COnvert to PDF with PHP

Hey

I did want to convert to a Word Doc, but i can't find out how, so PDF would have to do.

I found a code, and inserted by code in it, but i got an errror.
So i tried copying the code to the T, and the same error

Here is the script

$pdf = PDF_new();
PDF_open_file($pdf);

PDF_set_info($pdf, "author", "Jamie Teuma");
PDF_set_info($pdf, "title", "Word Docs");
PDF_set_info($pdf, "creator", "JAMIE");
PDF_set_info($pdf, "subject", "Word Docs");

PDF_begin_page($pdf, 450, 450);

$font = PDF_findpoint($pdf, "Helvetica-bold", "winasi", 0);

PDF_show_xy($PDF, "Hello, Dynamic PDFs!", 5, 255);

PDF_end_page($pdf);

PDF_close($pdf);

$buffer = PDF_get_buffer($pdf);

header("Content-type: application/pdf");
header("Content-Length: ".strlen($buffer));
header("Content-Disposition: inline; filename=text.pdf");

echo $buffer;

PDF_delete($pdf);

PHP:

The error is Fatal error: Call to undefined function: pdf_new() in /home/onlyican/public_html/mri/test/test8.php on line 11

Line 11 is $pdf = PDF_new();

 

The pdflib extension probably wasn't compiled into PHP on your server. If you run phpinfo() you can look to see if pdflib is there.

 

No, so how do I get this to work then

 

If you are on your own server then you will need to recompile PHP with pdflib. If you are on a shared server then you have three options:

1) Ask your host to install it on your server.
2) Ask your host to move you to a server that has pdflib compiled within PHP.
3) Move to a different host that has pdflib compiled with PHP.

 

$pdf = PDF_new(); <--- when you do so, you need to have a class for that object, which apparently you don't.
try using free available pdf classes such as ezpdf.

 

Sorry, I should have mentioned this. Been to busy.

I have used FPDF
http://www.fpdf.org

 

I use http://www.fpdf.org/

 

Does fpdf handle tables properly?

Can we put the table directly into a PDF or do we have to draw it ourselves using findpoint, etc?

 

Bump much?

 

Have a look at this one. It converts most office files from PHP. http://blog.muhimbi.com/2013/02/converting-files-to-pdf-and-other.html

 

If he hasn't solved the problem in over 7 years, I doubt he cares now.

 

You can use jQuery Javascript library. My recommendation is DataTables jQuery . DataTables jQuery can export to Excel, PDF and CSS as well as send the print to the printer. It is very easy to use and can be customized.


/*
* Example initialisation

$(document).ready( function () {
$('#example').dataTable( {
"sDom": 'T<"clear">lfrtip',
"oTableTools": {
"sSwfPath": "/swf/copy_csv_xls_pdf.swf"
}
} );
} );
