FPDF
====

[](#fpdf)

This repository is a wrapper (with small enhancements) around the popular FPDF library. See [FPDF homepage](http://www.fpdf.org/) for more information about the usage.

It also includes the class fpdfprotection that extends fpdf and sets some basic protection for PDF-files.

Installation using [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/)
-------------------------------------------------------

[](#installation-using-composer)

```
$ composer require emscherland/fpdf
```

Usage (fpdf without protection)
-------------------------------

[](#usage-fpdf-without-protection)

In your php file where you want to use the class:

```
$pdf = new \Emscherland\Fpdf\Fpdf();
```

For the usage please look at the FPDF documentation.

Usage (fpdf with protection)
----------------------------

[](#usage-fpdf-with-protection)

In your php file where you want to use the class:

```
$pdf = new \Emscherland\Fpdf\FpdfProtection();
```

For the usage please look at the FPDF documentation.

To set password and protection level (with example data):

```
$permission=array('print', 'modify', 'copy', 'annot-forms');
$user_pass='geheim';
$owner_pass='strenggeheim';

$pdf->SetProtection($permission,$user_pass,$owner_pass);
```

Please choose your own passwords. :-)
