Answer 1

This is said in the documentation about the asked subject: https://github.com/barryvdh/laravel-dompdf
Tip: Page breaks
You can use the CSS page-break-before/page-break-after properties to create a new page.
<style>
.page-break {
page-break-after: always;
}
</style>
<h1>Page 1</h1>
<div class="page-break"></div>
<h1>Page 2</h1>
Update, you can iterate through the items and call for example after 10 divs:
<?php $i=0 ?>
#foreach($array as $object)
<?php $i++ ?>
<!-- do something here | divs -->
if( $i % 10 == 0 ){
echo '<div class="page-break"></div>'; ....
}
#endforeach
You will have to determine yourself how many divs you can show to fill a page. An A4 paper for example has always the same height so you could make a guess of how many of your divs can be displayed on this page.

Answer 2

This is how you do it. Put this code on your CSS
<style>
.page-break {
page-break-after: always;
}
</style>
Then use
<h1>Page 1</h1>
<div class="page-break"></div>
<h1>Page 2</h1>
