PHP wrapper for MCPDF
=====================

[](#php-wrapper-for-mcpdf)

This package uses Java package created by m-click (m-click/mcpdf).

### Mcpdf

[](#mcpdf)

Mcpdf is an alternative to PDFtk with fixed unicode issues, so you can write Łódź into your forms.

It implements a small subset of PDFtk for which it implements compatible command line interface, so it can be used as a drop-in replacement for this subset of commands.

Internally it uses the iText PDF library.

### Getting Started

    $xfdf = new \matrix2305\Xfdf\XfdfDocument();
    $xfdf->addField('date', '23.05.1998');
    $xfdfPath = __DIR__.'/test.xfdf';
    $xfdf->save($xfdfPath);

    $mcpdf->setDataXfdfPath($xfdfPath);
    $mcpdf->setFlatten(true);
    $mcpdf->setFromPDFFilePath(__DIR__.'/test.pdf');
