Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - Compatible with PHP up to version 8.3+ Usage ----- [](#usage) ### Using AcroForm Fields [](#using-acroform-fields) #### Adding Checkboxes [](#adding-checkboxes) Use the `CheckboxField` function to add checkboxes to your PDF. The `$properties` array can include: - `value`: Assign a value to differentiate checkboxes. Checkboxes with the same name become mutually exclusive. - `checked`: Set to `true` to pre-check the checkbox. ``` $pdf->CheckboxField('option1', 20, 140, 5, 5, array('value' => 'A', 'checked' => true)); $pdf->CheckboxField('option1', 20, 150, 5, 5, array('value' => 'B')); $pdf->CheckboxField('option2', 20, 160, 5, 5, array('checked' => true)); // Independent checkbox ``` #### Adding Text Fields [](#adding-text-fields) Use the `TextField` function to add text input fields. The `$properties` array can include: - `value`: The text displayed inside the field. - `signature`: Set to `true` to make the field a signature field. - `multiline`: Set to `true` to allow multiple lines of text. ``` $pdf->TextField('fullname', 'John Doe', 20, 180, 60, 10); $pdf->TextField('comments', '', 20, 200, 100, 30, array('multiline' => true)); $pdf->TextField('signature', '', 20, 250, 80, 20, array('signature' => true)); ``` ### Setting Transparency (>=v1.1.0) [](#setting-transparency-v110) You can use the `SetAlpha` function to control the transparency of elements in your PDF. ``` require('aftFPDF.php'); $pdf = new aftFPDF(); $pdf->AddFont('DejaVuSans', '', 'DejaVuSans.ttf', true); $pdf->SetFont('DejaVuSans'); $pdf->AddPage(); // Set an alpha value for the rectangle $pdf->SetAlpha(0.5); $pdf->Rect(20, 20, 50, 50, 'F'); // Set an 50% alpha value for the fill, but keep 100% for the stroke $pdf->SetAlpha(0.5, 1); $pdf->Rect(40, 40, 50, 50, 'DF'); // Also works with text $pdf->SetFontSize(64); $pdf->SetAlpha(0.5); $pdf->SetTextColor(255, 0, 0); $pdf->Text(45, 62, "Hello World"); $pdf->SetTextColor(0, 0, 255); $pdf->Text(46, 63, "Hello World"); $pdf->Output('output.pdf', 'F'); ``` License ------- [](#license) This project is licensed under the **GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 (LGPL-3.0)**.
