README

Small Yii extension, that wraps a few PHP libraries (mPDF and HTML2PDF so far) to convert HTML to PDF

Resources

• Yii Framework
• mPDF - is a PHP class to generate PDF files from HTML with Unicode/UTF-8 and CJK support
• HTML2PDF - is a PHP class using FPDF for the PHP4 release, and TCPDF for the PHP5 release. It can convert valid HTML and xHTML to PDF

Requirements

• Yii 1.1.9 or above
• mPDF version 5.3 (has been released 2011-07-21) or above
• HTML2PDF version 4.03 (has been released 2011-05-27) or above

Official documentation and examples

• mPDF - manual and examples
• HTML2PDF - Wiki and examples

Installation

• Download and extract extension to the directory protected/extensions/yii-pdf
• Download and extract library (mPDF and/or HTML2PDF) to own directory in catalog protected/vendors or set new value for 'librarySourcePath' parameter in 'params' array
• Array 'defaultParams' - this is an array of constructor's default params of selected library. If you want to change default params - you can set them in config file (like shown below). If you do so - you must keep the order of array items!
• In your protected/config/main.php, add the following:

Installation (through composer)

• Add to your composer.json file the following line "borales/yii-pdf": "dev-master"

<?php
//...
	'components'=>array(
		//...
		'ePdf' => array(
			'class'			=> 'ext.yii-pdf.EYiiPdf',

					'librarySourcePath' => 'application.vendors.mpdf.*',
					'constants'			=> array(
						'_MPDF_TEMP_PATH' => Yii::getPathOfAlias('application.runtime'),
					),
					'class'=>'mpdf', // the literal class filename to be loaded from the vendors folder.
					/*'defaultParams'	  => array( // More info: http://mpdf1.com/manual/index.php?tid=184
						'mode'				=> '', //  This parameter specifies the mode of the new document.
						'format'			=> 'A4', // format A4, A5, ...
						'default_font_size' => 0, // Sets the default document font size in points (pt)
						'default_font'		=> '', // Sets the default font-family for the new document.

					)*/
				),
				'HTML2PDF' => array(
					'librarySourcePath' => 'application.vendors.html2pdf.*',
					'classFile'			=> 'html2pdf.class.php', // For adding to Yii::$classMap
					/*'defaultParams'	  => array( // More info: http://wiki.spipu.net/doku.php?id=html2pdf:en:v4:accueil
						'orientation' => 'P', // landscape or portrait orientation
						'format'	  => 'A4', // format A4, A5, ...
						'language'	  => 'en', // language: fr, en, it ...

						'encoding'	  => 'UTF-8', // charset encoding; Default is UTF-8
						'marges'	  => array(5, 5, 5, 8), // margins by default, in order (left, top, right, bottom)

Usage

<?php
...
	public function actionIndex()
	{
		# mPDF
		$mPDF1 = Yii::app()->ePdf->mpdf();

		# You can easily override default constructor's params
		$mPDF1 = Yii::app()->ePdf->mpdf('', 'A5');

		# render (full page)
		$mPDF1->WriteHTML($this->render('index', array(), true));

		# Load a stylesheet
		$stylesheet = file_get_contents(Yii::getPathOfAlias('webroot.css') . '/main.css');
		$mPDF1->WriteHTML($stylesheet, 1);

		# renderPartial (only 'view' of current controller)
		$mPDF1->WriteHTML($this->renderPartial('index', array(), true));

		# Renders image
		$mPDF1->WriteHTML(CHtml::image(Yii::getPathOfAlias('webroot.css') . '/bg.gif' ));

		# Outputs ready PDF
		$mPDF1->Output();

		////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

		# HTML2PDF has very similar syntax
		$html2pdf = Yii::app()->ePdf->HTML2PDF();
		$html2pdf->WriteHTML($this->renderPartial('index', array(), true));
		$html2pdf->Output();

		////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

		# Example from HTML2PDF wiki: Send PDF by email
		$content_PDF = $html2pdf->Output('', EYiiPdf::OUTPUT_TO_STRING);
		require_once(dirname(__FILE__).'/pjmail/pjmail.class.php');
		$mail = new PJmail();
		$mail->setAllFrom('webmaster@my_site.net', "My personal site");
		$mail->addrecipient('mail_user@my_site.net');
		$mail->addsubject("Example sending PDF");
		$mail->text = "This is an example of sending a PDF file";
		$mail->addbinattachement("my_document.pdf", $content_PDF);
		$res = $mail->sendmail();
