    Methods

    __construct()

    This is the class constructor.

    public __construct([string $orientation = 'P' ][, string $unit = 'mm' ][, mixed $format = 'A4' ][, bool $unicode = true ][, string $encoding = 'UTF-8' ][, bool $diskcache = false ][, false|int $pdfa = false ]) : mixed

    It allows to set up the page format, the orientation and the measure unit used in all the methods (except for the font sizes).

    Parameters
    $orientation : string = 'P'

    page orientation. Possible values are (case insensitive):

    • P or Portrait (default)
    • L or Landscape
    • '' (empty string) for automatic orientation
    $unit : string = 'mm'

    User measure unit. Possible values are:

    • pt: point
    • mm: millimeter (default)
    • cm: centimeter
    • in: inch

    A point equals 1/72 of inch, that is to say about 0.35 mm (an inch being 2.54 cm). This is a very common unit in typography; font sizes are expressed in that unit.
    $format : mixed = 'A4'

    The format used for pages. It can be either: one of the string values specified at getPageSizeFromFormat() or an array of parameters specified at setPageFormat().

    $unicode : bool = true

    TRUE means that the input text is unicode (default = true)

    $encoding : string = 'UTF-8'

    Charset encoding (used only when converting back html entities); default is UTF-8.

    $diskcache : bool = false

    DEPRECATED FEATURE

    $pdfa : false|int = false

    If not false, set the document to PDF/A mode and the good version (1 or 3).

    AddFont()

    Imports a TrueType, Type1, core, or CID0 font and makes it available.

    public AddFont(string $family[, string $style = '' ][, string $fontfile = '' ][, mixed $subset = 'default' ]) : array<string|int, mixed>|false

    It is necessary to generate a font definition file first (read /fonts/utils/README.TXT). The definition file (and the font file itself when embedding) must be present either in the current directory or in the one indicated by K_PATH_FONTS if the constant is defined. If it could not be found, the error "Could not include font definition file" is generated.

    Parameters
    $family : string

    Font family. The name can be chosen arbitrarily. If it is a standard family name, it will override the corresponding font.

    $style : string = ''

    Font style. Possible values are (case insensitive):

    • empty string: regular (default)
    • B: bold
    • I: italic
    • BI or IB: bold italic
    $fontfile : string = ''

    The font definition file. By default, the name is built from the family and style, in lower case with no spaces.

    $subset : mixed = 'default'

    if true embedd only a subset of the font (stores only the information related to the used characters); if false embedd full font; if 'default' uses the default value set using setFontSubsetting(). This option is valid only for TrueTypeUnicode fonts. If you want to enable users to change the document, set this parameter to false. If you subset the font, the person who receives your PDF would need to have your same font in order to make changes to your PDF. The file size of the PDF would also be smaller because you are embedding only part of a font.

    Cell()

    Prints a cell (rectangular area) with optional borders, background color and character string. The upper-left corner of the cell corresponds to the current position. The text can be aligned or centered. After the call, the current position moves to the right or to the next line. It is possible to put a link on the text.<br /> If automatic page breaking is enabled and the cell goes beyond the limit, a page break is done before outputting.

    public Cell(float $w[, float $h = 0 ][, string $txt = '' ][, mixed $border = 0 ][, int $ln = 0 ][, string $align = '' ][, bool $fill = false ][, mixed $link = '' ][, int $stretch = 0 ][, bool $ignore_min_height = false ][, string $calign = 'T' ][, string $valign = 'M' ]) : mixed
    Parameters
    $w : float

    Cell width. If 0, the cell extends up to the right margin.

    $h : float = 0

    Cell height. Default value: 0.

    $txt : string = ''

    String to print. Default value: empty string.

    $border : mixed = 0

    Indicates if borders must be drawn around the cell. The value can be a number:

    • 0: no border (default)
    • 1: frame
    or a string containing some or all of the following characters (in any order):
    • L: left
    • T: top
    • R: right
    • B: bottom
    or an array of line styles for each border group - for example: array('LTRB' => array('width' => 2, 'cap' => 'butt', 'join' => 'miter', 'dash' => 0, 'color' => array(0, 0, 0)))
    $ln : int = 0

    Indicates where the current position should go after the call. Possible values are:

    • 0: to the right (or left for RTL languages)
    • 1: to the beginning of the next line
    • 2: below
    Putting 1 is equivalent to putting 0 and calling Ln() just after. Default value: 0.
    $align : string = ''

    Allows to center or align the text. Possible values are:

    • L or empty string: left align (default value)
    • C: center
    • R: right align
    • J: justify
    $fill : bool = false

    Indicates if the cell background must be painted (true) or transparent (false).

    $link : mixed = ''

    URL or identifier returned by AddLink().

    $stretch : int = 0

    font stretch mode:

    • 0 = disabled
    • 1 = horizontal scaling only if text is larger than cell width
    • 2 = forced horizontal scaling to fit cell width
    • 3 = character spacing only if text is larger than cell width
    • 4 = forced character spacing to fit cell width
    General font stretching and scaling values will be preserved when possible.
    $ignore_min_height : bool = false

    if true ignore automatic minimum height value.

    $calign : string = 'T'

    cell vertical alignment relative to the specified Y value. Possible values are:

    • T : cell top
    • C : center
    • B : cell bottom
    • A : font top
    • L : font baseline
    • D : font bottom
    $valign : string = 'M'

    text vertical alignment inside the cell. Possible values are:

    • T : top
    • C : center
    • B : bottom

    Generally, if you want to know the exact height for a block of content you can use the following alternative technique:

    Parameters
    $w : float

    Width of cells. If 0, they extend up to the right margin of the page.

    $txt : string

    String for calculating his height

    $reseth : bool = false

    if true reset the last cell height (default false).

    $autopadding : bool = true

    if true, uses internal padding and automatically adjust it to account for line width (default true).

    $cellpadding : array<string|int, mixed>|null = null

    Internal cell padding, if empty uses default cell padding.

    $border : mixed = 0

    Indicates if borders must be drawn around the cell. The value can be a number:

    • 0: no border (default)
    • 1: frame
    or a string containing some or all of the following characters (in any order):
    • L: left
    • T: top
    • R: right
    • B: bottom
    or an array of line styles for each border group - for example: array('LTRB' => array('width' => 2, 'cap' => 'butt', 'join' => 'miter', 'dash' => 0, 'color' => array(0, 0, 0)))

    The upper-left corner must be given. The dimensions can be specified in different ways:

    • explicit width and height (expressed in user unit)
    • one explicit dimension, the other being calculated automatically in order to keep the original proportions
    • no explicit dimension, in which case the image is put at 72 dpi
    Supported formats are JPEG and PNG images whitout GD library and all images supported by GD: GD, GD2, GD2PART, GIF, JPEG, PNG, BMP, XBM, XPM; The format can be specified explicitly or inferred from the file extension.
    It is possible to put a link on the image.
    Remark: if an image is used several times, only one copy will be embedded in the file.
    Parameters
    $file : string

    $fitbox : mixed = false

    If not false scale image dimensions proportionally to fit within the ($w, $h) box. $fitbox can be true or a 2 characters string indicating the image alignment inside the box. The first character indicate the horizontal alignment (L = left, C = center, R = right) the second character indicate the vertical algnment (T = top, M = middle, B = bottom).

    $hidden : bool = false

    If true do not display the image.

    $fitonpage : bool = false

    If true the image is resized to not exceed page dimensions.

    $alt : bool = false

    If true the image will be added as alternative and not directly printed (the ID of the image will be returned).

    $altimgs : array<string|int, mixed> = array()

    Array of alternate images IDs. Each alternative image must be an array with two values: an integer representing the image ID (the value returned by the Image method) and a boolean value to indicate if the image is the default for printing.

    ImageEps()

    Embed vector-based Adobe Illustrator (AI) or AI-compatible EPS files.

    public ImageEps(string $file[, float|null $x = null ][, float|null $y = null ][, float $w = 0 ][, float $h = 0 ][, mixed $link = '' ][, bool $useBoundingBox = true ][, string $align = '' ][, string $palign = '' ][, mixed $border = 0 ][, bool $fitonpage = false ][, bool $fixoutvals = false ]) : mixed

    NOTE: EPS is not yet fully implemented, use the setRasterizeVectorImages() method to enable/disable rasterization of vector images using ImageMagick library. Only vector drawing is supported, not text or bitmap. Although the script was successfully tested with various AI format versions, best results are probably achieved with files that were exported in the AI3 format (tested with Illustrator CS2, Freehand MX and Photoshop CS2).

    Parameters
    $file : string

    Name of the file containing the image or a '@' character followed by the EPS/AI data string.

    $x : float|null = null

    public ImageSVG(string $file[, float|null $x = null ][, float|null $y = null ][, float $w = 0 ][, float $h = 0 ][, mixed $link = '' ][, string $align = '' ][, string $palign = '' ][, mixed $border = 0 ][, bool $fitonpage = false ]) : mixed

    NOTE: SVG standard is not yet fully implemented, use the setRasterizeVectorImages() method to enable/disable rasterization of vector images using ImageMagick library.

    Parameters
    $file : string

    Name of the SVG file or a '@' character followed by the SVG data string.

    $x : float|null = null

    Abscissa of the upper-left corner.

    $y : float|null = null

    Ordinate of the upper-left corner.

    $w : float = 0

    Width of the image in the page. If not specified or equal to zero, it is automatically calculated.

    $h : float = 0

    Height of the image in the page. If not specified or equal to zero, it is automatically calculated.

    $link : mixed = ''

    URL or identifier returned by AddLink().

    $align : string = ''

    Indicates the alignment of the pointer next to image insertion relative to image height. The value can be:

    • T: top-right for LTR or top-left for RTL
    • M: middle-right for LTR or middle-left for RTL
    • B: bottom-right for LTR or bottom-left for RTL
    • N: next line
    If the alignment is an empty string, then the pointer will be restored on the starting SVG position.
    $palign : string = ''

    Allows to center or align the image on the current line. Possible values are:

    • L : left align
    • C : center
    • R : right align
    • '' : empty string : left for LTR or right for RTL
    $border : mixed = 0

    Indicates if borders must be drawn around the cell. The value can be a number:

    • 0: no border (default)
    • 1: frame
    or a string containing some or all of the following characters (in any order):
    • L: left
    • T: top
    • R: right
    • B: bottom
    or an array of line styles for each border group - for example: array('LTRB' => array('width' => 2, 'cap' => 'butt', 'join' => 'miter', 'dash' => 0, 'color' => array(0, 0, 0)))
    $fitonpage : bool = false

    if true the image is resized to not exceed page dimensions.

    MultiCell()

    This method allows printing text with line breaks.

    public MultiCell(float $w, float $h, string $txt[, mixed $border = 0 ][, string $align = 'J' ][, bool $fill = false ][, int $ln = 1 ][, float|null $x = null ][, float|null $y = null ][, bool $reseth = true ][, int $stretch = 0 ][, bool $ishtml = false ][, bool $autopadding = true ][, float $maxh = 0 ][, string $valign = 'T' ][, bool $fitcell = false ]) : int

    They can be automatic (as soon as the text reaches the right border of the cell) or explicit (via the \n character). As many cells as necessary are output, one below the other.
    Text can be aligned, centered or justified. The cell block can be framed and the background painted.

    Parameters
    $w : float

    Width of cells. If 0, they extend up to the right margin of the page.

    $h : float

    Cell minimum height. The cell extends automatically if needed.

    $txt : string

    String to print

    $border : mixed = 0

    Indicates if borders must be drawn around the cell. The value can be a number:

    • 0: no border (default)
    • 1: frame
    or a string containing some or all of the following characters (in any order):
    • L: left
    • T: top
    • R: right
    • B: bottom
    or an array of line styles for each border group - for example: array('LTRB' => array('width' => 2, 'cap' => 'butt', 'join' => 'miter', 'dash' => 0, 'color' => array(0, 0, 0)))
    $align : string = 'J'

    Allows to center or align the text. Possible values are:

    • L or empty string: left align
    • C: center
    • R: right align
    • J: justification (default value when $ishtml=false)
    $fill : bool = false

    Indicates if the cell background must be painted (true) or transparent (false).

    $ln : int = 1

    Indicates where the current position should go after the call. Possible values are:

    • 0: to the right
    • 1: to the beginning of the next line [DEFAULT]
    • 2: below
    $x : float|null = null

    x position in user units

    $y : float|null = null

    y position in user units

    $reseth : bool = true

    if true reset the last cell height (default true).

    $stretch : int = 0

    font stretch mode:

    • 0 = disabled
    • 1 = horizontal scaling only if text is larger than cell width
    • 2 = forced horizontal scaling to fit cell width
    • 3 = character spacing only if text is larger than cell width
    • 4 = forced character spacing to fit cell width
    General font stretching and scaling values will be preserved when possible.
    $ishtml : bool = false

    INTERNAL USE ONLY -- set to true if $txt is HTML content (default = false). Never set this parameter to true, use instead writeHTMLCell() or writeHTML() methods.

    $autopadding : bool = true

    if true, uses internal padding and automatically adjust it to account for line width.

    $maxh : float = 0

    maximum height. It should be >= $h and less then remaining space to the bottom of the page, or 0 for disable this feature. This feature works only when $ishtml=false.

    $valign : string = 'T'

    Vertical alignment of text (requires $maxh = $h > 0). Possible values are:

    • T: TOP
    • M: middle
    • B: bottom
    . This feature works only when $ishtml=false and the cell must fit in a single page.
    $fitcell : bool = false

    if true attempt to fit all the text within the cell by reducing the font size (do not work in HTML mode). $maxh must be greater than 0 and equal to $h.

    printTemplate()

    Print an XObject Template.

    public printTemplate(string $id[, float|null $x = null ][, float|null $y = null ][, float $w = 0 ][, float $h = 0 ][, string $align = '' ][, string $palign = '' ][, bool $fitonpage = false ]) : mixed

    You can print an XObject Template inside the currently opened Template. An XObject Template is a PDF block that is a self-contained description of any sequence of graphics objects (including path objects, text objects, and sampled images). An XObject Template may be painted multiple times, either on several pages or at several locations on the same page and produces the same results each time, subject only to the graphics state at the time it is invoked.

    Parameters
    $id : string

    The ID of XObject Template to print.

    $x : float|null = null

    X position in user units (empty string = current x position)

    $y : float|null = null

    Y position in user units (empty string = current y position)

    $w : float = 0

    Width in user units (zero = remaining page width)

    $h : float = 0

    Height in user units (zero = remaining page height)

    $align : string = ''

    Indicates the alignment of the pointer next to template insertion relative to template height. The value can be:

    • T: top-right for LTR or top-left for RTL
    • M: middle-right for LTR or middle-left for RTL
    • B: bottom-right for LTR or bottom-left for RTL
    • N: next line
    $palign : string = ''

    Allows to center or align the template on the current line. Possible values are:

    • L : left align
    • C : center
    • R : right align
    • '' : empty string : left for LTR or right for RTL
    $fitonpage : bool = false

    If true the template is resized to not exceed page dimensions.

    setFont()

    Sets the font used to print character strings.

    public setFont(string $family[, string $style = '' ][, float|null $size = null ][, string $fontfile = '' ][, mixed $subset = 'default' ][, bool $out = true ]) : mixed

    The font can be either a standard one or a font added via the AddFont() method. Standard fonts use Windows encoding cp1252 (Western Europe). The method can be called before the first page is created and the font is retained from page to page. If you just wish to change the current font size, it is simpler to call SetFontSize(). Note: for the standard fonts, the font metric files must be accessible. There are three possibilities for this:

    • They are in the current directory (the one where the running script lies)
    • They are in one of the directories defined by the include_path parameter
    • They are in the directory defined by the K_PATH_FONTS constant

    Parameters
    $family : string

    Family font. It can be either a name defined by AddFont() or one of the standard Type1 families (case insensitive):

    • times (Times-Roman)
    • timesb (Times-Bold)
    • timesi (Times-Italic)
    • timesbi (Times-BoldItalic)
    • helvetica (Helvetica)
    • helveticab (Helvetica-Bold)
    • helveticai (Helvetica-Oblique)
    • helveticabi (Helvetica-BoldOblique)
    • courier (Courier)
    • courierb (Courier-Bold)
    • courieri (Courier-Oblique)
    • courierbi (Courier-BoldOblique)
    • symbol (Symbol)
    • zapfdingbats (ZapfDingbats)
    It is also possible to pass an empty string. In that case, the current family is retained.
    $style : string = ''

    Font style. Possible values are (case insensitive):

    • empty string: regular
    • B: bold
    • I: italic
    • U: underline
    • D: line through
    • O: overline
    or any combination. The default value is regular. Bold and italic styles do not apply to Symbol and ZapfDingbats basic fonts or other fonts when not defined.
    $size : float|null = null

    Font size in points. The default value is the current size. If no size has been specified since the beginning of the document, the value taken is 12

    $fontfile : string = ''

    The font definition file. By default, the name is built from the family and style, in lower case with no spaces.

    $subset : mixed = 'default'

    if true embedd only a subset of the font (stores only the information related to the used characters); if false embedd full font; if 'default' uses the default value set using setFontSubsetting(). This option is valid only for TrueTypeUnicode fonts. If you want to enable users to change the document, set this parameter to false. If you subset the font, the person who receives your PDF would need to have your same font in order to make changes to your PDF. The file size of the PDF would also be smaller because you are embedding only part of a font.

    $out : bool = true

    if true output the font size command, otherwise only set the font properties.

    If you don't set any password, the document will open as usual. If you set a user password, the PDF viewer will ask for it before displaying the document. The master password, if different from the user one, can be used to get full access. Note: protecting a document requires to encrypt it, which increases the processing time a lot. This can cause a PHP time-out in some cases, especially if the document contains images or fonts.

    Parameters
    $permissions : array<string|int, mixed> = array('print', 'modify', 'copy', 'annot-forms', 'fill-forms', 'extract', 'assemble', 'print-high')

    the set of permissions (specify the ones you want to block):

    • print : Print the document;
    • modify : Modify the contents of the document by operations other than those controlled by 'fill-forms', 'extract' and 'assemble';
    • copy : Copy or otherwise extract text and graphics from the document;
    • annot-forms : Add or modify text annotations, fill in interactive form fields, and, if 'modify' is also set, create or modify interactive form fields (including signature fields);
    • fill-forms : Fill in existing interactive form fields (including signature fields), even if 'annot-forms' is not specified;
    • extract : Extract text and graphics (in support of accessibility to users with disabilities or for other purposes);
    • assemble : Assemble the document (insert, rotate, or delete pages and create bookmarks or thumbnail images), even if 'modify' is not set;
    • print-high : Print the document to a representation from which a faithful digital copy of the PDF content could be generated. When this is not set, printing is limited to a low-level representation of the appearance, possibly of degraded quality.
    • owner : (inverted logic - only for public-key) when set permits change of encryption and enables all other permissions.
    $user_pass : string = ''

    user password. Empty by default.

    $owner_pass : string|null = null

    owner password. If not specified, a random value is used.

    $mode : int = 0
