Methods summary

public
# __construct( $orientation = 'P', $unit = 'mm', $format = 'A4', $unicode = true, $encoding = 'UTF-8', $diskcache = false, $pdfa = false )

This is the class constructor. It allows to set up the page format, the orientation and the measure unit used in all the methods (except for the font sizes).

This is the class constructor. It allows to set up the page format, the orientation and the measure unit used in all the methods (except for the font sizes).

IMPORTANT: Please note that this method sets the mb_internal_encoding to ASCII, so if you are using the mbstring module functions with TCPDF you need to correctly set/unset the mb_internal_encoding when needed.

Parameters

$orientation

page orientation. Possible values are (case insensitive):

  • P or Portrait (default)
  • L or Landscape
  • '' (empty string) for automatic orientation
$unit

User measure unit. Possible values are:

  • pt: point
  • mm: millimeter (default)
  • cm: centimeter
  • in: inch


A point equals 1/72 of inch, that is to say about 0.35 mm (an inch being 2.54 cm). This is a very common unit in typography; font sizes are expressed in that unit.

$format
The format used for pages. It can be either: one of the string values specified at getPageSizeFromFormat() or an array of parameters specified at setPageFormat().
$unicode
TRUE means that the input text is unicode (default = true)
$encoding
Charset encoding (used only when converting back html entities); default is UTF-8.
$diskcache
DEPRECATED FEATURE
$pdfa
If TRUE set the document to PDF/A mode.

  • ['BoxColorInfo'][BOXTYPE]['D'] : dash array defining a pattern of dashes and gaps to be used in drawing dashed guidelines
  • ['trans'] : the style and duration of the visual transition to use when moving from another page to the given page during a presentation
  • ['trans']['Dur'] : The page's display duration (also called its advance timing): the maximum length of time, in seconds, that the page shall be displayed during presentations before the viewer application shall automatically advance to the next page.
  • ['trans']['S'] : transition style : Split, Blinds, Box, Wipe, Dissolve, Glitter, R, Fly, Push, Cover, Uncover, Fade
  • ['trans']['D'] : The duration of the transition effect, in seconds.
  • ['trans']['Dm'] : (Split and Blinds transition styles only) The dimension in which the specified transition effect shall occur: H = Horizontal, V = Vertical. Default value: H.
  • ['trans']['M'] : (Split, Box and Fly transition styles only) The direction of motion for the specified transition effect: I = Inward from the edges of the page, O = Outward from the center of the pageDefault value: I.
  • ['trans']['Di'] : (Wipe, Glitter, Fly, Cover, Uncover and Push transition styles only) The direction in which the specified transition effect shall moves, expressed in degrees counterclockwise starting from a left-to-right direction. If the value is a number, it shall be one of: 0 = Left to right, 90 = Bottom to top (Wipe only), 180 = Right to left (Wipe only), 270 = Top to bottom, 315 = Top-left to bottom-right (Glitter only).

# AddFont( $family, $style = '', $fontfile = '', $subset = 'default' )

Imports a TrueType, Type1, core, or CID0 font and makes it available. It is necessary to generate a font definition file first (read /fonts/utils/README.TXT). The definition file (and the font file itself when embedding) must be present either in the current directory or in the one indicated by K_PATH_FONTS if the constant is defined. If it could not be found, the error "Could not include font definition file" is generated.

If it could not be found, the error "Could not include font definition file" is generated.

Parameters

$family
Font family. The name can be chosen arbitrarily. If it is a standard family name, it will override the corresponding font.
$style

Font style. Possible values are (case insensitive):

  • empty string: regular (default)
  • B: bold
  • I: italic
  • BI or IB: bold italic
$fontfile
The font definition file. By default, the name is built from the family and style, in lower case with no spaces.
$subset
if true embedd only a subset of the font (stores only the information related to the used characters); if false embedd full font; if 'default' uses the default value set using setFontSubsetting(). This option is valid only for TrueTypeUnicode fonts. If you want to enable users to change the document, set this parameter to false. If you subset the font, the person who receives your PDF would need to have your same font in order to make changes to your PDF. The file size of the PDF would also be smaller because you are embedding only part of a font.

Returns

# SetFont( $family, $style = '', $size = null, $fontfile = '', $subset = 'default', $out = true )

Sets the font used to print character strings. The font can be either a standard one or a font added via the AddFont() method. Standard fonts use Windows encoding cp1252 (Western Europe). The method can be called before the first page is created and the font is retained from page to page. If you just wish to change the current font size, it is simpler to call SetFontSize(). Note: for the standard fonts, the font metric files must be accessible. There are three possibilities for this:

  • They are in the current directory (the one where the running script lies)
  • They are in one of the directories defined by the include_path parameter
  • They are in the directory defined by the K_PATH_FONTS constant

# SetProtection( $permissions = array('print', 'modify', 'copy', 'annot-forms', 'fill-forms', 'extract', 'assemble', 'print-high'), $user_pass = '', $owner_pass = null, $mode = 0, $pubkeys = null )

Set document protection Remark: the protection against modification is for people who have the full Acrobat product. If you don't set any password, the document will open as usual. If you set a user password, the PDF viewer will ask for it before displaying the document. The master password, if different from the user one, can be used to get full access. Note: protecting a document requires to encrypt it, which increases the processing time a lot. This can cause a PHP time-out in some cases, especially if the document contains images or fonts.

Parameters

$permissions

the set of permissions (specify the ones you want to block):

  • print : Print the document;
  • modify : Modify the contents of the document by operations other than those controlled by 'fill-forms', 'extract' and 'assemble';
  • copy : Copy or otherwise extract text and graphics from the document;
  • annot-forms : Add or modify text annotations, fill in interactive form fields, and, if 'modify' is also set, create or modify interactive form fields (including signature fields);
  • fill-forms : Fill in existing interactive form fields (including signature fields), even if 'annot-forms' is not specified;
  • extract : Extract text and graphics (in support of accessibility to users with disabilities or for other purposes);
  • assemble : Assemble the document (insert, rotate, or delete pages and create bookmarks or thumbnail images), even if 'modify' is not set;
  • print-high : Print the document to a representation from which a faithful digital copy of the PDF content could be generated. When this is not set, printing is limited to a low-level representation of the appearance, possibly of degraded quality.
  • owner : (inverted logic - only for public-key) when set permits change of encryption and enables all other permissions.
$user_pass
user password. Empty by default.
$owner_pass
owner password. If not specified, a random value is used.
$mode
encryption strength: 0 = RC4 40 bit; 1 = RC4 128 bit; 2 = AES 128 bit; 3 = AES 256 bit.
$pubkeys
array of recipients containing public-key certificates ('c') and permissions ('p'). For example: array(array('c' => 'file://../examples/data/cert/tcpdf.crt', 'p' => array('print')))

    Default value: none
  • PickTrayByPDFSize boolean (Optional; PDF 1.7) A flag specifying whether the PDF page size is used to select the input paper tray. This setting influences only the preset values used to populate the print dialog presented by a PDF viewer application. If PickTrayByPDFSize is true, the check box in the print dialog associated with input paper tray is checked. Note: This setting has no effect on Mac OS systems, which do not provide the ability to pick the input tray by size.
  • PrintPageRange array (Optional; PDF 1.7) The page numbers used to initialize the print dialog box when the file is printed. The first page of the PDF file is denoted by 1. Each pair consists of the first and last pages in the sub-range. An odd number of integers causes this entry to be ignored. Negative numbers cause the entire array to be ignored. Default value: as defined by PDF viewer application
  • NumCopies integer (Optional; PDF 1.7) The number of copies to be printed when the print dialog is opened for this file. Supported values are the integers 2 through 5. Values outside this range are ignored. Default value: as defined by PDF viewer application, but typically 1

Embed vector-based Adobe Illustrator (AI) or AI-compatible EPS files. NOTE: EPS is not yet fully implemented, use the setRasterizeVectorImages() method to enable/disable rasterization of vector images using ImageMagick library. Only vector drawing is supported, not text or bitmap. Although the script was successfully tested with various AI format versions, best results are probably achieved with files that were exported in the AI3 format (tested with Illustrator CS2, Freehand MX and Photoshop CS2).

# writeHTMLCell( $w, $h, $x, $y, $html = '', $border = 0, $ln = 0, $fill = false, $reseth = true, $align = '', $autopadding = true )

Prints a cell (rectangular area) with optional borders, background color and html text string. The upper-left corner of the cell corresponds to the current position. After the call, the current position moves to the right or to the next line.
If automatic page breaking is enabled and the cell goes beyond the limit, a page break is done before outputting. IMPORTANT: The HTML must be well formatted - try to clean-up it using an application like HTML-Tidy before submitting. Supported tags are: a, b, blockquote, br, dd, del, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, img, li, ol, p, pre, small, span, strong, sub, sup, table, tcpdf, td, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul NOTE: all the HTML attributes must be enclosed in double-quote.

An XObject Template may be painted multiple times, either on several pages or at several locations on the same page and produces the same results each time, subject only to the graphics state at the time it is invoked. Note: X,Y coordinates will be reset to 0,0.

Parameters

$w
Template width in user units (empty string or zero = page width less margins).
$h
Template height in user units (empty string or zero = page height less margins).
$group
Set transparency group. Can be a boolean value or an array specifying optional parameters: 'CS' (solour space name), 'I' (boolean flag to indicate isolated group) and 'K' (boolean flag to indicate knockout group).

Returns

integer
the XObject Template ID in case of success or false in case of error.
