When creating a pdf in memory, it appears that the code is executed twice. This does not seem to happen when creating a pdf as file. Not a problem when outputing a pdf, but does cause a problem if doing other writes in the same code: // the write to the file is executed twice $fp = fopen("testfile.htm", "a"); fwrite($fp, "testline/") ; fclose($fp); //-------------- $pdf = pdf_new(); if (!pdf_open_file($pdf, "")) { print error; exit; }; pdf_begin_page($pdf, 8.5*72, 11*72); pdf_set_font($pdf, "Helvetica-Bold", 24, "host"); pdf_set_text_pos($pdf, 50, 700); pdf_show($pdf,"Hello,world!"); pdf_end_page($pdf); pdf_close($pdf); $buf = pdf_get_buffer($pdf); $len = strlen($buf); header("Content-type: application/pdf"); header("Content-Length: $len"); header("Content-Disposition: inline; filename=foo.pdf"); print $buf; php
The example uses pdf_set_font, but that function is deprecated. Instead use pdf_setfont (without the underscore).

It is possible to append pdfs to each other, however it requires the commercial version of PDFlib with PDI support (http://www.pdflib.com) I've used it quite a bit and is well worth the price they are asking for. nils
If you get "Fatal error: PDFlib error: function 'PDF_set_info' must not be called in 'object' scope in script.php on line xxx" when using pdf_open_file with a filename, make sure your webserver has write permissions to the directory your are trying to save your PDF file to.

FYI: the reason you had to add the double slashes was due to the fact that your string was contained within double quotes rather than single quotes. See: http://ca3.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php gbl
Appending to PDF files: plainly, you can't. PDF files have an internal structure that would get corrupted by just appending to the file. You'd need to parse the PDF, create a new PDF and mix your additions with the old PDF. Just creating a new one should be *much* easier. Reading back the results: do a fopen() on the temporary file and use fgets() to read it. In your example where you just want to output the file, passthru should do the trick. 18-oct-2004 01:55
After some troubles I found filename must be absolute path here in windows; relative path doesn't work in my box. php 4.3.5-dev alfred dot zingg
... $fd = fopen("download/liste.pdf", "w"); $pdfdoc = pdf_open($fd); pdf_begin_page($pdfdoc, 595, 842); pdf_set_font($pdfdoc, "Helvetica", 20, "host", 1); pdf_set_text_pos($pdfdoc, 50, 795); pdf_show($pdfdoc, "Liste"); ... does not work under PHP5, use ... $fd = fopen("download/liste.pdf", "w"); $pdfdoc = pdf_new(); pdf_open_file($pdfdoc, "download/liste.pdf"); pdf_begin_page($pdfdoc, 595.3, 841.8); $font = pdf_findfont($pdfdoc, "Helvetica", "winansi", 0); pdf_set_font($pdfdoc, $font, 20); pdf_set_text_pos($pdfdoc, 50, 795); pdf_show($pdfdoc, "Liste"); ... 21-jun-2005 05:13
"Fatal error: PDFlib error: [2100] PDF_begin_page: Function must not be called in 'object' scope.." If you get this error then you probably forgot to call pdf_open_file() or pdf_open_file() failed. button dot man
"Fatal error: PDFlib error: [2100] PDF_begin_page: Function must not be called in 'object' scope" I found a solution for this fault: when i got the fault, this was the script -> <?php $pdf = pdf_new(); pdf_open_file($pdf, "C:\web\pdf\test45.pdf"); pdf_begin_page($pdf, 595, 842); pdf_set_font($pdf, "Times-Roman", 30, "host"); pdf_set_value($pdf, "textrendering", 1); pdf_show_xy($pdf, "A PDF document is created!", 50, 750); pdf_end_page($pdf); pdf_close($pdf); ?> but when i added some slashes to the path: <?php $pdf = pdf_new(); pdf_open_file($pdf, "C:\\web\\pdf\\test45.pdf"); pdf_begin_page($pdf, 595, 842); pdf_set_font($pdf, "Times-Roman", 30, "host"); pdf_set_value($pdf, "textrendering", 1); pdf_show_xy($pdf, "A PDF document is created!", 50, 750); pdf_end_page($pdf); pdf_close($pdf); ?> there wasn't no fault anymore and the pdf-file was succesfully created I think you guys get the point ( add 2 slashes ) Glenn |
