What is this? ------------- [](#what-is-this) **FPDF Traits** is a collection of community FPDF scripts converted into reusable PHP Traits. The original FPDF ecosystem provides many useful scripts (rotations, barcodes, tables, bookmarks, watermarks, etc.), but most of them rely on class inheritance, making it difficult to combine multiple scripts in the same PDF class. This project solves that limitation by transforming those scripts into composable Traits. Instead of: ``` class PDF extends PDF_Rotate { } ``` you can now do: ``` class PDF extends FPDF { use RotateTrait; use BookmarkTrait; use Code128Trait; } ``` This allows developers to build custom PDF engines by composing only the features they need. Why? ---- [](#why) Traditional FPDF extensions have several limitations: - Single inheritance restrictions - Difficult script composition - Tight coupling between scripts - Repeated code between extensions - Harder maintenance Using Traits provides: - Modular architecture - Better code reuse - Easier maintenance - Multiple feature composition - Cleaner integration - Better compatibility with modern PHP projects Installation ------------ [](#installation) Install via Composer: ``` composer require fawno/fpdf-traits ``` Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - PHP 8.1 or higher - FPDF 1.8+ Basic usage ----------- [](#basic-usage) ``` use Fawno\FPDF\FawnoFPDF; $pdf = new FawnoFPDF(); $pdf->AddPage(); $pdf->SetFont('Arial','B',16); $pdf->Cell(40,10,'Hello World!'); $pdf->Output(); ``` Alternative usage ----------------- [](#alternative-usage) ``` use FPDF\Traits\Attachments\AttachmentsTrait; class PDF extends FPDF { use AttachmentsTrait; } ``` Available Traits ---------------- [](#available-traits) [Available traits](traits). ### Graphics [](#graphics) - [PDFRotate](traits/PDFRotate) by **Olivier** (2002-11-17) - [PDFTransform](traits/PDFTransform) by **Moritz Wagner & Andreas Würmser** (2005-09-04) - [PDFDraw](traits/PDFDraw) by **David Hernández Sanz** (2005-01-16) ### Text [](#text) - [PDFBookmark](traits/PDFBookmark) by **Olivier** (2002-11-17) - [PDFMultiCellsTable](traits/PDFMultiCellsTable) by **Olivier** (2002-11-17) - [PDFCircularText](traits/PDFCircularText) by **Andreas Würmserr** (2006-04-09) - [RPDF](traits/RPDF) by **Pivkin Vladimir** (2003-08-28) ### Barcodes [](#barcodes) - [PDFCode128](traits/PDFCode128) by **Roland Gautier** (2016-01-31) - [QRcode](traits/QRcode) by **Laurent MINGUET** (2010-04-29) ### Others [](#others) - [PDFProtection](traits/PDFProtection) by **Klemen Vodopivec** (2018-03-19) - [PDFMemImage](traits/PDFMemImage) by **Olivier** (2004-04-05) - [Attachments](traits/Attachments) by **Olivier** (2012-04-29) - [ESignaturePlaceholder](traits/ESignaturePlaceholder) by **Erik N.** (2025-12-06) Compatibility ------------- [](#compatibility) Each Trait is a direct adaptation of an original FPDF script whenever possible. The goal is to preserve compatibility with original examples and documentation. This project is designed to work directly with the official FPDF class. Some Traits may depend on internal FPDF methods like: - `_out()` - `_newobj()` - `_putstream()` Because of this, compatibility may be tied to specific FPDF versions. Please check each Trait documentation. Philosophy ---------- [](#philosophy) This project follows these principles: - Keep original script behavior - Minimal API changes - Maximum composability - Modern PHP standards - Clean namespaces - PSR-4 autoloading Contributing ------------ [](#contributing) Contributions are welcome. You can help by: - Porting new FPDF scripts into Traits - Improving compatibility - Writing tests - Improving documentation - Reporting issues Credits ------- [](#credits) - Original [FPDF](https://www.fpdf.org/) library by Olivier Plathey - Original community scripts from the [FPDF Script Repository](https://www.fpdf.org/en/script/index.php) - All contributors to the FPDF ecosystem ### Health Score 34 — LowBetter than 74% of packages Maintenance90 Actively maintained with recent releases Popularity3 Limited adoption so far Community6 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity31 Early-stage or recently created project Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
