README

A PHP wrapper class for callas pdfChip.

Installation

This library is installed via Composer. To install, use composer require pointybeard/pdfchip or add "pointybeard/pdfchip": "^1.0" to your composer.json file.

And run composer to update your dependencies:

$ curl -s http://getcomposer.org/installer | php
$ php composer.phar update

Using the Mock Executable

If the system you are running code on does not have pdfChip installed or it cannot be activiated, use the mock command bin/pdfchip instead. It emulates --help, --status, and processing input html.

To do this, make bin/pdfchip executable and place it in your system path (e.g. symlinking to /usr/local/bin).

Now, the pdfchip library will call this mock executable instead. Note you will always get the same pdf output regardless of input.

Requirements

This library requires pdfChip and PHP 7.4 or later.

Usage

Here is a basic usage example:

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

include "vendor/autoload.php";

use pointybeard\PdfChip;

// Print version information
print PdfChip\PdfChip::version() . PHP_EOL;

// Generate a PDF from input files
PdfChip\PdfChip::process(
    ["test.html", "test2.html"],
    "test.pdf",
    [
        "maxpages" => 1,
        "zoom-factor" => 3,
        "remote-content" => "off",
        "licensetype" => "all",
        "use-system-proxy",
        "underlay" => ["file.pdf", "file2.pdf"]
    ],
    $o,
    $e
);

var_dump($o, $e);

See pdfChip --help on the command line to see help information for each of the options it supports.
