I am trying to generate PDF using TCPDF with Hindi Unicode characters. I tried Mangal, Noto Sans, Arial Unicode fonts but all give the same output. If there is a "Matra" or "Half character" then it does not display properly.
See this output:
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set("display_errors", "On");
require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';
$hindi_str = "राष्ट्रपति प्रणव मुखर्जी। ";
$hindi_str2 = "देश हमें देता है सब कुछ";
// create new PDF document
$pdf = new TCPDF(PDF_PAGE_ORIENTATION, PDF_UNIT, PDF_PAGE_FORMAT, true, 'UTF-8', false);
//$fontname_kannada = TCPDF_FONTS::addTTFfont('NotoSansKannada-Regular.ttf', 'TrueTypeUnicode', '', 96);
$fontname_hindi1 = TCPDF_FONTS::addTTFfont('NotoSansDevanagari-Regular.ttf', 'TrueTypeUnicode', '', 96);
$fontname_hindi2 = TCPDF_FONTS::addTTFfont('mangal.ttf', 'TrueTypeUnicode', '', 96);
$fontname_hindi3 = TCPDF_FONTS::addTTFfont("ARIALUNI.TTF", 'TrueTypeUnicode', '', 96);
// use the font
$pdf->AddPage();
$pdf->SetFont($fontname_hindi3, '', 14, '', false);
$pdf->writeHTML("<h1>Hindi $hindi_str $hindi_str2</h1>",true, false, true, false, '');
$pdf->Ln();
$pdf->writeHTML("<h1>Kannada ಖುತುಬ್ ಮಿನಾರ್ ಸಮೀಪವಿರುವ ಪ್ರಸಿದ್ಧ ಕಬ್ಬಿಣದ ಕಂಬ ಯಾರಿಗೆ ಸೇರಿದೆ</h1>",true, false, true, false, '');
// output the HTML content
// ---------------------------------------------------------
//Close and output PDF document
$pdf->Output('example.pdf', 'I');
Please help.
I know it's a little late, but I had the same problem for nepali (which also uses devanagari). I solved it like this:
// SOME FONTS DOES NOT SUPPORT DEVANAGARI, BUT FREESANS DOES
$pdf->SetFont('freesans', '', 10);
// MAKE ARRAY WITH UTF LANGUAGE IDENTIFIER
$lg = Array();
$lg['a_meta_charset'] = 'UTF-8';
$lg['a_meta_dir'] = 'ltr';
$lg['a_meta_language'] = 'np'; // I think you can change this to HI or IN for hindi
$lg['w_page'] = 'page';
// CHANGE SETTINGS IN TCPDF
$pdf->setLanguageArray($lg);
// MAKE SURE TO USE WriteHTML() function
$pdf->WriteHTML($yourhtml, true, 0, true, 0);
You can use this if Hindi is not showing on TCPDF
$pdf->SetFont('freesans', '', 10);
$lang = Array();
$lang['a_meta_charset'] = 'UTF-8';
$lang['a_meta_dir'] = 'ltr';
$lang['a_meta_language'] = 'IN';
$lang['w_page'] = 'page';
$pdf->setLanguageArray($lang);
$pdf->WriteHTML($html, true, 0, true, 0);

Current Issue:
When i click on "Print PDF" it only show "1" PDF.
What I Have Done:
I have set array on the URI , which means that it able to loop 2 times
using foreach , but problem now is that the PDF is currently showing
"1" time only
What I Need :
Allow TCPDF generate 2 pdf
Create this thread is whated to know the idea, i will try to solve it myself
Code
<?php
foreach($invoice as $row){
$body='HTML
XXXXXXX
Table';
$pdf = new Pdf('P', 'mm', 'A4', true, 'UTF-8', false);
$pdf->SetTitle('Invoice');
$pdf->SetHeaderMargin(10);
$pdf->SetTopMargin(10);
$pdf->setFooterMargin(10);
$pdf->SetAutoPageBreak(true);
$pdf->SetAuthor('Invoice');
$pdf->SetDisplayMode('real', 'default');
$pdf->setPrintHeader(false);
$pdf->setPrintFooter(false);
$pdf->AddPage();
$pdf->writeHTML($body, true, false, true, false, '');
$pdf->lastPage();
//$pdf->Write(5, $tnc);
$pdf->Output('InvoceOutput'.'\.pdf', 'I' );
}
?>
You're creating and outputting your PDF inside your for loop, so 2 separate PDFs that are 1 page long are being generated. The 2nd PDF is likely overwriting the 1st PDF, leaving you with a single PDF 1 page long.
Configuring and outputting your PDF outside of the for loop should fix your issue:
<?php
$pdf = new Pdf('P', 'mm', 'A4', true, 'UTF-8', false);
$pdf->SetTitle('Invoice');
$pdf->SetHeaderMargin(10);
$pdf->SetTopMargin(10);
$pdf->setFooterMargin(10);
$pdf->SetAutoPageBreak(true);
$pdf->SetAuthor('Invoice');
$pdf->SetDisplayMode('real', 'default');
$pdf->setPrintHeader(false);
$pdf->setPrintFooter(false);
foreach($invoice as $row){
$body='HTML
XXXXXXX
Table';
$pdf->AddPage();
$pdf->writeHTML($body, true, false, true, false, '');
$pdf->lastPage();
//$pdf->Write(5, $tnc);
}
$pdf->Output('InvoceOutput'.'\.pdf', 'I' );
?>
I am facing problem to generate japanese text based pdf using TCPDF. Previously I was working in raw php, html and css and tcpdf was working just fine with the following code:
$pdf = new TCPDF(PDF_PAGE_ORIENTATION, PDF_UNIT, PDF_PAGE_FORMAT, true, 'UTF-8', false);
$pdf->SetAutoPageBreak(TRUE, PDF_MARGIN_BOTTOM);
// set image scale factor
$pdf->setImageScale(PDF_IMAGE_SCALE_RATIO);
if (#file_exists(APPPATH . 'libraries/tcpdf/examples/lang/eng.php')) {
require_once(APPPATH . 'libraries/tcpdf/examples/lang/eng.php');
$pdf->setLanguageArray($l);
}
if (#file_exists(APPPATH . 'libraries/tcpdf/examples/lang/jpn.php')) {
require_once(APPPATH . 'libraries/tcpdf/examples/lang/jpn.php');
$pdf->setLanguageArray($l);
}
$pdf->setLanguageArray($l);
$pdf->setPrintHeader(false);
$pdf->setFontSubsetting(true);
$pdf->SetFont('cid0jp', '', 11);
$pdf->AddPage();
$pdf->writeHTML($html, true, false, true, false, '');
$pdf->Output('result.pdf', 'I');
which can generate my desired pdf with japanese text.
氏名
(全角・名字と名前の間に字スペー
ス)
Name
(Last Name/First name)
But when I tried to include this in codeigniter controller, the japanese texts are showing question marks in the generated pdf:
require_once(APPPATH . 'libraries/tcpdf/tcpdf.php');
The pdf output becomes like the following:
??
(?????????????????)
Name
(Last Name/First name)
What I am missing? Can anybody give me a solution? I will greatly appreciate a help here.
You can try any one from listed (because I'm not sure which one works for you):-
1) $pdf->SetFont('kozgopromedium', '', 11);
2) $pdf->SetFont('kozminproregular', '', 11);
3) $pdf->SetFont('cid0jp', '', 11);
4) $pdf->SetFont('arialunicid0', '', 11);
5) $pdf->SetFont('arialuni', '', 12);
If you have font file(.ttf) in your system, then you can give path also like :-
$pdf->addTTFfont('path/myfont.ttf', '', '', 11);
I am working in codeigniter.I have downloaded TCPDF for creating pdf. I have followed all step for generating pdf in codeigniter.
My controller is:
function list_branch_report()
{
if($this->input->post('submit'))
{
$this->load->library('Pdf');
$pdf = new Pdf('P', 'mm', 'A4', true, 'UTF-8', false);
$pdf->SetTitle('Pdf Example');
$pdf->SetHeaderMargin(30);
$pdf->SetTopMargin(20);
$pdf->setFooterMargin(20);
$pdf->SetAutoPageBreak(true);
$pdf->SetAuthor('Author');
$pdf->SetDisplayMode('real', 'default');
$pdf->Write(5, 'CodeIgniter TCPDF Integration');
$pdf->AddPage();
$pdf->Output('pdfexample.pdf', 'I');
$branch_id = $this->input->post('br_name');
$branch_code = $this->input->post('branch_code');
$query1 = $this->db->query("select * from branch_bal where branch_id = '$branch_id'");
$result1 = $query1->result();
$query2 = $this->db->query("select * from cash_depo where bid = '$branch_id'");
$result2 = $query2->result();
$this->load->view("admin/list_branch_report",array('br_result'=>$result1,'cash_result'=>$result2,'b_code'=>$branch_code));
}
And my view page is:
<div style="float:left;width:100%">
<center><h1> Branch Report </h1></center>
</div>
When I try to generate pdf then it will display blank.
where are you writing HTML to PDF I haven't work on tcpdf but as my experience with mpdf as far as i know
there should a function like
$pdf->writeHTMLCell(0, 0, '', '', $html, 0, 1, 0, true, '', true);
please refer tcpdf documentation for writeHTML() or writeHTMLCell() functions
http://www.tcpdf.org/doc/code/classTCPDF.html
or refer examples
http://www.tcpdf.org/examples.php
you have to assign codeigniter view to variable for that give last attribute as true
$html= $this->load->view("admin/list_branch_report",array('br_result'=>$result1,'cash_result'=>$result2,'b_code'=>$branch_code),true);
and then assign this to
$pdf->writeHTMLCell(0, 0, '', '', $html, 0, 1, 0, true, '', true);
I have written ob_start(); before the load view page.Then i have written
$html = $this->load->view("admin/list_branch_report",array('br_result'=>$result1,'cash_result'=>$result2,'b_code'=>$branch_code),true);
$pdf->writeHTML($html, true, false, true, false, '');
ob_clean();
$pdf->Output();
this code.
So it works perfect.
Thanks to all.
use mpdf instead of tpdf and send html that you want to convert in pdf.
Hello my task is to certify pdf with digital Signature Certification and release it in pdf/a format. I tried using tcpdf, but i couldn't import existing pages. So I added fpdi, kind of mixing them:
require_once('./tcpdf/tcpdf.php');
require_once('./tcpdf/fpdi.php');
$pdf = new FPDI( );
//$pdf = new TCPDF(PDF_PAGE_ORIENTATION, PDF_UNIT, PDF_PAGE_FORMAT, true, 'UTF-8', false, true);
$file = realpath("484.pdf");
$pagecount = $pdf->setSourceFile($file);
for($i = 1 ; $i <= $pagecount ; $i++){
$tpl = $pdf->importPage($i);
$size = $pdf->getTemplateSize($tpl);
$orientation = $size['h'] > $size['w'] ? 'P':'L';
$pdf->AddPage($orientation);
$pdf->useTemplate($tpl, null, null, $size['w'], $size['h'], true);
}
$pdf->SetCreator("Creator");
$pdf->SetTitle('123Titel');
$pdf->SetDefaultMonospacedFont(PDF_FONT_MONOSPACED);
$certificate = 'file://123.crt';
$info = array(
'Name' => '123test',
'Location' => 'place',
'Reason' => '123',
'ContactInfo' => '123',
);
$pdf->setSignature($certificate, $certificate, '123', '', 2, $info);
$pdf->SetFont('helvetica', '', 12);
$pdf->addEmptySignatureAppearance(0, 0, 0, 0);
$pdf->Output('test.pdf', 'F');
Alright, so I can put signature in alright with this, but i cant make it pdf/a.
What decides pdf/a format is
$pdf = new TCPDF(PDF_PAGE_ORIENTATION, PDF_UNIT, PDF_PAGE_FORMAT, true, 'UTF-8', false, true);
The last "true". But I cant use this tcpdf function, or i get:
Call to undefined method TCPDF::setSourceFile() in...
So im forced to use $pdf = new FPDI( );, which can't save pdf in pdf/a format
Surely someone knows something that im missing and im running out of ideas on what to do.
-Can I import existing pdf with only tcpdf and if yes HOW?
-Is there any other way to make file format pdf/a (i coudlnt find any)
-Any tips whatsoever
It appears that I can extend tcpdf with fpdi. Somehow it didnt work until i changed fpdi_bridge to always extend tcpdf and changed
new FPDI();
to
new FPDI(PDF_PAGE_ORIENTATION, PDF_UNIT, PDF_PAGE_FORMAT, true, 'UTF-8', false, true);
Pls have a look at the following picture http://dev.mosaicware.pl/tmp/PDF-utf-problem.png
As you can se PL and RO characters are looking weird, they look fine on the webpage. Any clue?
I've used arialunicid0 font and following code (characters in DB are UTF-8):
$pdf = new models_PdfUtf(PDF_PAGE_ORIENTATION, PDF_UNIT, PDF_PAGE_FORMAT, true, 'UTF-8', true);
$pdf->SetFont('arialunicid0'); $pdf->SetHeaderData(PDF_HEADER_LOGO, PDF_HEADER_LOGO_WIDTH, PDF_HEADER_TITLE, PDF_HEADER_STRING);
$pdf->SetAuthor($problem . ' ' . $problem['user_surname']); $pdf->SetTitle($problem['problem_title']);
$pdf->SetSubject($problem['problem_title']);
$pdf->Output('export.pdf','I');
$pdf = new models_PdfUtf(PDF_PAGE_ORIENTATION, PDF_UNIT, PDF_PAGE_FORMAT, true, 'UTF-8', true);
$pdf->SetFont('arialunicid0');
$pdf->SetHeaderData(PDF_HEADER_LOGO, PDF_HEADER_LOGO_WIDTH, PDF_HEADER_TITLE, PDF_HEADER_STRING);
$pdf->setPrintFooter(false);
$pdf->SetAutoPageBreak(TRUE, PDF_MARGIN_BOTTOM);
$pdf->AddPage();
$pdf->writeHTML($c, true, 0, true, 0);
$pdf->SetAuthor($problem . ' ' . $problem['user_surname']);
$pdf->SetTitle($problem['problem_title']);
$pdf->SetSubject($problem['problem_title']);
$pdf->Output('export.pdf','I');
Unfortunately, the picture is now password protected, but from your description I'd guess that there is something in the HTML. I encountered a behavior as described by cou with links. Could you check if $c contains any links at all?
