Re: FPDF or PDFlib with Cake
Hi
Thanks for all, it works. I found only one mistake it should be
public $Pdf = null
in helper, not private or for every method should be created method
Thanks for your help

Re: FPDF or PDFlib with Cake
If the fpdf libraries are at all recent you shouldn't have to use the
goofy php4 constructor. I think if you add your custom pdf class to
your vendors folder and instantiate it from a custom helper as a
member variable you could do a lot more, much more easily.
I actually enjoyed this question so I whipped up a quick example for
you - https://gist.github.com/1055702
I make no guarantees that any of the code works right out of the 'box'
seeing as how I just wrote it and it hasn't been tested or even really
checked for consistency or errors but it should get you well on your
way to doing this the right way.

Re: FPDF or PDFlib with Cake
Ok I solved all problems and it works
To last problem I added an extra argument to core function in fpdf.php
function FPDF($ww=null, $orientation='P', $unit='mm', $size='A4')
but if someone knows how to solve this without this trick i will
listen to suggestions

Re: FPDF or PDFlib with Cake
two things
1) orienation error is due to you not setting the page as either landscape
or portrait.
it seems that it should default to portrait but that message suggests
something is wrong - its a fpdf error and you should read the docs for fpdf
2) $this->Fpdf->AddPage() for helpers in cake 1.3 (future proof I think it
still works $fpdf->AddPage() but 1.3 migration mentions changing this)
I am not sure which pdf tool I used back then I do know that I tried them
all before deciding on the one I used. That feature of the site has since
been removed for other reasons

Re: FPDF or PDFlib with Cake
I'm using this tutorial
http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/sdevore_myopenid_com/2007/01/27/pdf-helper-using-fpdf
but it is prepared to Cake's version 1.2 and it gives me some errors.
I have to read about Helpers
What i did till know:
Helper views/helpers/pdf.php
'fpdf/fpdf.php'));
if (!defined('PARAGRAPH_STRING')) define('PARAGRAPH_STRING', '~~~');
class PdfHelper extends FPDF {
/**
* Allows you to change the defaults set in the FPDF constructor
*
* @param string $orientation page orientation values: P, Portrait,
L, or Landscape(default is P)
* @param string $unit values: pt (point 1/72 of an inch), mm, cm,
in. Default is mm
* @param string $format values: A3, A4, A5, Letter, Legal or a two
element array with the width and height in unit given in $unit
*/
function setup ($orientation='P',$unit='mm',$format='A4') {
$this->FPDF($orientation, $unit, $format);
}
/**
* Allows you to control how the pdf is returned to the user, most
of the time in CakePHP you probably want the string
*
* @param string $name name of the file.
* @param string $destination where to send the document values: I, D, F, S
* @return string if the $destination is S
*/
function fpdfOutput ($name = 'page.pdf', $destination = 's') {
// I: send the file inline to the browser. The plug-in is used
if available.
//The name given by name is used when one selects the
"Save as" option on the link generating the PDF.
// D: send to the browser and force a file download with the
name given by name.
// F: save to a local file with the name given by name.
// S: return the document as a string. name is ignored.
return $this->Output($name, $destination);
}
}
?>
Layout views/layouts/pdf.ctp
Controller contollers/test_controller.php
layout = 'pdf'; //this will use the pdf.thtml layout
$this->set('data','hello world!');
$this->render();
}
}
?>
Tests View views/tests/index_pdf.ctp
AddPage();
$fpdf->SetFont('Arial','B',16);
$fpdf->Cell(40,10,$data);
echo $fpdf->fpdfOutput();
?>
And connection with cake is working but i'm getting error from FPDF
FPDF error: Incorrect orientation:

Re: FPDF or PDFlib with Cake
What is giving you issues currently?
Back when 1.2 was beta I made a link that allowed users to get a off version
of a page.
Check that the vendor is found correctly
Then made a simple static view out to off and build from there.
Core debug will need to be 0 to display the pdf that can be frustrating.

Re: FPDF or PDFlib with Cake
the bakery does have a few articles on pdf generation within cake
app import the vendor.
App::import('Vendor', '*FPDF*', array('file' => '*fpdf*/*fpdf*.php'));
or do you want to create a visualization of model relations in pdf format?
