Try this:

Your loop is wrong. The way you add pages to your PDF is probably wrong. Apparently you are overwriting one page again and again instead of attaching a new one.

$html = <<<HTML
  <html>
      <head>
            <style type="text/css">
                /* Your document styling goes here */
            </style>
      </head>
      <body>
HTML;
for($i=0;$i<5;$i++)
{
    $html .= '<div style="page-break-after: always;"><p>Hello World!</p></div>';
}
$html .= '</body></html>';

$dompdf = new DOMPDF();
$dompdf->load_html($html);

$dompdf->render();
$dompdf->stream("Admit card.pdf",array("Attachment"=>0));
$dompdf->clear();

NOTE: You need to make sure, is that heredoc closer HTML is in a new line and not indented.

Ok accepted.Is there any other way to create looping without embedding the "$html" again and again.I mean when i tried for showing only one page pdf, the total php code worked without the adding "$html" .How can the total php code will be put into a loop that will produce multiple pdf file.Any solution???

@MangeshParte This code generated the three files but how can I save these pdf files because pdf files are opened in the web browser not saved in the computer.
