Creating Dynamic PDFs using PHP

Steps to adding an image to a PDF page

• Open the image using GD's imagecreatefrom* family of functions

• Convert the image to a PDF resource using pdf_open_memory_image()

• Place the image on the PDF page using pdf_place_image()

• Close both the PDF image and the GD image resources!

Adding the PHP-Logo to a PDF page

<?php
    $gd_logo = imagecreatefromjpeg("php-logo.jpg");
    $logo = pdf_open_memory_image($pdf_r, $gd_logo);
    $logo_w = pdf_get_value($pdf_r, "imagewidth", $logo);
    imagedestroy($gd_logo);    
    pdf_place_image($pdf_r, $logo, PAGE_WIDTH/2 - ($logo_w/2), PAGE_HEIGHT/2, 1.0);
    pdf_close_image($pdf_r, $logo);
?>
