Php output to pdf format

There are a lot more functions in FPDF and we cannot cover all those in this article. The HTML page contains a table that lists a few nations with their corresponding national flags. Below is the code for the conversion. First, we need to include the html2fpdf. Then a new page is added to the pdf document using the function AddPage. The HTML contents are read from the sample. To view the HTML file, click here and to view the generated pdf, click here.

The above sample code with the sample HTML file and images and the html2fpdf class libraries can be downloaded here. Also, the class does not support all the features available with HTML. The key word here is free.

You are free to download and use this class or customise it to fit your needs. In addition to being free, it's also simpler to use than PDFlib. Because we want to use the same font throughout the whole document, we can set it before we create a page. The SetFont function takes three parameters; the font family, style and size.

We are using Helvetica, Bold and 20 points, which will be applied to the title of our document. You can either use one of the regular font families or set up a different one using the AddFont function. With SetTextColor we are also setting the font colour for the entire document. The colours can be represented as RGB or grey scale. Here we are using RGB values. You can pass the AddPage a parameter of "P" or "L" to specify the page orientation.

I've used "P" for portrait. Example 1. Show file. File: DefaultPdfPoExport. Example 2. File: WfcProduceSingle. Example 3. Example 4. File: MemberStickerPage. Example 5. File: PdfCreator. Example 6. File: relatorioEtiquetas. Example 7. File: matrix. Example 8. File: StatementsPluginPostCards. Example 9. File: transaksi. Example File: contacts. File: includes. File: SReportController. The process of displaying pdf involves location of the PDF file on the server and it uses various types of headers to define content composition in form of type, Disposition, Transfer-Encoding etc.
