Unofficial PSR-0 compliant version of the FPDF library

This is version 1.7 with some minor changes:

- the library is namespaced in fpdf. To create instance use

    $fpdf = new \\fpdf\\FPDF();
- directory structure follow the PSR-0 standard with src/ as root
- on error a RuntimeException is thrown instead on lib dramatically dying
- constructor is renamed `__construct` instead of `FPDF`

Installing with composer
------------------------

[](#installing-with-composer)

The package exists in the packagist repository as `itbz/fpdf`.

FPDF\_EXTENDED
--------------

[](#fpdf_extended)

This package also contains some extensions that break backwards compatibility. To access the enhanced functinality use `FPDF_EXTENDED` instead of `FPDF`.

- FPDF\_EXTENDED expects all input to be UTF-8 encoded. FPDF natively expects all input to be ISO-8859-1 encoded and recommends the use of utf8\_decode() when working with utf-8 encoded strings.
- FPDF uses a somewath strange syntax for printing the total number of pages in the pdf. FPDF\_EXTENDED defines two methods to handle this. `TotalPagesNo()`returns a string that will be replaced with total number of pages at output. `PaginationStr()` takes an optional delimiter (default '/') and retuns '{current page} / {total number of pages}'.
- Calling `AliasNbPages()` is no longer necessary.
- You may set an image path using `setImagePath()` and `image()` will be able to understand relative paths.
- FPDF\_EXTENDED gracefuly handles missing font styles. If a font is only defined (added) for one style (eg. bold) and you try to use another (eg. italic) this FPDF\_EXTENDED fallbacks to the defined style (eg. bold). Regular styles takes precedence.
- FPDF\_EXTENDED defines `moveX()` and `moveY()` to move the cursor, in addition to FPDFs `setX()` and `setY()`.
- Subclasses of FPDF\_EXTENDED may define `draw()`. Draw is called just before pdf is rendered. In this may actions can be taken just before pdf creation.
- FPDF\_EXTENDED defines `GetPdf()` as a shorthand for outputing the pdf as a raw string.
- AS of version 1.7.2 FPDF\_EXTENDED defines WriteXY() for writing to a specified position.
