// This will add image to the pdf with given dimensions. $pdf->addImage($imagePath, 80, 60, 30, 20); // x-y coordinates and width-height
You can set active page using setPage()
method.
// This will set the active page as 1. $pdf->setPage(1);
You can set margins using setMargins()
method.
// This will set margin as 10 for left, 15 for top, 20 for right // and overwrite the default margins. $pdf->setMargins(10, 15, 20, true);

You can add
Parsing pdf
You can parse the pdf and get the page you want.
// This will return pdf page count. // $file can be path, url or blob. $fileCount = EasyPdf::parser($file)->count(); // You can use stream or content method here as well. $parsedPdf = EasyPdf::parser($file) ->setPage(1) ->save(storage_path('app/imports/new.pdf'));
Merging pdf
You can merge multiple pdf into the one with easily using easy-pdf.
// Pdf paths. // Pdf paths can be path, url or blob. $files = [ '/path/to/the/file.pdf', '/path/to/the/anotherFile.pdf', ]; // You can use stream or content method here as well. $pdf = EasyPdf::merge($files) ->content();
Splitting pdf
You can split pdf file into multiple pdf files easily using easy-pdf.
// Pdf path. // Pdf path can be path, url or blob. $file = '/path/to/the/file.pdf'; // You can use splitTo method to get new pdf contents // chunkSize argument determines that how many page should contain every pdf file // For example if you want to split your pdf file as each file includes 10 page // Then you must set chunkSize argument to 10 $pdfs = EasyPdf::parser($file) ->splitTo(10); foreach($pdfs as $pdfContent) { // Your code here }
Resetting the instance
If you try to generate pdf inside a Laravel queue, sometimes there might occure an error like undefined property: TCPDF::$h
.
The error occurs 2nd time you use the EasyPdf facade after you already created a PDF. Since EasPdf service is registered as singleton to the service container, it returns the same instance when you use it 2nd time and somehow it's broken.
To avoid the error which mentioned above you can use reset()
method in the beginning. This will return a new TCPDF instance.
$pdf = EasyPdf::reset() ->withInformation([ 'Creator' => 'Tarfin', 'Author' => 'Faruk Can', 'Title' => 'EasyPdf', 'Keywords' => 'easy, pdf', 'AutoPageBreak' => [true, 0], ]) ->withConfig([ 'ImageScale' => PDF_IMAGE_SCALE_RATIO, ]) ->setFont('times', 16) // use default fonts ->loadHtml($html) // each load html creates a new page ->content(); // return pdf content as a string
Pdf Header and Setter
After using reset()
method for creating new Tcpdf instance for each page, automatically header line added to Pdf. Whether you want or not you can use setHeader' for print header or
setFooter` for print footer content.
$pdf = EasyPdf::reset() ->setHeader(false);
