Does anybody knows how to get the number of generated pages if a PDF document using mPDF library?

Answer

I was looking for the same functionallity while using EYiiPdf (a wrapper for mPDF on Yii) and the following worked like a charm:

$mPDF->setFooter('{PAGENO} / {nb}');

I checked mPDF's source and found this at mpdf.php:1656 (version 5.4):

function AliasNbPages($alias='{nb}') {
    //Define an alias for total number of pages
    $this->aliasNbPg=$alias;
}

Hope it helps!
