Create a Simple PDF Portfolio
This demo shows you how to create a simple PDF portfolio (aka PDF package or PDF Collection) with a local and a dynamic file.
Note: The viewer application needs to support PDF packages. Otherwise the files will be simple attachments.
PHP
<?php
use setasign\SetaPDF2\Core\Document;
use setasign\SetaPDF2\Core\PageFormats;
use setasign\SetaPDF2\Core\Reader\StringReader;
use setasign\SetaPDF2\Core\Writer\HttpWriter;
use setasign\SetaPDF2\Merger\Collection;
// load and register the autoload function
require_once __DIR__ . '/../../../../../bootstrap.php';
// create a document as the cover sheet
$writer = new HttpWriter('simple-portfolio.pdf');
$document = new Document($writer);
$document->getCatalog()->getPages()->create(PageFormats::A4);
// we leave it empty for demonstration purpose...
// create a collection instance
$collection = new Collection($document);
// add a file through a local path
$collection->addFile(
$assetsDirectory . '/pdfs/tektown/Laboratory-Report.pdf',
'Laboratory-Report.pdf',
'Description of Laboratory-Report.pdf'
);
// add a dynamically created text file
$textFile = 'A simple text content';
$collection->addFile(
new StringReader($textFile),
'text-file.txt',
'The description of the text file.'
);
// save and finish
$document->save()->finish();
