Interesting tutorial! Do you know if it is possible to convert the PDF File into content management system. This is the thing I would like to know about it, Let's say, I have a PDF file on my local drive, and I want to convert that file into my database, or using CMS editor to do so, and this file will automatically will be added to my database, by parts, chapters and so on.

How about creating a PDF from whatever program you would normally use, such as inDesign or Word and then updating text fields with data generated from a PDF query?  This seems like a streamline method that would allow a template to be created in more detail and then use PHP to populate various fields as a final product.

Any plans on doing a tutorial that covers these features?

 

Thanks

Parameter too shortHow To: Create PDF With Php

Hi

I got really excited when I saw the php file creating my first pdf. Really cool

The only thing is that when I got o the image backround section I got an error 

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'PDFlibException' with message'pdf_open_image_file() expects exactly 5 parameters, 3 given' inC:wamp_newwwwpdf_createnewpdf.Php:7Stack trace:#0 C:wamp_newwwwpdf_createnewpdf.Php(7):Pdf_open_image_file(Resource id #2, 'jpeg', 'matrix.Jpg')#1 {main} thrown in C:wamp_newwwwpdf_createnewpdf.Php on line 7

I've put my jpeg in the same folder as the php file and copied your code as is.

And another error Where you draw only the Triangles

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'PDFlibException' with message'pdf_setcolor() expects exactly 7 parameters, 6 given' inC:wamp_newwwwpdf_createnewpdf.Php:9Stack trace:#0 C:wamp_newwwwpdf_createnewpdf.Php(9): pdf_setcolor(Resource id#2, 'fill', 'rgb', 1, 1, 0)#1 {main} thrown in C:wamp_newwwwpdf_createnewpdf.Php on line 9

Maybe you can give me some advise so I can get this working. I'm using WAMP2 for PC

Thank you again,

As I said and still say I prefer to use TCPDF for creating PDF documents using PHP, but wanted to add, that Zend framework has quite a good class to use to create PDF documents rapidly using PHP, you can read more about it here:

Exactly as stated. This means that, in your environment, pdf_open_image_file needs five arguments, and you only provided three of them.
Now the funny game will be to find which are the missing ones, maybe you should provide empty arguments by means of a "".
