Working with a PDF stream

I already have a pdf generator creating a pdf on the file, how can I pipe it into the class before finally outputting? I thought I could just give it the data instead of the file, but that won't work since the class tries to open a real file internally.

I'm also interested in this. I already have the original pdf in a string, can the script be enhanced so it accepts strings as well?

Hi,

I will look into this in the first few days.
Thank you for your positive feedback!

Hello,

I enhanced the script in a way that it's possible to input a file contents string

You can find the new version in the file `class.pdffile-loadContents.php`

Similar to the 'normal' example script, you can use the enhanced class as follows:

<?php
require("class.pdffile-loadContents.php");

//adapt this line to your likings ; assign the pdf contents you got from elsewhere, to the variable $pdfContents.

$pdfContents = file_get_contents("...pdf");

//example A: insert javascript and save as new file
$obj = new pdfFile("", $pdfContents);
$obj->insertPrintCode();
$obj->saveAs("example-print.pdf");

//example B: insert javascript and output the file
$obj = new pdfFile("", $pdfContents);
//sets the header information, automatically inserts print code
//and echos the pdf contents (cfr. __toString method)
echo $obj;
?>

Good luck!

cool thanks!

I m trying to use this clas, but pdf is not getting printed automatically, I just see the pdf opening and thats it.

How about printing PDF files with the help of some 3rd party PDF manipulators?
