Regarding the HTML invoices you mentioned, you can use the CSS
"page-break-before" and "page-break-after" rules to control page breaks
in the HTML.
However, in my experience, creating HTML files this large usually
crashed the browser. I was trying to create reports with hundreds of
pages, and what would happen was the browser's memory usage would just
climb dramatically, and become completely unresponsive while it was
trying to parse the 50MB or so of HTML.
When I last tried to create invoices with DOMPDF, I was disappointed to
find out it doesn't yet support absolute positioning, which complicated
my plan to the point where I just created the invoices directly in PDF
with fpdf.
Hope this helps,

Said that I was thinking about html (without PDF gen). What if I create 3000
invoices as a one HTML document. It would be one long HTML page without any

on the new page.
Maybe fpdf or dompdf is faster for this particular task? Creating
complicated invoices with HTML and than convert it to pdf with dompdf would
probably be the easies way. However, don`t know how much time it would take
to convert it.
