Although greek are printed normally the characters are overlapping on 
each other. The script in encoded in UTF-8.


Does anybody have any suggestions on this? Please any help would be 
appreciated.




LaTeX has some greek stuff that works fairly well - though you have to 
use one of the fonts encoded for LaTeX.


If you mean to have a web app generate the PDF you'll have to output to 
.tex and then use a shell command to compile the document, but it is a 
solution that is fairly well tested for creation of Greek (monotonic and 
polytonic) PDF documents.


I know that isn't what you asked, but in case there isn't a PDFLib 
solution to the typesetting issue, I suspect an application designed for 
typesetting will give better results anyway.

read this (it might help):

basically, if your lucky, all you need to do is update PDFlib to a newer 
version.

After you do pdf_show_boxed() for the one color, do this:
$textx = pdf_get_value($pdf, 'textx', 0);
$texty = pdf_get_value($pdf, 'texty', 0);

Now you know where PDFlib "left off" for the last word of that color.

You can begin again at that point with a new color.

Rinse.

Repeat.

It's probably going to be a pain to finish off a line, and then do a
large chunk of text after that, but it's totally do-able.

Note that pdf_show_boxed returns all the text that didn't "fit" -- so
if you do this with boxes that are one line, and just keep doing that
line after line, interspersing with the colored text and using the
pdf_get_value() above, this is totally do-able, if somewhat tedious.

If the colored text is "rare" enough, it might be worth doing
something like:

1. text up to next colored text
2. pdf_get_value()
3. colored text
4. pdf_get_value()
5. one_line box size for pdf_show_boxed, returns rest of text
6. GOTO 1.

particularly if you have huge texts and need performance to not loop
through it one line at a time for ALL of it.

On the plus side, pdflib, in my experience, tends to generate VERY
small and compact PDF output, so the bandwidth is as cheap as it can
be...

YMMV

[PHP] pdflib - change text color mid-sentence

[j1c]

Hi,

I'm having some problems with a pdf file I'm compiling dynamically with
pdflib, and my searches for answers have come up empty, so I'm hoping
someone else out there has faced the same problem and came up with a
solution.

I want to change the text color of a word mid-sentence when outputting
text to a pdf file.

I've looked at pdf_show_boxed and pdf_show_xy, but I dont think either
would actually work the way I need, and I'm hoping their is an easier way
than trying to step through a long string word by word, then changing
color to display one word, and then trying to continue while making it all
look as though it flows.  This, of course, would open up all kinds of
issues in terms of line feeds and the like

If anyone has any advice or could help in any way, please let me know
because this has been frustrating.

Thanks in advance,
Michael.

I've started looking at htmldoc for some upcoming projects.  You can
generate a flyer (or any other kind of document you want) using HTML and
convert it to HTML very easily.

Take a look at http://www.easysw.com/htmldoc/examples.php for examples
using htmldoc.

Results may well vary Depending on the complexity of the html pages, but have
you tried using the example script 'HTML Conversion'? you could modify
this/expand it to fit your needs.  worth a try i would of thought.

[PHP] PDFLib or some free solution?

[afan]

Hi,
I have to create some flyers and invoices (simple stuff) in one my
project. On php.net/pdf is mentioned PDFLib, but I know there is a free
solution too. It's commercial and can't have PDFLib for free.
My questions are:
- Is really $450 for PDFLib worth comparing to free solution? (I need for
really simple stuff)
- Is there a difference (look and programming) and how "big" it is,
between PDFLib and free solution?

Could you please give me some directions?

Thanks.

[PHP] PDFlib 6 and PHP 4.3.8/9

[Brendan P. Caulfield]

Hi Everyone,

I am hoping someone out there may be able to help...

I have recently installed PDFlib 6 and am running PHP 4.3.8.  I am having
trouble with the pdf_open_file() function.  I would like to create a PDF
to memory by leaving the second parameter (filename) in the above function
empty.  However, every time I do this, I get the following error message:

Warning: pdf_open_file() expects exactly 2 parameters, 1 given in xxx

This means I always have to create the PDF file before outputting it to
the browser... which is very annoying.

Has anyone else encountered this?  I have been unable to find much in the
groups to this point!

Thanks in advance for the help.

Re: [PHP] PDFLib pdf_get_pdi_value

[Matt Matijevich]

I figured out what was wrong. 

If you are interested in my solution here it is:
I did some searching in the PDFLIB documentation and I needed to set
this at the top of my script to show some errors
pdf_set_parameter($pdf, 'pdiwarning', 'true');

then, to fix the problem I needed to add this parameter.
pdf_set_parameter($pdf, 'compatibility','1.5');

[PHP] PDFLib pdf_get_pdi_value

[Matt Matijevich]

I am trying to do some PDF templating work with PHP/PDFLib.

I have a template file created and I am able to use all of the php
functions for pdf's but I am having a slight problem:

here is part of my code

$pdi_file =
$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']).'/block_test.pdf';

$pdf = PDF_new();

pdf_open_file($pdf);

$src_doc   = pdf_open_pdi($pdf,$pdi_file,'', 0);
$src_page  = pdf_open_pdi_page($pdf,$src_doc,1,'');
$src_width = pdf_get_pdi_value($pdf,'width' ,$src_doc,$src_page,0);
$src_height = pdf_get_pdi_value($pdf,'height',$src_doc,$src_page,0);

everything works great until I get to here:
$src_width = pdf_get_pdi_value($pdf,'width' ,$src_doc,$src_page,0);

I get a fatal php error:
Fatal error: PDFlib error [1118] PDF_get_pdi_value: Handle parameter
'page' has bad value 0 in
/var/www/html/active/www.midstatedistributing.com/html/developers/test.php
on line 11

>From the user comments on php.net, it says the forth paremeter of
pdf_get_pdi_value needs to be a valid PDF page handle.  I cant seem to
find a way to get a page handle into a variable.

Has anyone had any experience with this?  I am having troubles finding
stuff on the web.

Thanks in advance.

[PHP] PDFlib, transparency and TIFF images

[Victor Spång Arthursson]

Hi everyone - hope there's someone good at PDFlib out there…

I'm trying to use a picture, a TIFF image, with transparency, in a PDF 
created by a PHP-script...

The manual says that only "explicit transparency" can be used when 
working with TIFF images, and that this operation requires two steps… 
But then the manual loses me, and I don't understand what the "two 
steps" that seems to be required actually meens…

Isn't it sufficiant to have a TIFF image with transparency, or do I 
have to have some kind of second image and use that as some kind of 
mask to acquire transparency effects? Will this, if so, require two 
image files per image instead as one?

Hope this is not OT, if so, i apologize…

Sincerely

Victor Spång Arthursson

Hello

It very much looks like you are running your script under Un*x.
That is why "Arial" font is not found when using "host" setting. You 
should use "Helvetica" instead. The host refers to font selection 
available to PDFlib.
I tried a year or so ago setting up PDFlib so that I could use other than 
"host" with no luck. As I did not need more than those three basic fonts, 
I spent no more time sorting out the other options.

Take a look at sopdf.php that you can found from dataxi.sourceforge.net, 
and download latest solib-ver.tar.gz that contains the script. It is a 
fully functional class to produce PDF using PDFlib.


Cheers,

[PHP] PDFlib error 2516

[Mark Wouters]

Hello!

Tried out this simple script from a tutorial on creating PDF with PHP:



However got this error:

Fatal error: PDFlib error: [2516] PDF_findfont: Metrics data for font
'Arial' not found in
/usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/resilion.be/httpdocs/test/createpdf.php on line
23

Does anyone have an idea what the problem could be? What does the "host"
mean in the example above ($arial = PDF_findfont($pdf, "Arial", "host",
1); )?

Thanks for any help

Mark.

RE: [PHP] PDFlib not working with explorer based on PHP created file in memory

[Larry Brown]

My apologies for waisting anyone's time.  I found the posting in the
archives that had the correct code to use.

-Original Message-
From: Larry Brown [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Sent: Wednesday, October 29, 2003 3:39 PM
To: PHP List
Subject: [PHP] PDFlib not working with explorer based on PHP created
file in memory


If anyone can help, please...

I have a page that points to a PHP page that dynamically creates a pdf file
using PDFlib.  The page uses a link such as
site.com/page.php?variable=value.  That in turn executes the script that
uses the variable/value to pull info from the db and generate the page.  The
result is that when you click the link you are prompted to save or open the
document.  By openning the document you are presented with the pdf by
acrobat.  This is seemless with Mozilla.  However, on IE it hangs with the
message "Getting File information:".  If you try to save it you get another
error.  I have read some information indicating that the problem is with the
length parameter not being sent.  However, the page I'm using was off an
example someone provided and it already has what seems to be the fix for
page length.  The code that creates the file is as follows...


$p = PDF_new();
if(PDF_open_file($p, "") == 0) {
die("Error: ".PDF_get_errmsg($p));
}

...body goes here...

PDF_end_page($p);
PDF_close($p);

$buf = PDF_get_buffer($p);
$len = strlen($buf);

header("Content-type: application/pdf");
header("Content-Length: $len");
header("Content-Disposition: inline; filename=filename.pdf");
print $buf;

PDF_delete($p);

Again, this is only a problem with m$ IE.  I know this is one of the largest
toolkits (PDFlib) in use for creating well defined printable documents so I
can't believe that this is not a common problem or that I am doing something
really wrong.

Someone on PDFlib's mailing list once mentioned sending the document for
download via "chunks" instead of getting the length except he wrote
something in C/C++ to accomplish it in his app.  Is there some way to tell
the browser to accept via "chunks" in php?  Does the above header look right
for IE?

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

I don't there are any such automatic niceties in the raw PDFlib. In any case 
if you want something that's easier to use try

There is no bandaid for this.  Your code is simply wrong.  You are calling
a stroke function without having a path to stroke.  You need to fix the

[PHP] PDFlib error help --

[Hank Marquardt]

I've got an old, inherited codebase (>18months) that generates PDFs -- just
upgraded the server and libraries and php versions and now the PDF stuff
is broken -- a quick scan of the archive and on google didn't this issue
on there.

The error I'm getting is:

PDFlib error: function 'PDF_stroke' must not be called in 'page' scope

I started to just comment out the offending line and see what happened,
but it complains on every instance of function call throughout the
scripts and a couple of supporting classes --- eww.

I did notice a lot of calls to the deprecated API, but I'd really like
to find a bandaid to put on this rather than rewrite the class library
and all the scripts under time pressure --

Anyone else run into this? ... any pointers, faqs, etc.

$scale_x = 1.0;
$scale_y = $dpi_y / $dpi_x;

[PHP] PDFlib --pixels?

[Oscar F]

Hello,

I'm developing a web app, that needs to generate a PDF file.

The "background" of the PDF will be a high resolution image (300dpi). and I calculate 
the scaling factor from the resolution of the image. 

  $dpi_x =PDF_get_value($p,"resx",$image);
  $dpi_y =PDF_get_value($p,"resy",$image);
  /*calculate scaling factors from the dpi values */
  if ($dpi_x >0 && $dpi_y >0){ 
  $scale_x =(72.0)/$dpi_x;
  $scale_y =(72.0)/$dpi_y;

Now, I have the pixel coordenates of the text that will be written (I have the text, 
color, font, textX and textY). This coordenates were taken from the way it looked on a 
72 dpi image. How can I get the cordenates that I sould use on the PDF??.. because if 
I use the same coord I have, it places the text wy out of where it's supposed to 
be. Please advice!.

[PHP] pdflib, NEED HELP with function problem (newby)

[Jeffrey]

Hello,

Using php v 4.2.2 with pdflib support, on apache v. 1.3, and redhat
linux 7.2.

I for some reason can not get a pdf_setfont, pdf_set_text_pos,
pdf_[anything], to work inside a function. What is going on. All the pdf
extensions work find as long as I dont try to use them inside a function
that I create.

ie:

PDF_set_text_pos($p, 80, 670);
PDF_show($p, "Requirements:");

works just fine outside of a function but if I put the same thing inside a
function like so


function help()
 {
  PDF_set_text_pos($p, 80, 670);
  PDF_show($p, "Test:");
 }

I will not get Test text to display inside the PDF document, If I change
this, so that I add a position to it, like so:

function help($position_y)
 {
  PDF_set_text_pos($p, 80, $position_y);
  PDF_show($p, "Test:");
 }

I get this error:

Warning: pdf_set_text_pos(): supplied argument is not a valid pdf object
resource in /var/www/html/form/test.php on line 16

What am I doing wrong?

Jeff

[PHP] pdflib

[Joey]

Hello,

can you tell me what i have to do to generate more than one pdf document
with pdflib. At the moment i am not able to do this. the only thing i can do
is actually to make one pdf.

It is really important for me to bring more sites in one document. the
problem is not solved if i just make more than one doc.

[PHP] PDFlib error - pdf_color or pdf_setrgbcolor

[Wayne Bastow]

Hi,

I'm trying to fill a rectangle with color in a php generated PDF 
document.  I get the following error:

*Fatal error*: PDFlib error: illegal state 0x in 
*/usr/local/apache/htdocs/EDR/generate_edr.php* on line *144*

I have tried both of the following on line 144:

pdf_setcolor($pdf, "both", "gray", 1);

pdf_setrgbcolor($pdf,1,1,0);

If I comment out the line to set color the PDF document gets generated 
correctly. I can't find any reference* *to this error on mailing lists 
or documentation. I'm using PHP Version 4.1.1 and PDFlib 4.0.1.

Does anyone have any ideas, thanks.

Wayne Bastow

I haven't found it to be particularly easy. It works okay for simple 
things - our example being a web-based generator for simple office 
stationery like business cards and envelopes - but for serious text 
processing you should probably look into adding a few pieces to the 
process.

You can easily generate, for instance, RTF from a database and then pipe
it through any of several freely-available programs that will turn that
into a PDF. This way you don't have to deal with painful details like page
breaks, word wrapping and line lengths, etc.

[PHP] PDFLib Segfault

[Mitch Vincent]

Hello again list, I hope someone out there can help me out with this
problem...

My PDF creation scripts that work on other servers with virtually identical
configuration segfaults Apache on my newest server.. I've been able to track
the problem down to PDF_open_image_file() -- anytime this is called opening
a PNG, Apache segfaults.. I have the latest PHP, Apache, PDFLib, LibPNG and
GD installed, I downloaded them all from their respective websites instead
of just installing from the FBSD ports to be sure.. phpinfo() shows PDFlib,
PNG and GD support compiled in and enabled and the as I said, the PDF
creation script works great on other servers with the same versions of
everything installed... I can't find any useful information in any log file,
error_log included...

Has anyone else run into this problem?

If you guys could CC me in addition to the list that would be great..
Thanks!!!

What OS/distribution? A few months ago I installed 4.0.6 and pdflib on a
SuSE server and it went just fine.



wget newest tarball.

$ cd pdflib-x.x.x
$ ./configure \
--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local \
--with-png-dir=/usr/local \
--with-tiff-dir=/usr/local \

[PHP] PDFLib - Builds & Installs, but doesn't show up in phpinfo()

[Ben Holt]

Hi all,

I've been banging my head against the wall for a few days and have 
finally decided to consult the list.  Here's what I'm trying to do and 
what is happening:

Platform:

Various version of RH Linux, primary 6.2 (on an i586), but when that 
failed (repeatedly) I started trying it on a 7.1 box (Athlon).

Goal:

Build libpdf support into PHP for dynamic pdf generation

What is Happening:

-libpdf appears to configure, build, and install properly (from source)
-php is rebuilt and appears to configure, build, and install properly
-the output of phpinfo() does _not_ list any information on libpdf and 
libpdf functions do not work

What I've Been Doing:

Aside from beating my head against the wall I have been configuring 
libpdf builds with the following:

./configure --enable-shared-pdflib --enable-php --enable-cxx

The output at the end of the ./configure process indicates that shared 
library, C++, and PHP support (among others) has been enabled.

pdflib then appears to build and install properly with 'make; make install'

* Note, I have been blowing away the pdflib source directory and 
re-untaring each time I do a build.

For PHP builds I have been configuring with the following:

./configure --with-apxs --with-pdflib=/usr/local/lib 
--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql --with-zlib=/usr/include 
--with-ttf=/usr/lib --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/lib --with-tiff-dir=/usr/lib

Again, it appears to configure properly. I then build PHP with ./make 
and ./make install.

When apache is restarted and the output of testinfo() is checked pdflib 
is _not_ listed and pdflib specific functions do _not_ work. The 
configure options shown above are listed in the Configure Command 
portion of the output.

Any pointers or tips would be most appreciated.  I would be happy to 
provide any additional information that might explain what I've done.

Thanks,

Ben

[PHP] PDFLib to generate 2+ page with same content

[Norman]

Hi !

I have used the PDFLib to generate a pdf by myself. I would like to
know how to make a page break and then draw second page which the
content is exactly the first page.
I need to repeat this step 9 times so I can use printer function to
print 9-in-1 page.
Thank you very much !!

You need a call to pdf_open_file($pdf) before you can start doing
anything.

[PHP] pdflib?

[Daniel Andersson]

hello

had everything working and fine.
when i went back to the page today, nothing worked.

i can (almost) bet my sack on that i haven't changed any code.

Fatal error: PDFlib error: function 'PDF_set_info' must not be called in
'object' scope

is the error i get.

the code is

 $pdf = pdf_new();

>> pdf_set_info($pdf, "Author", "AuralQuest"); <<
 pdf_set_info($pdf, "Title", "Invoice");
 pdf_set_info($pdf, "Creator", "AuralQuest");
 pdf_set_info($pdf, "Subject", "Invoice");

 pdf_set_parameter($pdf, "warning", "true");


the error is on the "highlighted" line.
if i comment out these lines, i get the same error on the line with

 pdf_begin_page($pdf, 595, 842);


what have i missed?


thanks in advance

RE: [PHP] pdflib + pdf_findfont

[Matthew Loff]

I got the same error message, and couldn't figure out why...

In the example for pdf_findfont(), it has:

$font = pdf_findfont($pdf, "Times New Roman", "winansi", 1);

Try changing your embed parameter to 0...

$font = pdf_findfont($pdf, "Times New Roman", "winansi", 0);

... That fixed it for me.  Give it a try.

[PHP] pdflib+pdi

[Jonathan S]

Hi,
we recently purchased the whole PDFlib+PDI package, however I've been
having trouble installing it.
Many of the different installation instructions i've found have told me
contradictory things.
I have tried using both the binary distribution aswell as the source.
After many rounds of recompiling and testing different options I'm
getting kinda beat.

Can anyone please instruct me on how to get PDFlib and PDI working on my
machine. I need it urgently
for a project. What configure options, what tarballs and what files to
copy between source directories.

I'm using Redhat Linux 7.1

Any help is GREATLY appreciated.
Sincerely Jonathan Svensson / Sweden

In the comments on the php.net pages, i found a few, but i gave up on using
pdf within php, because you had to pay about a thousand odd dollars just to
use the thing, so be prepared to put some cash in to it :D

[PHP] PDFLib and php 4.0.5

[Geir Eivind Mork]

After a great deal of swear words, preassure from my boss and numberous tries I 
now cry out for help. Can anyone compile a howto on installing pdflib so tha 
tit works with php 4.0.5 ? I've tried so many times and neither me or our 
sysadmin can manage to make php understand that I really need to get pdflib and 
php working together. It's not only giving me headache, it's a real pain. 

to compile everything else into or make php use is a like running a hot knife 
through butter but this really ticks me off.

Hi Stewart,

Try again my friend. I've just been there and version 4 is definately
available. I won't ask why your vision is blury - you know what they say,
hairy palms and all that! ;o)

Thanks Dean for the info, I'll give it a whirl when I've got some free time.

I had pdflib version 3.03 and found the patch that Uwe talked about and
that fixed my problem with the creating pdfs out of memory. However,
with IE, you will need to create it from file so you can get the
document length so that IE displays the document appropriately. What I
do to get around this is create the document in a tmp folder with the
time stamp and then unlink the same file after I have appropriately
fpassthru() the file to the browser with the appropriate headers for IE
(Content-length).

I don't know, but I'd love to know the answer to this, too.  I currently have 
to do the same as you: output to file and then direct the browser to the disk-

In case you use pdflib 3.03 check the pdflib page for a patch.
There is a bug if you create documents in memory.

[PHP] pdflib: unable to generate on the fly, need to write to file

[Dominic]

I have successfully installed pdflib with PHP4.0.4pl1 and all the
necessary components. However, I don't know how to output a generated
pdf to the browser without writing it to disk first and then reading it
in. Below are the examples that I use.

This example tries to directly output the pdf to the browser and doesn't
work. The browser says "An error has occured while trying to use this
document."







However, the following script that writes the pdf to disk first and is
then read in works fine:








Any reason why I have to write the pdf to disk instead of just sending
it to the browser? Am I missing an output function? Thanks.

This sounds more like a server or browser problem to me. I don't think
this has anything to do with the pdf* functions.

Furthermore, make sure you use 4.0.4pl1 as 4.0.4 is buggy with PDFlib.

Leave the /lib part out..ie. use --with-pdflib=/usr/local
instead.

[PHP] PDFLIB 3.0 PHP 4.04

[Cal Evans]

Has anyone gotten PHP 4.04 to compile with PDFLIB support?

I have successfully compiled pdflib and all of it's supporting libs. (It
runs the tests that come with it)

But when I ./configure php, I use:

./configure --with-pdflib=/usr/local/lib

And  in the output of configure I see:

...
checking whether to include Pdflib 3.x support... /usr/local/lib
no
...

I can't seem to figure out how to make it say YES!

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cal
