\#PDFMerger for PHP (PHP 5 and above up to PHP 7.1 and PHP 8 Compatible)

PDFMerger created by Jarrod Nettles December 2009

Updated by Vasiliy Zaytsev February 2016

- Uses tcpdf 6.2.12 by Nicola Asuni
- Uses patched tcpdi\_parser 1.0 by Paul Nicholls with own TCPdiParserException
- Uses TCPDI 1.0 by Paul Nicholls with FPDF\_TPL extension 1.2.3 by Setasign

PHP 5,6,7 and 8 Compatible
--------------------------

[](#php-567-and-8-compatible)

I have made some changes in original codes to make PHPMerger compatible for PHP 5.

- Update

I tested with PHP 7.1 on my local machine and it still works.

Support of PDF 1.5 and PDF 1.6
------------------------------

[](#support-of-pdf-15-and-pdf-16)

FPDF and FPDI libraries replaced by TCPDF with TCPDI extension and parser.

### Using Namespace

[](#using-namespace)

```
require_once ('PDFMerger/PDFMerger.php');

use PDFMerger\PDFMerger;
$pdf = new PDFMerger;

$pdf->addPDF('a.pdf');
$pdf->addPDF('b.pdf');

$pdf->merge('download','merged.pdf');
```

### Example Usage

[](#example-usage)

```
include 'PDFMerger.php';

$pdf = new PDFMerger; // or use $pdf = new \PDFMerger; for Laravel

$pdf->addPDF('samplepdfs/one.pdf', '1, 3, 4');
$pdf->addPDF('samplepdfs/two.pdf', '1-2');
$pdf->addPDF('samplepdfs/three.pdf', 'all');

$pdf->merge('file', 'samplepdfs/TEST2.pdf'); // generate the file

$pdf->merge('download', 'samplepdfs/test.pdf'); // force download

// REPLACE 'file' WITH 'browser', 'download', 'string', or 'file' for output options
```
