How do i use Codeigniter or any existing library to generate pdf files using a blank pdf file - El Forum - 04-11-2011

I have fixed the load library problem and I had to bump up the memory limit in the php.ini file, now I'm having other problems:

- Message: Use of undefined constant K_CELL_HEIGHT_RATIO - assumed 'K_CELL_HEIGHT_RATIO'

- Message: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/pauldj54/Desktop/pdftest/system/core/Exceptions.php:170)

I'll check your link and others forum post. Thanks for your time!

[quote author="outrage" date="1222336284"]Kinda goes something like this:

application
libraries
fpdf.php
fpdf_tpl.php
fpdi.php
fpdi_pdf_parser.php
pdf_context.php
pdf_parser.php
wrapper_functions.php

Controller

Code:
$this->load->library('fpdf');

define('FPDF_FONTPATH',$this->config->item('fonts_path'));

$this->load->library('fpdi');

// initiate FPDI   

$pdf =& new FPDI('P','mm','A4');

// add a page

$pdf->AddPage();

// set the sourcefile

$pdf->setSourceFile('resources/pdfs/your_pdf_template.pdf');

// import page 1

$tplIdx = $pdf->importPage(1);

// use the imported page and place it at point 10,10 with a width of 100 mm

$pdf->useTemplate($tplIdx, 1, 1, 210);

// now write some text above the imported page

$pdf->SetFont('Arial');

$pdf->SetTextColor(0,0,0);

// Write something

$pdf->SetXY(88, 31);

$pdf->Write(0, "Hello world");

// Output

$pdf->Output('resources/pdfs/archives/'. $pdf_name, 'F');

Don't forget the fonts folder:
Add this to config.php

Code:
$config['fonts_path']= "resources/font/";

Works great for me, hope this helps.[/quote]

Outrage - Though your post was made many years ago, that was the key to me figuring out how to use CodeIgniter along with FPDF and FPDI. Thanks a bunch !! I am now able to customize PDF documents with CI and FPDI.

Thanks.
