This library offers an easy-to-use API for PDF generation and merging.
Internally it uses the DomPDF library for PDF generation and TCPDF for merging.
Usage
Create PDF document from HTML contents
// Create a new pdf instance. $pdf = Vianetz\Pdf\Model\PdfFactory::general()->create(); // Create the document. You can return any kind of HTML content here. $document = new \Vianetz\Pdf\Model\Document(); $document->setHtmlContents('<strong>Hello</strong> World!'); // Add our document to the pdf. You can add as many documents as you like // as they will all be merged into one PDF file. $pdf->addDocument($document); // Save the resulting PDF to file test.pdf - That's it :-) $pdf->saveToFile('test.pdf');
Merge a PDF file and a PDF string into one PDF file
// Load some random PDF contents $pdfString = file_get_contents('test1.pdf'); // Setup things $pdf = Vianetz\Pdf\Model\PdfFactory::general()->create(); $pdfMerge = Vianetz\Pdf\Model\PdfMerge::create(); // Do the merge. $pdfMerge->mergePdfString($pdfString); $pdfMerge->mergePdfFile('test2.pdf'); // Save the result PDF to file result.pdf. $pdfMerge->saveToFile('result.pdf');
