Has anybody does this? I want to make full dynamic documents for printing and saving that can be any number of pages.

John

you can but you need to have the PDF modules of PHP installed first http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.pdf.php

Thanks Buddy. I'm checking that out now. have you done work this these functions? are they quick? any problems?

I'm assuming that all computers must have adobe on it..

John

Not all, but I would think the majority of web enabled ones. Always include the link to Acrobat download to be safe though.

I've never needed to use them yet. Webmonkey tend to have quite good tutorials.

This seems to work with little effort

I went and set this up I tried the following code to see how it works

<?php
include ('class.ezpdf.php');
$pdf =& new Cezpdf();
$pdf->selectFont('./fonts/Helvetica.afm');
$pdf->ezText('Mary is Beautiful!',50);
$pdf->ezStream();
?>


I get TONS of errors ie.

SO I don't know where to go with this?? You probably know more than I do about this.

PHP Version 4.2.1
Windows 2000 Service Pack 3
MySQL 3.23.39
Apache 1.3.20

John

Looks like at 810 in the code is where it starts setting margins.

$pdf -> ezSetMargins(30,30,30,30);

May get rid of it I am not sure.

I use the regular class.pdf.php.

I am not using the beta on his site .9 I am using .8

I am using http://telia.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/pdf-php/pdfClassesAndFonts_008.zip

I got it work. It only works on the linux server not the windows server. Do you have any exprience with windows??

john

I used the class.pdf.php on a windows 2000 box today.


More experience with winders than I care for.

Would you know the headers I would have to include in order for it to work?? can you give me a sample code.. The windows is only for testing and up load to a linux box....

Thanks for your help

John

I've been using FPDF with great results (PDF reports generated by database query results):
