[PHP] pdflib greek problem
Hi,
I am trying the following code to generate a pdf:
try {
// Create a new pdf handler
$pdf = new PDFlib();
// open new PDF file
if ($pdf-begin_document(, ) == 0) {
die(Error: . $p-get_errmsg());
}
// Set some info to the new pdf
$pdf-set_info(Creator, Test);
$pdf-set_info(Author, Test);
$pdf-set_info(Title, Test);
// Start the page
$pdf-begin_page_ext(595, 842, );
// Load the documents font and set the details
$font = $pdf-load_font(Times-Roman, iso8859-7, );
$pdf-setfont($font,24.0);
$pdf-set_parameter('autospace',TRUE);
// Set the position inside the document
$pdf-set_text_pos(50, 700);
// Now start to show the data
$str = 'Αυτό είναι ένα τεστ.';
mb_convert_variables('ISO-8859-7','UTF-8',$str);
$pdf-show($str);
// End the page and the document
$pdf-end_page_ext();
$pdf-end_document();
// Get the document from the buffer find it's length
$buf = $pdf-get_buffer();
$len = strlen($buf);
// And finally print it out to the browser
header(Content-type: application/pdf);
header(Content-Length: $len);
header(Content-Disposition: inline; filename=hello.pdf);
print $buf;
}
catch (PDFlibException $e) {
die(PDFlib exception occurred in hello sample:\n .
[ . $e-get_errnum() . ] . $e-get_apiname() . : .
$e-get_errmsg() . \n);
}
catch (Exception $e) {
die($e);
}
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.

[PHP] pdflib - change text color mid-sentence
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. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

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. 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 -- Some people have a gift link here.

[PHP] PDFlib, transparency and TIFF images
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 Spng Arthursson Sweden / Denmark -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

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.

[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...

[PHP] PDFlib Page Dimensions and Word Wrap
Hello, I have read the http://us4.php.net/manual/en/ref.pdf.php and am unable to find a solution for what I'm trying to do. I've also tried googling for what I'm trying to do. No luck there either. I've also downloaded the PDFlib docs but no luck there. When using PDFlib you specify page dimensions. Why then, does it not automatically wrap words/texts/sentences to the next line? Is there something I'm missing to have PDFlib automatically do this? No matter the amount of text in the variable I'm trying to print in the pdf, it just runs off the right side of the pdf document.

[PHP] PDFlib --pixels?
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!.
Oscar.-

Sorry, The code wasn't complete for the scaling thing.

if ($dpi_x 0 $dpi_y 0){
$scale_x =(72.0)/$dpi_x;
$scale_y =(72.0)/$dpi_y;
} else if ($dpi_x 0 $dpi_y 0){
$scale_x = 1.0;
$scale_y = $dpi_y / $dpi_x;
} else {
$scale_x =1.0;
$scale_y =1.0;
}

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

I have got it installed and started experimenting with it but ether it is extremely convoluted or I am missing something. How would I create a simple list report (the type you would do in a table). It seems all I can to is specify X/Y coordinates and print text. Don't know how many pages the report will be for a start.

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. miguel -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] PDFLib
From http://www.pdflib.com/pdflib/faq.html: This demo stamp appears when one of our binaries distributed by PDFlib GmbH is used. It can be disabled by purchasing a PDFlib license, and applying the delivered license key (serial) at runtime with the PDF_set_parameter() function as indicated in the manual. With the ActiveX/COM edition of PDFlib the serial can also be supplied during the installation process. I have a license key, now what parameters do I pass PDF_set_parameter()? The PHP man doesn't say, nor does the PDFLib man (so far as I can tell). Any help would be greatly appreciated- I'm getting pretty frustrated.

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

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

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.
Why not just put a loop around your code?
ie.
?
$pdf = pdf_new();
pdf_open_file($pdf);
...
$i=0;
while($i9) {
pdf_begin_page($pdf, $x, $y);
...
pdf_end_page($pdf);
$i++;
}
pdf_close($pdf);
$data = pdf_get_buffer($pdf);
header('Content-type: application/pdf');
header(Content-disposition: inline; filename=foo.pdf);
header(Content-length: . strlen($data));
echo $data
?

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.

( which I don't yet have any experience with..) My question: Who has got some experience with this..? I grabbed a tarball of php-4.0.4pl1 and pdflib4.0.0.. Compiled both and tried to load the library via de dl option.. PHP can't seem to find this.. I am now busy to try and do it the old way and compile PHP with the PDFlib option enabled.. (did copy the /ext/pdf directory from pdflib to my php!) But if possible I would rather use the option in which the library is loaded into PHP as an library.. Speed isues aren't important, I want an easy and flexible way the change PDFlib versions without needing to recompile anything.. I also read that this was possible with the GD library.. I will be glad if I can hear anyone with some experiences with this new PDFlib.. I look forward getting this to work! Thanks in advance..

[PHP] pdflib
Hello, how do I get a whole paragraph written in pdf using pdflib function PDF-show-xy? Or is there another function or method to manage this? I appreciate any hint. Thank you.

[PHP] PDFLib, PHP 4.0.4, Arrrrrrgh!
Ok this used to work but now I've done something to break it. My info.php says that I have PHP support: pdf PDF Support enabled PDFLib Version 3.03 CJK Font Support yes In-memory PDF Creation Support yes BUT when I try and run the clock test code, I get: Fatal error: Call to undefined function: pdf_new() in /home/httpd/pwn/htdocs/test/test.php on line 6 The first 6 lines of code are: ?php $radius = 200; $margin = 20; $pagecount = 10; $pdf = PDF_new(); It seems that PHP doesn't want to recognize any fo the PDF functions. Anybody got ANY idea what's wrong?

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

I currently have to do the same as you: output to file and then direct the browser to the disk- based file. (Then I have to bother about file cleanup.) 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). -- Dominic -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[PHP] PDFLIB 3.0 PHP 4.04
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.
