"Fatal error: PDFlib error: [2100] PDF_begin_page: Function must not be called in 'object' scope"



I found a solution for this fault: 

when i got the fault, this was the script -> 



<?php



$pdf = pdf_new();



pdf_open_file($pdf, "C:\web\pdf\test45.pdf");

pdf_begin_page($pdf, 595, 842);

pdf_set_font($pdf, "Times-Roman", 30, "host");

pdf_set_value($pdf, "textrendering", 1);

pdf_show_xy($pdf, "A PDF document is created!", 50, 750);

pdf_end_page($pdf);

pdf_close($pdf);



?> 



but when i added some slashes to the path:



<?php



$pdf = pdf_new();



pdf_open_file($pdf, "C:\\web\\pdf\\test45.pdf");

pdf_begin_page($pdf, 595, 842);

pdf_set_font($pdf, "Times-Roman", 30, "host");

pdf_set_value($pdf, "textrendering", 1);

pdf_show_xy($pdf, "A PDF document is created!", 50, 750);

pdf_end_page($pdf);

pdf_close($pdf);



?> 



there wasn't no fault anymore and the pdf-file was succesfully created



I think you guys get the point ( add 2 slashes )

"Fatal error: PDFlib error: [2100] PDF_begin_page: Function must not be called in 'object' scope.."



If you get this error then you probably forgot to call pdf_open_file() or pdf_open_file() failed.

The example uses pdf_set_font, but that function is deprecated. Instead use pdf_setfont (without the underscore).

...

$fd = fopen("download/liste.pdf", "w");

$pdfdoc = pdf_open($fd);

pdf_begin_page($pdfdoc, 595, 842);

pdf_set_font($pdfdoc, "Helvetica", 20, "host", 1);

pdf_set_text_pos($pdfdoc, 50, 795);

pdf_show($pdfdoc, "Liste");

...

does not work under PHP5, use

...

$fd = fopen("download/liste.pdf", "w");

$pdfdoc = pdf_new();

pdf_open_file($pdfdoc, "download/liste.pdf");

pdf_begin_page($pdfdoc, 595.3, 841.8);

$font = pdf_findfont($pdfdoc, "Helvetica", "winansi", 0);

pdf_set_font($pdfdoc, $font, 20);

pdf_set_text_pos($pdfdoc, 50, 795);

pdf_show($pdfdoc, "Liste");

After some troubles I found filename must be absolute path  here in windows; relative path doesn't work in my box.

It is possible to append pdfs to each other, however it requires the commercial version of PDFlib with PDI support (http://www.pdflib.com) 



I've used it quite a bit and is well worth the price they are asking for.

When creating a pdf in memory, it appears that the code is executed twice. This does not seem to happen when creating a pdf as file. Not a problem when outputing a pdf, but does cause a problem if doing other writes in the same code:



// the write to the file is executed twice

$fp = fopen("testfile.htm", "a");

fwrite($fp, "testline/") ;

fclose($fp);

//--------------



$pdf = pdf_new();



if (!pdf_open_file($pdf, "")) {

    print error;

    exit;

};



pdf_begin_page($pdf, 8.5*72, 11*72);

pdf_set_font($pdf, "Helvetica-Bold", 24, "host");

pdf_set_text_pos($pdf, 50, 700);

pdf_show($pdf,"Hello,world!");

pdf_end_page($pdf);

pdf_close($pdf);



$buf = pdf_get_buffer($pdf);

$len = strlen($buf);



header("Content-type: application/pdf");

header("Content-Length: $len");

header("Content-Disposition: inline; filename=foo.pdf");

print $buf;

Appending to PDF files: plainly, you can't. PDF files have an internal structure that would get corrupted by just appending to the file. You'd need to parse the PDF, create a new PDF and mix your additions with the old PDF. Just creating a new one should be *much* easier.



Reading back the results: do a fopen() on the temporary file and use fgets() to read it. In your example where you just want to output the file, passthru should do the trick.

If you get "Fatal error: PDFlib error: function 'PDF_set_info' must not be called in 'object' scope in script.php on line xxx" when using pdf_open_file with a filename, make sure your webserver has write permissions to the directory your are trying to save your PDF file to.
