I am trying to add a landscape page in the middle of a portrait PDF generated from HTML. I have set AutoPageBreak to true, but this results in the pages overlapping when I call AddPage(). For example:
$pageBody = "<h1>Test</h1><p>Long content here so that auto page break comes into effect</p>";
$pageBody .= "<br pagebreak=\"true\" /><h2>Page Two</h2>";
$pdf = new TCPDF(PDF_PAGE_ORIENTATION, PDF_UNIT, PDF_PAGE_FORMAT, true, 'UTF-8', false);
$pdf->AddPage();
$pdf->SetAutoPageBreak(TRUE, PDF_MARGIN_BOTTOM);
$pdf->writeHTMLCell(170, '', 20, 50, $pageBody, 0, 0, false, true, '', true);
$pdf->endPage();
$pageBody2 = "<h1>Test Page 3 Landscape</h1>";
$pdf->AddPage('L');
$pdf->writeHTMLCell(170, '', 20, 50, $pageBody2, 0, 0, false, true, '', true);
$pdf->endPage();
$pdf->Output('my.pdf', 'I');
That results in the first pages displaying correctly (after being auto page broken), but the second content, pageBody2, being overlapped on top of the first set of page(s).
You need to change the $ln (7th) parameter of the writeHTMLCell() calls in your AutoPageBreak-broken pages from 0 to 1 (or 2):
$pdf->writeHTMLCell(170, '', 20, 50, $pageBody, 0, 1, false, true, '', true);
so that the new landscape page goes to the beginning of the next line (1) or below (2) the last box of $pageBody instead of to the right of it.
for adding pagebreak,use
<br pagebreak="true"/>
or
<tcpdf method="AddPage" />
I am new in PHP. i am using TCPDF to generate pdf file with php coding. I have a problem. I am not able to send file inline to the browser. when i click on file link it begin to start. I want to send it to the browser inline.
Here is my Code
<?php
require_once('tcpdf/tcpdf.php');
class MYPDF extends TCPDF {
//Page header
public function Header() {
// Logo
$image_file ='image/pacra.jpg';
$this->Image($image_file, 100, 05, 15);
// Set font
$this->SetFont('helvetica', 'I', 15);
// Title
$this->SetTextColor(0,63,127);
$this->Cell(0,50, 'The Pakistan Credit Rating Agency Limited', 0, false, 'C', 0, '', 0, false);
// $this->setColor(0,63,127);
$this->Line(10,30,200,30);
/*$style = array('width' => 0.5, 'cap' => 'butt', 'join' => 'miter', 'dash' => '10,20,5,10', 'phase' => 10, 'color' => array(255, 0, 0));
$this->Line(5, 10, 80, 30, $style);*/
}
// Page footer
public function Footer() {
// Position at 15 mm from bottom
$this->SetY(-25);
// Set font
$this->SetFont('helvetica', 'I', 8);
// Page number
$this->Cell(0, 05, 'Awami Complex FB-1, Usman Block, New Garden Town, Lahore - 54600, Pakistan'
, 0, false, 'C', 0, '', 0, false, 'T', 'M');
$this->Ln();
$this->Cell(0, 05, 'PABX: 92(42)3586 9504 Fax: 92(42)3583 0425 E-mail: pacra#pacra.com'
, 0, false, 'C', 0, '', 0, false, 'T', 'M');
}
}
// create new PDF document
$pdf = new MYPDF(PDF_PAGE_ORIENTATION, PDF_UNIT, PDF_PAGE_FORMAT, true, 'UTF-8', false);
$pdf->SetAutoPageBreak(TRUE, PDF_MARGIN_BOTTOM);
$pdf->AddPage();
$host="localhost"; // Host name
$username="root"; // Mysql username
$password=""; // Mysql password
$db_name="test123"; // Database name
$tbl_name="form"; // Table name
$con = mysqli_connect('localhost','root','');
mysqli_select_db($con,"test123");
$sql="SELECT * FROM form WHERE Id=34";
$result = mysqli_query($con,$sql);
while($rows= (mysqli_fetch_array($result,MYSQLI_ASSOC)))
{
$name = $rows['Name'];
$address = $rows['Address'];
$class = $rows['Designation'];
$phone = $rows['Text'];
$pdf->SetXY(10,32);
$pdf->SetFontSize(12);
$pdf->SetTextColor(0,63,127);
$pdf->writeHTML($name, true, false, true, false, '');
$pdf->SetTextColor(0,0,0);
$pdf->SetXY(180,32);
$pdf->writeHTML($address, true, false, true, false, '');
$pdf->SetXY(10,36);
$pdf->SetTextColor(0,0,0);
$pdf->writeHTML($class, true, false, true, false, '');
$pdf->SetXY(10,45);
$pdf->writeHTML($phone, true, false, true, false, '');
}
$html= '<h6>This is test paragraph</h6>
<br>
<h6>This is another test paragraph</h6>
';
$pdf->writeHTML($html, true, false, true, false, '');
$pdf->Output('test.pdf','I');
?>
Although it works with I, it works for O as well.
Try
$pdf->Output('name.pdf', 'O');
If the above does not work, it is just better to use the php header() function.
header("Content-type: application/pdf");
After using the header() function, just echo the content of the PDF file you created.
This is what I found out in the documentation.
I: send the file inline to the browser (default). 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 server file with the name given by name.
S: return the document as a string (name is ignored).
FI: equivalent to F + I option
FD: equivalent to F + D option
E: return the document as base64 mime multi-part email attachment (RFC 2045)
I am trying to center the footer text
function Footer(){
$txt = 'Page %s of %s';
if (empty($this->pagegroups)) {
$txt = sprintf($txt, $this->getAliasNumPage(), $this->getAliasNbPages());
} else {
$txt = sprintf($txt, $this->getPageNumGroupAlias(), $this->getPageGroupAlias());
}
$this->MultiCell(0, 0, $txt, 1, 'C', false, 1, PDF_MARGIN_LEFT, $this->y);
}
As you can see in the image the cell is getting positioned correctly, the problem is with centering the text.
I get the same result if I change the MultiCell to something more straight forward:
$this->SetXY(PDF_MARGIN_LEFT, $this->y);
$this->Cell(0, 0, $txt, 1, 1, 'C');
Somehow getAliasNumPage() and getPageNumGroupAlias() add a bunch of whitespace to the right. I am unsure why. But I know that using PageNo() and getGroupPageNo() instead will fix it.
This is the code that worked for me:
public function Footer() {
$this->SetY(-15); //not present in your code but was necessary for me to have the footer be positioned correctly
$txt = 'Page %s of %s';
if (empty($this->pagegroups)) {
$txt = sprintf($txt, $this->PageNo(), $this->getAliasNbPages());
} else {
$txt = sprintf($txt, $this->getGroupPageNo(), $this->getPageGroupAlias());
}
$this->MultiCell(0, 0, $txt, 1, 'C', false, 1);
}
}
I have ExtJS application that is querying database and showing the results in grid which is working properly.
Users can select any record from the grid by checkbox then send to server to print out. The server side code generate PDF file ( by TCPDF ) and return result the browser, it also works properly.
My problem is, client side doesn't show PDF file in browser window, instead of view just showing binary form of the PDF page.
So, could you please help me, how can I handle returning PDF file to show client screen?

When you return the the PDF to the client, send it with the correct content type. Add this header before sending back the response
header('Content-Type: application/pdf');
Then the client can properly decide, what to do with the document.
I tried above suggestions but no success so that I did alternate way as belows :
First of all, some browsers doesn't support response object like PDF, therefore, I did postback to PDF file url then handle with an iframe inside the Ext window object.
success: function(response)
{
var _url = response.responseText;
new Ext.Window({
title: 'Labels',
id: 'pdfWindow',
layout: 'fit',
width: 600,
height: 500,
closeAction: 'destroy', // take notice that 'hide' action doesn't work
items: [{
xtype: 'component',
autoEl: {
tag: 'iframe', // we need iframes 'src' parameter to handle PDF
style: 'height:100%; width:100%; border:none',
// here we used special style to get rid of iframe title
src: _url
}
}]
}).show();
},
SERVER SIDE
// we need an unique ID to be able set unique file name
$uniqeid = uniqid(); # if you want add true parameter to extend sensibility
$filename = '/var/www/label/print/'.$uniqeid.'.pdf';
# F parameter creating the file in specified directory, don't forget to set security 777 for folder ortherwise you might take an error
$pdf->Output($filename, 'F');
echo('/print/'.$uniqeid.'.pdf');
Add target _blank to the printing button. Your browser will open it in a new window with PDF content generated by server.
Add content header as others advise:
header('Content-Type: application/pdf');

Here is the issue... the footer prints fine on every page except for the last page. The last page never has a footer. If there is only one page in the document the footer will not print at all.
OK I couldn't figure it out, but i was able to copy a co-workers example that worked. If anyone wants the source code here it is:

Comparing this new code to my old reveals no insight into why this works... in fact the example in the TCPDF examples folder exhibits the same issue, however if you run it from their website the footer is displayed correctly. Well anyway hope this helps someone
I know nothing about TCPDF save what I just learned going through their docs.
It looks like Footer() is only called for you when you explicitly call AddPage(), at which point it is added to the PREVIOUS PAGE. The rest of the time I believe you have to call it yourself.
There's also this whole StartPage()/EndPage() thing that sounds like an alternative to AddPage().
You might want to: "start page, header, draw text, footer, end page" instead. It looks like Write() calls AddPage() for you, which is why the headers and footers on all-but-the-last-page are present.
Bottom Line: Just call Footer() after you call Write() in this example. Real world examples will almost certainly be a bit more complex.
