sfTCPDFPlugin
sfTCPDFPlugin class provides abstraction for the TCPDF library.
The main interest of this FPDF extension resides in the fact that it handles any UTF8 strings.
Installation
Install the plugin
symfony plugin-install http://plugins.symfony-project.com/sfTCPDFPlugin
or download it and unzip in your /plugins directory
Download the TCPDF library
Unzip it inside the /plugins/sfTCPDFplugin/lib folder
At this point, you should have a tcpdf folder in /plugins/sfTCPDFPlugin/lib
Configuration
Set sf_tcpdf_dir in your config.php application if TCPDF library is not inside the /plugins/sfTCPDFplugin/lib folder (check /plugins/sfTCPDFPlugin/config/config.php)
If you want to have custom settings for each generated PDF check /plugins/sfTCPDFPlugin/config/config.php and tcpdf/config/tcpdf_config.php).
If you want to run the tests, enable the sfTCPDF module in your settings.yml file, then call sfTCPDF/test or sfTCPDF/test2
Usage
1 - Hello World test (sfTCPDF/test)
/**
Hello world test
*/
public function executeTest()
{
// pdf object
$pdf = new sfTCPDF();
// settings
$pdf->SetFont("FreeSerif", "", 12);
$pdf->SetMargins(PDF_MARGIN_LEFT, PDF_MARGIN_TOP, PDF_MARGIN_RIGHT);
$pdf->setHeaderFont(array(PDF_FONT_NAME_MAIN, *, PDF_FONT_SIZE_MAIN));
