I am trying to draw Devanagari text on image using PHP ImageMagick.
ImageMagick renders text correctly if I use font available in the system, but not when loading a font from a file.
For exmaple if use
$imagick->setFont('Lohit Marathi');// installed font
works correctly but if I use
$imagick->setFont("fonts/lohit_mr.ttf");//load from file
Font does not loads and it renders using default font.
code I am trying is as follows
<?php
$imagick = new Imagick();
$imagick->setFont('ANY_SYSTEM_FONT') // works;
$imagick->setFont('somefont.ttf') // does not work;
?>
Can someone point out anything I am missing?

I am working with laravael,I have an HTML view that has CSS integrated. I want to convert into a PDF. If I open the view (it doesn't mather if I open it via my Documents or by a link in my app) it works fine, everything looks ok. But if I get that file and generate a PDF with dompdf, when I open it the css for the background and the images are in their places but the texts change places and have another size.
Here is how I convert it to a PDF
$file = file_get_contents("../resources/views/panel/historial/pdfs/otros.html");
$dompdf = new DOMPDF();
$dompdf->loadHtml($file);
//$dompdf->load_html_file($html);
$dompdf->render();
$dompdf->stream("otros.pdf", array("Attachment" => 0));
return $dompdf;
enter image description here
I think that is not working in that way to except then the DOMPDF-Renderer has not the full CSS functionality.

Here is a list of elements that are supported. So in your case i would suggest that you render a new template and make it with a different style for your PDF.
Another good solution is wkhtmltopdf which has a better support but is a command line tool which you have to call over php or if you don't need PHP then run it directly from your command line.

I am using FPDF to generate a pdf. I am placing an image onto the A4 page layout and do not want to see the white page background. Is it possible to make this transparent?
I have tried the following code below, but this also sets any subsequent image added to the page also transparent.
PHP with the following script (click here for script)
$pdf = new AlphaPDF('P','pt','A4');
$pdf->AddPage();
$pdf->SetAlpha(0);
Im scripting to generate a PDF file using TCPDF library, all I want now is to add font files into the document, I could add them using "SetFont" like
$pdf->SetFont('myfont', '', 10);
and its when I execute this script, the document in browser is rendering fonts perfectly, if I save it and open in another machine then fonts are working with, default fallback font is applying.
I did check it by going to File->Properties->Fonts in Adobe reader, font file is listed there, but text is missing the font.
Any idea will be helpful.
You will probably want to embed the font using $pdf->AddFont().
A longer description of the differences between SetFont(), AddFont() and AddTTFFont() here:
TCPDF, "Could not include font definition file" with OpenType fonts
I just started using dompdf v0.6.0beta3 and the dompdf Codeigniter helper with Codeigniter. I have copied the Arial font family tff files from Windows 7 font folder to dompdf's /lib/fonts folder.
Problem: When I select a text using CSS and apply the font-weight: bold property, on the HTML output it is indeed bold, but after converting to PDF via dompdf, the text is no longer in bold!
font-size: 24px does not work, all text in the pdf are the same sizes. And the only font being used in the pdf appears to be Times New Roman!
How can I make my text bold and change its size and font in the pdf?
PHP (Controller)
function pdf() {
$this->load->model('resume_model');
$results = $this->resume_model->get_resume_details($user_id);
$this->load->helper(array('dompdf', 'file'));
$html = $this->load->view('resume_pdf', $results, true);
pdf_create($html, 'filename');
}
Is your stylesheet external to your HTML content? If so you may just have a path problem. The plugin appears to use $dompdf->load_html() to load the document. DOMPDF has no knowledge of your website when used in this way and will work off the local file system. What this means for you is that file paths are relative to the currently-executing file. If the path is absolute (e.g. /css/main.css) then DOMPDF will look for this file off the root of the file system. Instead of looking for the file at /wwwroot/content/css/main.css it will look for /css/main.css.
The quickest fix, if this is your problem, would be to add a full URL, including domain, to your file references (e.g. http://example.com/css/main.css).
Is it possible to print html div tag with style on image in PHP?. if not, then what is the alternative way?
Some hosts have ImageMagick for PHP. To add text to your image, take a look at the syntax of the commands here. The example given on that page should help some - it's pretty easy to get text on an image.
The benefits of using ImageMagick over a fixed image is that you can vary the content of the text, which is what you might want (you didn't mention needing a static text; for this, I'd use an image with a transparent background). For more comprehensive font commands, take a look here.
To put a transparent image on top of your base image, take a look at this very nicely designed site.
I'll also give the code presented on that site here:
$photo = imagecreatefromjpeg("original.jpg");
$watermark = imagecreatefrompng("watermark.png");
// This is the key. Without ImageAlphaBlending on, the PNG won't render correctly.
imagealphablending($photo, true);
// Copy the watermark onto the master, $offset px from the bottom right corner.
$offset = 10;
imagecopy($photo, $watermark, imagesx($photo) - imagesx($watermark) - $offset, imagesy($photo) - imagesy($watermark) - $offset, 0, 0, imagesx($watermark), imagesy($watermark));
// Output to the browser
header("Content-Type: image/jpeg");
imagejpeg($photo);
To output the image to a file, please Google that and replace the last two lines of the example given above.
For ImageMagick stuff, take a look here
I hope this helps :-)

You can set the image as the background graphic of any div using CSS. Then the text within that div will appear on top of the image.
(CSS)
.mydiv {
background:url(/path/to/image.gif);
width:100px; /* set to width of the image */
height:100px; /* set to height of the image */
}
(HTML)
<div class='mydiv'>Some text here</div>
There is no easy way to print text on images using html/css on server side, because php can't parse html, so you'd better find another solution like php GD.
