**Generate PDF month calendars with autoscaling/sizing.**

Originally forked from [a-schild/pdfcalendarbuilder](https://github.com/a-schild/pdfcalendarbuilder), but under active maintenance.

With the addMonth() introduced in 1.0.8 you can generate a PDF containing multiple months. Each month will be on it's own page then.

Unique Features
---------------

[](#unique-features)

- The class can try to put everything on one page.
- In an normal calendar, all rows have the same height.
- This library can shrink/expand rows, so everything fits on one page. See setResizeRowHeightsIfNeeded(true/false);
- If this is not enough, it can reduce the font size until everything fits on one page. See setShrinkFontSizeIfNeeded(true/false);

Installation & Usage:
-------------------------

[](#installation--usage)

Run: `composer require efectn/php-pdf-calendar`

### Creating the class and generate calendar

[](#creating-the-class-and-generate-calendar)

```
$cal = new efectn\PDFCalendarBuilder\CalendarBuilder(1, 2019, "Calendar title", true, 'mm', 'A4');
$cal->startPDF();
$cal->addEntry($startDate, $endDate, "Entry 1", "#000000", "#fffff");
$cal->buildCalendar();
$cal->Output("calendar.pdf", "I");

```

### Creating the class and generate calendar for 3 months (Required version 1.0.7 or higher)

[](#creating-the-class-and-generate-calendar-for-3-months-required-version-107-or-higher)

```
$cal = new efectn\PDFCalendarBuilder\CalendarBuilder(1, 2019, "Calendar title Jan", true, 'mm', 'A4');
$cal->startPDF();
$cal->addEntry($startDate1, $endDate1, "Entry 1", "#000000", "#ffffff");
$cal->buildCalendar();
$cal->addMonth(2, 2019, "Title for Feb");
$cal->addEntry($startDate2, $endDate2, "Entry 1", "#000000", "#ffffff");
$cal->buildCalendar();
$cal->addMonth(3, 2019, "Title for March");
$cal->addEntry($startDate3, $endDate3, "Entry 1", "#000000", "#ffffff");
$cal->buildCalendar();
$cal->Output("calendar.pdf", "I");

```
