Creating Dynamic PDFs using PHP

How to render text on a PDF page

Rendering text on a PDF page is done in three steps:

• Finding a font to render the text with (pdf_findfont())

• Selecting the font to use (pdf_setfont())

• Rendering the text on the page (pdf_show_xy())


<?php
    $font = pdf_findfont($pdf, "Helvetica", "auto", false);
    pdf_setfont($pdf, $font, 30);
    pdf_show_xy($pdf, "PHP Developer's Handbook", $x_cord, $y_cord);
?>
