Details

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

This is the class constructor.

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

string $orientation

page orientation. Possible values are (case insensitive):

  • P or Portrait (default)
  • L or Landscape
  • '' (empty string) for automatic orientation

string $unit

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.

mixed $format

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().

bool $unicode

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

string $encoding

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

bool $diskcache

DEPRECATED FEATURE

false|int $pdfa

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

addTOCPage()

AddPage(string $orientation = '', mixed $format = '', bool $keepmargins = false, bool $tocpage = false)

Since: 1.0

Adds a new page to the document. If a page is already present, the Footer() method is called first to output the footer (if enabled). Then the page is added, the current position set to the top-left corner according to the left and top margins (or top-right if in RTL mode), and Header() is called to display the header (if enabled).

The origin of the coordinate system is at the top-left corner (or top-right for RTL) and increasing ordinates go downwards.

Parameters

string $orientation

page orientation. Possible values are (case insensitive):

  • P or PORTRAIT (default)
  • L or LANDSCAPE

mixed $format

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().

bool $keepmargins

if true overwrites the default page margins with the current margins

bool $tocpage

if true set the tocpage state to true (the added page will be used to display Table Of Content).

array|false AddFont(string $family, string $style = '', string $fontfile = '', mixed $subset = 'default')

Since: 1.5

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

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

string $family

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

string $style

Font style. Possible values are (case insensitive):

  • empty string: regular (default)
  • B: bold
  • I: italic
  • BI or IB: bold italic

string $fontfile

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

mixed $subset

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.

Return Value

array|false

array containing the font data, or false in case of error.

See also

SetFont()
setFontSubsetting()

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

Since: 1.0

Sets the font used to print character strings.

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

string $family

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.

string $style

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.

float|null $size

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

string $fontfile

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

mixed $subset

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.

bool $out

Since: 2.0.000 (2008-01-02)

Set document protection Remark: the protection against modification is for people who have the full Acrobat product.

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

array $permissions

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.

string $user_pass

user password. Empty by default.

string|null $owner_pass

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