success

Hello,

As there's no way to get the end of a page by its contents, the only solution is adding sections or page breaks (https://support.office.com/en-us/article/insert-a-section-break-eef20fd8-e38c-4ba6-a027-e503bdf8375c) to each page when you create the DOCX (from scratch or a template); each page must have a page break or a section. Adding one of these breaks (section or page break) and using phpdocx 6.5 or newer (Advanced or Premium licenses) you can query by the section tag (w:sectPr , 'section' type value) to add an element before each section:

$content->addText('New text.', array('fontSize' => 20, 'color' => '#0000ff'));

// as there's no occurrence value, iterate all sections
$referenceNode = array(
    'type' => 'section',
);

$docx->insertWordFragment($content, $referenceNode, 'before');

or use a customQuery to query by the page break tag.

Anyway, we recommend you adding headers or footers to add contents to each page, as it's the easiest solution.

Regards.
