Includes a layout engine to handle flow content (e.g. text spanning over more than one page). ``` composer require famoser/pdf-generator ``` This is still under active development ([contributions welcome!](./CONTRIBUTE.md)), and the public API is subject to change. If you are looking for a more mature project, see . Getting started --------------- [](#getting-started) Using the printer: ``` // places "Hello world" in the top-left corner of the document. $document = new Document(); $printer = $document->createPrinter(); $bodyText = new TextStyle(Font::createFromDefault()); $printer->printText('Hello world', $bodyText); file_put_contents('example.pdf', $document->save()); ``` The printer is useful when the exact position of elements is known. For example, for correspondence with fixed layout (e.g. the address in a letter) or for documents with page numbers. However, for many elements (such as tables) determining the exact position is cumbersome. For this, layouts are provided. Using layouts: ``` // adds a rectangle, followed by "Hello moon". // placement is decided by Flow, which places elements one-after-the-other. $flow = new Flow(); $rectangle = new Rectangle(width: 120, height: 80, style: new DrawingStyle()); $flow->addContent($rectangle); $text = new Text(); $text->addSpan('Hello moon', $bodyText); $flow->add($text); $document->add($flow); file_put_contents('example.pdf', $document->save()); ``` The layouts allow to declare *what* needs to be printed, and then takes care of the *where*. Provided are flows, grids, tables and text.
