Pdfcrowd HTML to PDF API client
===============================

[](#pdfcrowd-html-to-pdf-api-client)

**This package is no longer maintained, use this  instead.**

The Pdfcrowd API lets you easily create PDF from web pages or raw HTML code in your PHP applications.

To use the API, you need an account on [http://pdfcrowd.com](https://pdfcrowd.com), if you don't have one you can sign up [here](https://pdfcrowd.com/pricing/api/). This will give you a username and an API key.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Copy [pdfcrowd.php](https://github.com/pdfcrowd/pdfcrowd-php/blob/master/pdfcrowd.php)to your source directory.

Example
-------

[](#example)

Server side PDF generation. This code converts a web page and sends the generated PDF to the browser (don't forget to use your `"username"`and `"apikey"`):

```
require 'pdfcrowd.php';

try
{
    // create an API client instance
    $client = new Pdfcrowd("username", "apikey");

    // convert a web page and store the generated PDF into a $pdf variable
    $pdf = $client->convertURI('http://example.com/');

    // set HTTP response headers
    header("Content-Type: application/pdf");
    header("Cache-Control: no-cache");
    header("Accept-Ranges: none");
    header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"created.pdf\"");

    // send the generated PDF
    echo $pdf;
}
catch(PdfcrowdException $e)
{
    echo "Pdfcrowd Error: " . $e->getMessage();
}

```

Other basic operations:

```
// convert an HTML string
$html = "In-memory HTML.";
$pdf = $client->convertHtml($html);

// convert an HTML file
$pdf = $client->convertFile('/path/to/local/file.html');

```
