Version Update :: Url2PdfReport Class

June 27, 2006

Yesterday I released version 1.1 of Url2PdfReport Class. Changes that come with this version are simple but helpful. Because of some user-queries, I added the following methods to the class:

———————————————————–

/**
* Sets PDF version (added on 06/23/2006)
* @param pdf version
* @return none
*/
function setPdfVersion($pdfVersion)
{
/*
$pdfVersion = 1.3 for Adobe Acrobat Reader 4
$pdfVersion = 1.4 for Adobe Acrobat Reader 5
$pdfVersion = 1.5 for Adobe Acrobat Reader 6
*/
$this->pdfVersion = $pdfVersion;
}

/**
* Sets PDF header (added on 06/26/2006)
* @param pdf header
* @return none
*/
function setPdfHeader($pdfHeader)
{
$this->headerHtml = $pdfHeader;
}

/**
* Sets PDF footer (added on 06/26/2006)
* @param pdf header
* @return none
*/
function setPdfFooter($pdfFooter)
{
$this->footerHtml = $pdfFooter;
}
———————————————

I got some mails from some members of phpclasses.org. They suggested me to give a pdf version option so that they can choose their version option according to their available pdf reader. I did so.

And yesterday one of the phpResource members asked if header and footer can be added to the pdf. I added so to the class.

To use the latest options with your PDF, use the class as following :
——————————————————————
require_once(‘Url2PdfReport.class.php’);

$obj = new Url2PdfReport();

//pdf version
$pdfVersion = ‘1.4′; //change it according to your need
/*
$pdfVersion = 1.3 for Acrobat Reader 4
$pdfVersion = 1.4 for Acrobat Reader 5
$pdfVersion = 1.5 for Acrobat Reader 6
*/

//set PDF version
$obj->setPdfVersion($pdfVersion);

//set Pdf Header
$headerHtml = “put whatever you want to put in header”;
$obj->setPdfHeader($headerHtml);

//set Pdf Footer
$footerHtml = “put whatever you want to put in footer”;
$obj->setPdfFooter($footerHtml);

//sets URL of the HTML file which will be converted to PDF
//change this according to your URL
$obj->setUrl(“http://localhost/phpclasses/url2pdfreport/first_test.html”);

//gets the pdf report of the URL data
$obj->getPdfReport();

——————————————————————-

Hopefully programmers using this class will get some more helps by these changes.
