Question

I need to add into pdf file one page after already existing first page and into this added page write text. I read somewhere, that Zend framework can do it, but I have no idea how.

Thanks in advance for answer

Answer 1

First you need to create a pdf object and assign it to a variable:

$pdf = pdf_new();

Then you need to read your pdf file into the object:

pdf_open_file($pdf, "path/to/your/pdf/file.pdf");

Now, you add a (A4) page to the pdf object:

pdf_begin_page($pdf, 595, 842);

Then, before you can write text to the page, you need to grab a font:

$arial = pdf_findfont($pdf, "Arial", "host", 1);

And state that you will be using this font:

pdf_setfont($pdf, $arial, 10);

Now you can write text to the page with:

pdf_show_xy($pdf, "Text to write to the page.", 50, 750);

We’re done with the page, so close it with:

pdf_end_page($pdf);

Finally, close and save the file:

pdf_close($pdf);
