PDF Creation

[soulreaver]

Hi,

I'm trying to create a page that will allow users on an Intranet to upload PS files and have the server create a pdf file. I have GSView and Ghostscript installed on the server but I can't get the script right to do it.

The server is WinNT4 (soon to be 2K) using PHP4.1 and latest versions of ghost.

Any help greatly appreciated

This might be a waste of your time but I noticed a pdf/php tutorial at devshed

Thanks for the reply. It's not exactly what I'm trying to do but it has given me some additional ideas for my Intranet.

More brownie points with the boss 😃

Thanks

Hi,

I read the DevShed tutorial and I installed PDFlib on my server and it looks OK - phpinfo has a section PDF reading PDF Support enabled...

However, when I try to run the first test script :

<?php
// create handle for new PDF document
$pdf = pdf_new();

// open a file
pdf_open_file($pdf, "philosophy.pdf");

// start a new page (A4)
pdf_begin_page($pdf, 595, 842);

// get and use a font object
$arial = pdf_findfont($pdf, "Arial", "host", 1); pdf_setfont($pdf,
$arial, 10);

// print text
pdf_show_xy($pdf, "There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio,",
50, 750); pdf_show_xy($pdf, "than are dreamt of in your philosophy", 50,
730);

// end page
pdf_end_page($pdf);

// close and save file
pdf_close($pdf);
?>

...I get the message:

Fatal error: PDFlib error: function 'PDF_begin_page' must not be called in 'object' scope in /usr/local/pathto/pdf.php on line 9

Any ideas much appreciated
