is there a way to add text with certain parameters over images in pdf?
can this text be for example
$pdf->Cell(0,260,''.$person["CA"],'C',0 ,1);
this: .$person["CA"] i called from a global in the top of the php file.. but would like to know if its possible too. ..??
any ideas???
There's no such built-in function in FPDF, but that doesn't mean you can't write your own routine to automate the process. Libraries like FPDF are designed to provide base functionality for you to extend.

I am using FPDF and FPDI to add current date to the existing PDF file
$pdf->Cell(0,15, date("Y/m/d"), 0, 0,'R' );
Is it possible to make it visible only when document is printed, something like Set Visibility Print Only?
(Sorry if duplicate, I'm new here)
You can use the script "Visibility" from the script section of FPDF for this purpose. Just change the class so that it extends FPDI:
class PDF_Visibility extends \setasign\Fpdi\Fpdi
{ ...
You should know that this does not work for all PDF readers/viewers. Viewers not supporting visibility will show the content throughout.
I want to create a pdf page from html file in Laravel but I do not know how to do it. You can help me

Write Above code in the controller file
In Blade file (HTML file) set array data.

I know I am a little bit late but hopefully this will help someone.
There are 2 ways:
Create HTML page and use jspdf to print this page. The best way is to use html2pdf: https://github.com/eKoopmans/html2pdf.js
You can use this one to convert html to canvas and print to pdf. All css will be kept but you have to change the page to fix the space between pages as there may be some bad cut at the end of each page.
Print the page using latex. You have to use laravel latex compiler: https://github.com/fvhockney/latexcompiler
It is a little bit harder to styling the page but there is no problem with paging.
This is the case:
I have a form where the user has to fill in 5 fields. I also have a PDF template with some layout with 5 empty colored boxes.
Now when the user fills in the form a PDF should be generated from the pdf template and the fields that the user has given in should be added to the template.
Now my question what's the best and easiest way to do this? I've look at the library laravel-dompdf but it didn't look like it's working with templates.
Did anybody had to do this? If yes, how did you do it? I'm working with laravel 5.0 .
I've used the packages fpdf and fpdi to work with pdf templates.
I use the "vsmoraes/laravel-pdf": "^1.0" package and it does well for us.
use Vsmoraes\Pdf\Pdf;
private $pdf;
public function __construct(Pdf $pdf)
{
$this->middleware('auth');
$this->pdf = $pdf;
}
public function pdfMaker($data)
{
$html = view('pdf.shippinglabel')->with('purchase', $purchase)->with('products', $products)->render();
$label = $this->pdf->load($html)->output();
file_put_contents(storage_path()."/ftp/po/label_".$id.".pdf",$label);
}
And then I have the formatted pdf with embedded CSS and not including external CSS file linking.
here's the github url: https://github.com/vsmoraes/pdf-laravel5
Dompdf doesn't work with pdf templates, but it works with HTML templates.
So, you can do this way:
Prepare a HTML template and place some placeholders( i.e: {field1}, {field2}, ecc ) where you want to print the values you'll get from the form
When the form is submitted, load the html template into a string, replace the placeholders in the string with the actual values you got from the form
Pass the string (that will contain valid html) to dompdf and it will generate a PDF file
With the Laravel package from Barry (https://github.com/barryvdh/laravel-dompdf) you can load views. So in that way it is possible to make a template using the Blade views.
I'm using FPDF to create an A4 sized PDF, I can add text/images and this is working fine. I have a dynamically generated string which contains some HTML tags (BR etc) and was wondering how I can have that output onto the PDF as opposed to literally printing the tags out.
$centre = urldecode($row_CertDetails['centre_name']);
$pdf->Text(10, 110, $centre);
I've seen on some forums people mentioning WriteHTML, however my version of FPDF doesn't seem to include that.
Is it an add-on?
Yes, it is an Add-On:
Write HTML
Author: Clément Lavoillotte
License: FPDF
This is an enhancement of the WriteHTML() method from tutorial 6. Supported tags are: ...
Please see Write HTML FPDF Script #42 which I think is the latest version, but feel free to browse the FPDF scripts/Add-Ons.
I've solved it anyway.
Because I'm also using FPDI, what I did was extract the contents of the class in http://www.fpdf.org/en/script/script42.php and put it inside the FPDI.php file.
What would be the simplest, shortest way to turn a text file into a PDF file with PHP? With some basic example code if possible.
I've seen this but the examples don't show how to use a text file as input.

TCPDF and FPDF can both render PDF output. If you're on a Linux system, you could also call the system's ghostscript to do it.
You'll definitely need a library to write PDFs. I'd say try FPDF.
TCPDF is the best way to convert text or HTML to PDF.

Throwing Zend_Pdf into the ring as well.
And a somewhat old tutorial to get you started in addition to the extensive docs in the ZF manual:
http://devzone.zend.com/article/2525
You can use MPDF.
I wrote a smalll instruction:
1) download Full version(http://www.mpdf1.com/mpdf/index.php?page=Download ) and extract inside anyfolder
2) create sample.php in anyfolder and insert like this:
<?php
include('./mpdf.php');
$mpdf=new mPDF();
$mpdf->WriteHTML('<div style="color:yellow;">SAMPLE TEXT, WITH HTML TAGS Too!</div>');
$mpdf->Output(); die('');
?>
3) then open sample.php in your browser to see the result!
