LIII. Haru PDF Functions

Introduction

The PECL/haru extension provides bindings for Haru Free PDF Library - free, cross platform, opensource software library for generating PDF files.

You can find the library here: http://libharu.sourceforge.net.

Warning

This extension is EXPERIMENTAL. The behaviour of this extension -- including the names of its functions and anything else documented about this extension -- may change without notice in a future release of PHP. Use this extension at your own risk.

Requirements

You need to install libharu first to be able to use PECL/haru. PECL/haru is tested with libharu 2.0.8, older versions might or might not work for you. PECL/haru also requires PHP 5.1.3 or newer.

Installation

Information for installing this PECL extension may be found in the manual chapter titled Installation of PECL extensions. Additional information such as new releases, downloads, source files, maintainer information, and a CHANGELOG, can be located here: http://pecl.php.net/package/haru.

The latest PECL/haru Win32 DLL can be downloaded here: php_haru.dll.

Runtime Configuration

This extension has no configuration directives defined in php.ini.

Examples

Example 1. Basic PECL/haru example

<?php

$doc
= new HaruDoc;

$doc->setPageMode(HaruDoc::PAGE_MODE_USE_THUMBS); /* show thumbnails */

$page = $doc->addPage(); /* add page to the document */
$page->setSize(HaruPage::SIZE_A4, HaruPage::LANDSCAPE); /* set the page to use A4 landscape format */

$courier = $doc->getFont("Courier-Bold"); /* we'll use the bundled font a few lines below */

$page->setRGBStroke(0, 0, 0); /* set colors */
$page->setRGBFill(0.7, 0.8, 0.9);
$page->rectangle(150, 150, 550, 250); /* draw a rectangle */

$page->fillStroke(); /* fill and stroke it */

$page->setDash(array(3, 3), 0); /* set dash style for lines at this page */
$page->setFontAndSize($courier, 60); /* set font and size */

$page->setRGBStroke(0.5, 0.5, 0.1); /* set line color */
$page->setRGBFill(1, 1, 1); /* set filling color */

$page->setTextRenderingMode(HaruPage::FILL_THEN_STROKE); /* fill and stroke text */

/* print the text */
$page->beginText();
$page->textOut(210, 270, "Hello World!");
$page->endText();

$doc->save("/tmp/test.pdf"); /* save the document into a file */

?>

Open the result document in your favourite PDF viewer and you should see a light-blue rectangle and white "Hello World!" on it.

Builtin Fonts And Encodings

Builtin Fonts

These Base14 fonts are built-in into PDF and all viewers can display them. Using these fonts may decrease the size of the result file and make the processing faster, avoiding loading external fonts. However the fonts support only latin1 character set and you have to load external fonts if you need to use an other character set.

The Base14 fonts:

  • Courier

  • Courier-Bold

  • Courier-Oblique

  • Courier-BoldOblique

  • Helvetica

  • Helvetica-Bold

  • Helvetica-Oblique

  • Helvetica-BoldOblique

  • Times-Roman

  • Times-Bold

  • Times-Italic

  • Times-BoldItalic

  • Symbol

  • ZapfDingbats
