I need some help with fPDF. I want to set up my custom page size (exactly: width 3 inch, and height 5 or 6 inch).
it will create number of pages again height parameter .
i set the size array(3,5). it will create 5 page. I
found fPDF() manual (http://www.fpdf.org/) but there are only ready formats like A4, B5 etc. I have to set up my own page format.
<?php
require_once('fpdf/fpdf.php');
//$fromat = array(3,5);
$pdf = new FPDF('p','in', [4.1,2.9]);
$pdf->SetTopMargin(50);
$pdf->Addpage();
$pdf->SetTitle("invoice");
$pdf->SetCreator("maqbool solutons");
$pdf->SetAuthor("my name");
$pdf->SetSubject("report");
$pdf->SetFont('Arial', 'B', '16');
$pdf->SetTextColor(155,14,9);// rgb
$pdf->SetDrawColor(155,14,9);
$pdf->SetfillColor(15,140,95);
$pdf->Cell(60,10, 'hello word');
$pdf->Cell(60,10,'powered by fpdf', 1, 0,'c',true);
$pdf->Cell(60,10,'powered by fpdf', 1, 2,'c');
$pdf->Cell(60,10,'powered by fpdf', 1, 1,'c');
$pdf->Image("images/coat.jpg", 10,20,10,35);
$pdf->MultiCell(94,10,"skldjfsldfsfjsdkfsjdlfjsdflkjsdflksjflksjdflskjfslkjfdslkfdjslkfdjslkfjslkfjslkfjsflkjsflkjsflksjflksjfslkjfslkjslkf",1,"L",false);
$pdf->Output("I", "invice.pdf");
?>[that is my file size][1]
when i add array of size
You should should define it in your constructor like so:
$pdf = new FPDF('P','in',[3,6]);
You can find more info in tutorial #1 and in the manual > AddPage
As said in the documentation, when you call the constructor or AddPage, you can either give a String or an Array containing the width and height:
// AddPage([string orientation [, mixed size [, int rotation]]])
$pdf->AddPage("P", [3, 5]); // assuming you are using 'in' as unit
Or directly using the constructor:
// __construct([string orientation [, string unit [, mixed size]]])
$pdf = new FPDF('P','in',[3, 5]);
I think you can set the page size with the constructor.
I have not tested it but this should show you the way:
$format=array(3,5);
$pdf=new FPDF('P','in',$format);
$pdf->Open();

I have a function to generate pdf using Fpdf in laravel.
My problems are:
After all Cell I have some extra space. I need to remove that. Please find the image given below.
How can I download this pdf file in to my system. Currently it's just showing in to browser. Code samples are given below.
Code
Controller: Controller.php
public function index()
{
$orders = Order::select('firstname', 'lastname', 'street', 'postal', 'country')->get();
foreach ($orders as $order){
Fpdf::SetMargins(5, 5, 5);
Fpdf::AddPage('L', array(60,90), 'A4');
Fpdf::SetAutoPageBreak(TRUE, 0);
Fpdf::SetFont('helvetica', '', 7); //IF bold letter SetFont('Arial','B',14)
Fpdf::SetTextColor(0, 0, 0);
Fpdf::Cell(10,5,iconv('UTF-8', 'windows-1252', 'Falls unzustellbar, zurück an Absender'),0,"1","L");
Fpdf::SetFont('','U');
Fpdf::Cell(10,5,iconv('UTF-8', 'windows-1252', 'schrillALARM.jetzt c/o 365group • Grasgasse 2 • 93047 Regensburg'),0,"1","L");
Fpdf::SetFont('helvetica', '', 11);
Fpdf::Cell(10,5,$order->firstname,0,1,"L");
Fpdf::Cell(10,5,$order->lastname,0,1,"L");
Fpdf::Cell(10,5,$order->street,0,1,"L");
Fpdf::Cell(10,5,$order->postal,0,1,"L");
Fpdf::Cell(10,5,$order->country,0,1,"L");
}
Fpdf::Output();
exit;
}
Route: Route::get('/test', 'Controller#index');
No experience with FDPF, but you can download this way:
Route::get(
'download/pdf/{pdf}',
function ($pdf) {
$file = // Get file
return response()->download($file);
}
);
Or just from your controller with
return response()->download($pdf);
for saving, just specify output path and filename in your output call string
Fpdf::Output([string dest [, string name [, boolean isUTF8]]])
For your white space though, when you're constructing your PDF document, you can use a default size of one of the following: A3, A4, A5, Letter, Legal with A4 being default. However, you can also declare custom sizes. This is more than likely what you're looking for, as you'll want to play with the sizes to get it with the amount of white space you're looking for. FPDF puts out the canvas first then fills it, so you're white space is coming from a canvas that is too big. This can be done in the constructor, or AddPage as you have done.
VIA Constructor:
//(L)andscape or (P)ortrait, unit type (mm millimeters), array size in mm
$pdf = new FPDF('L','mm',array(100,150));
VIA AddPage (must likely what you're looking for):
currently you have:
Fpdf::AddPage('L', array(60,90), 'A4');
however, params are supposed to be landscape/portrait, Predefined or custom size array, then rotation. So try this:
Fpdf::AddPage('L', array(60,90));
Now you'll need to play with those numbers, more than likely the 90, and shorten that up to rid yourself of the white space.
I am creating a PDF with DOMPDF and laravel.
The pdf is being printed with a special printer that only accepts files with 10CM width and 20CM height.
I have tried this:
$customPaper = array(0,0,720,1440);
$pdf = PDF::loadView('pdf.retourlabel',compact('retour','barcode'))->setPaper($customPaper);
Since 11X17 is
"11x17" => array(0, 0, 792.00, 1224.00),
I figured 10X20 was 0,0720,1440
But it's not working.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance
How i fixed this:
change the custom paper.
Download the PDF open in Acrobat Reader move your mouse to the left corner now you can see the width and height of the document, and i changed the custom paper accordingly.
The end result was:
10CM X 20CM =
$customPaper = array(0,0,567.00,283.80);
$pdf = PDF::loadView('pdf.retourlabel', compact('retour','barcode'))->setPaper($customPaper, 'landscape');
Very circuitous work but i did get the Job done..
Thanks
Setting the paper size in PHP requires knowing the point (pt) measurement, points being the native PDF unit. The PDF resolution (with Dompdf) is 72pt/inch. So 10cm x 20cm is roughly equivalent to 283 X 566 (as you noted in your answer).
1 inch = 72 point
1 inch = 2.54 cm
10 cm = 10/2.54*72 = 283.464566929
20 cm = 10/2.54*72 = 566.929133858
landscape is mean opposite. So, we can set it like : array(0, 0, 566.929133858, 283.464566929 ) which same as the answer but in more precise value
You can, however, allow Dompdf to calculate the appropriate point size by specifying your page dimensions in CSS. This is available starting with Dompdf 0.6.2.
<html>
<head>
<style>
#page { size: 10cm 20cm landscape; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
...
</body>
</html>
Trivia: the PDF spec does not provide for a method of indicating paper orientation (though there is a method of indicating a rotation). Dompdf just flips the width/height when landscape orientation is specified.
I think the issue is with orientation, since the setPaper uses 'A4' orientation as default so this might be the reason that your code is not working.
/**
* Set the paper size (default A4)
*
* #param string $paper
* #param string $orientation
* #return $this
*/
public function setPaper($paper, $orientation = 'portrait'){
$this->paper = $paper;
$this->orientation = $orientation;
$this->dompdf->setPaper($paper, $orientation);
return $this;
}
Try using :
$customPaper = array(0,0,720,1440);
$pdf = PDF::loadView('pdf.retourlabel',compact('retour','barcode'))->setPaper($customPaper,'portrait');
Hope that helps or try other options too instead of portrait.
I am using TCPDF library to write a custom size label with background image and multiple text blocks on it.
The user when sees the preview on screen of the PDF it should show in horizontal, but for printing, I need the full page rotated -90 degrees.
How can I just rotate the whole page for printing version without having to move anything?
Basically:
In my case I've already had to use a new document format for the special sizes my document required.
So I've duplicated that format, created one for Landscape and one for Portrait.
Then based on the $preview variable, if previewing I'm rendering the normal landscape document, but if not previewing, I'm using the Portrait format and orientation and also starting the transformation and rotating everything on page.
Hope this helps someone I've found no other "quick" way to accomplish this kind of full-page rotation.
<?php
// #1 get the preview attribute from
// the form that was submitted from the user
$preview= isset($_POST['preview'])?(int)$_POST['preview']:0;
// load TCPDF for CodeIgniter as a library
$this->load->library('Pdf');
// #2 set default orientation and format
$orientation='L';
$format='MAKE-L';
// #3 if not previewing, switch orientation and format to portrait
if (!$preview) {
$orientation='P';
$format='MAKE-P';
}
// create new pdf object
// (same as doing new TCPDF(), it is just the CodeIgniter wrapper)
$pdf = new Pdf($orientation, 'mm', $format, true, 'UTF-8', false);
// remove default header/footer
$pdf->setPrintHeader(false);
$pdf->setPrintFooter(false);
$pdf->SetMargins(0, 0, 0);
$pdf->AddPage($orientation, $format);
// #4 if not previewing, start transformation
// and rotate everything before inserting any content
if (!$preview) {
// Start Transformation
$pdf->StartTransform();
// Rotate counter-clockwise centered by (x,y)
$pdf->Rotate(-90, 70, 70); // <-- TODO: test this very well because 70 and 70 was just guessing, there is no math behind that so not sure if it will work always
}
// put your content here,
// for example set font and add a text
$pdf->SetFont('times', '', 7, '', true);
$pdf->writeHTMLCell(0, 0, 25.4, 2, 'lot number', 0, 1, 0, true, '', true);
/// end content
// #5 if not in preview mode, finish the transformation
if (!$preview) {
// Stop Transformation
$pdf->StopTransform();
}
$pdf->Output('example.pdf', 'I');
/**
* Last but very important note:
* I have added my formats in tcpdf/includes/tcpdf_static.php file.
* >> MAKE-L for Landscape
* >> MAKE-P for Portrait
*/
public static $page_formats = array(
// Make
'MAKE-L' => array( 396.850, 425.196), // = ( h 140 x w 150 ) mm
// Make
'MAKE-P' => array( 425.196, 396.850 ), // = ( h 140 x w 150 ) mm
// .. rest of formats here ../
);
The setPageFormat() method should do the job. You also can pass the parameter to the $format parameter of AddPage():
$pdf->AddPage($orientation, ['format' => $format, 'Rotate' => -90]);
I want to know if there is a way to create a ppt file with pre defined width and height rather than default one.
I've used this code to set it for the new PHPPresentation (newer PHPPowerpoint version).
Hope it helps..(replace path's with your phppresentation path's
and width(1180) and height(768) to suit yours
/*Standard library loaders */
require_once 'include/Common/src/Common/Autoloader.php';
\PhpOffice\Common\Autoloader::register();
require_once 'include/PHPPowerPoint2/src/PhpPresentation/Autoloader.php';
\PhpOffice\PhpPresentation\Autoloader::register();
/*Standard library loaders */
use PhpOffice\PhpPresentation\PhpPresentation;
use PhpOffice\PhpPresentation\DocumentLayout;
$objPHPPowerPoint = new PhpPresentation();
$objPHPPowerPoint->getLayout()->setDocumentLayout(DocumentLayout::LAYOUT_CUSTOM, true)
->setCX( 1180, DocumentLayout::UNIT_PIXEL)
->setCY( 768, DocumentLayout::UNIT_PIXEL);
The answer of #user2633993 is still valid, though the code for setting the layout width and height has changed a bit, now you need to set an array containing the cx and cy keys, their values doesn't matter.
So the code needs to look something like this:
$objPHPPowerPoint->getLayout()->setDocumentLayout(['cx' => 1280, 'cy' => 700], true)
->setCX(1280, DocumentLayout::UNIT_PIXEL)
->setCY(700, DocumentLayout::UNIT_PIXEL);`
you can set width and height:
Please see this tutorial
$objPHPPowerPoint = new PHPPowerPoint();
$currentSlide = $objPHPPowerPoint->getActiveSlide();
$shape = $currentSlide->createDrawingShape();
$shape = $currentSlide->createRichTextShape();
$shape->setHeight(300);
$shape->setWidth(600);
$shape->setOffsetX(170);
$shape->setOffsetY(180);
$shape->getAlignment()->setHorizontal( PHPPowerPoint_Style_Alignment::HORIZONTAL_CENTER );
$textRun = $shape->createTextRun('Thank you for using PHPPowerPoint!');
$textRun->getFont()->setBold(true);
$textRun->getFont()->setSize(60);
$textRun->getFont()->setColor( new PHPPowerPoint_Style_Color( 'FFC00000' ) );
$objWriter = PHPPowerPoint_IOFactory::createWriter($objPHPPowerPoint, 'PowerPoint2007');
$objWriter->save(str_replace('.php', '.pptx', __FILE__));
I am looking to add drop shadow to text on an image using PHP.
I am aware on how to add text to images and how some libraries allow you to add block shadowing, but I cannot see any which allow you to add a faded drop shadow.
Is this possible?
What you want is Imagick::shadowImage ( float $opacity , float $sigma , int $x , int $y )
Here's an example where I put a drop shadow on some text and then superimpose that on a background image...
$background_layer = new Imagick('poster_pic_01.jpg'); # background image
$text_layer = new Imagick('transparent400.png'); # empty transparent png of the same size
$text_layer->annotateImage( $ImagickDraw, $pad_left, $pad_top, 0, "Your text here" );
/* create drop shadow on it's own layer */
$shadow_layer = $text_layer->clone();
$shadow_layer->setImageBackgroundColor( new ImagickPixel( 'black' ) );
$shadow_layer->shadowImage( 75, 5, 5, 5 );
/* composite original text_layer onto shadow_layer */
$shadow_layer->compositeImage( $text_layer, Imagick::COMPOSITE_OVER, 0, 0 );
/* composite shadow_layer (which now has text AND the shadow) onto image_layer */
$background_layer->compositeImage( $shadow_layer, Imagick::COMPOSITE_OVER, 0, 0 );
Hope this helps,
Roger
GD can't do this out of the box. If you can, use ImageMagick. Examples on how to do shaped shadows here.
