gofpdf

Fork of http://code.google.com/p/gofpdf adding SetPage method

Documentation

Overview

Package gofpdf implements a PDF document generator with high level support for text, drawing and images.

Features

• Choice of measurement unit, page format and margins

• Page header and footer management

• Automatic page breaks, line breaks, and text justification

• Inclusion of JPEG, PNG, GIF and basic path-only SVG images

• Colors, gradients and alpha channel transparency

• Outline bookmarks

• Internal and external links

• TrueType, Type1 and encoding support

• Page compression

• Lines, Bézier curves, arcs, and ellipses

• Rotation, scaling, skewing, translation, and mirroring

• Clipping

• Document protection

• Layers

gofpdf has no dependencies other than the Go standard library. All tests pass on Linux, Mac and Windows platforms. Like FPDF version 1.7, from which gofpdf is derived, this package does not yet support UTF-8 fonts. However, support is provided to translate UTF-8 runes to code page encodings.

Acknowledgments

This package's code and documentation are closely derived from the FPDF library created by Olivier Plathey, and a number of font and image resources are copied directly from it. Drawing support is adapted from the FPDF geometric figures script by David Hernández Sanz. Transparency support is adapted from the FPDF transparency script by Martin Hall-May. Support for gradients and clipping is adapted from FPDF scripts by Andreas Würmser. Support for outline bookmarks is adapted from Olivier Plathey by Manuel Cornes. Layer support is adapted from Olivier Plathey. Support for transformations is adapted from the FPDF transformation script by Moritz Wagner and Andreas Würmser. PDF protection is adapted from the work of Klemen Vodopivec for the FPDF product. Lawrence Kesteloot provided code to allow an image's extent to be determined prior to placement. Support for vertical alignment within a cell was provided by Stefan Schroeder. Ivan Daniluk generalized the font and image loading code to use the Reader interface while maintaining backward compatibility. Anthony Starks provided code for the Polygon function. Bruno Michel has provided valuable assistance with the code.

Installation

To install the package on your system, run 

go get code.google.com/p/gofpdf

Later, to receive updates, run 

go get -u code.google.com/p/gofpdf

Quick Start

The following Go code generates a simple PDF. 

pdf := gofpdf.New("P", "mm", "A4", "../font")
pdf.AddPage()
pdf.SetFont("Arial", "B", 16)
pdf.Cell(40, 10, "Hello, world")
pdf.Output(os.Stdout)

See the tutorials in the fpdf_test.go file (shown as examples in this documentation) for more advanced PDF examples.

Errors

If an error occurs in an Fpdf method, an internal error field is set. After this occurs, Fpdf method calls typically return without performing any operations and the error state is retained. This error management scheme facilitates PDF generation since individual method calls do not need to be examined for failure; it is generally sufficient to wait until after Output() is called. For the same reason, if an error occurs in the calling application during PDF generation, it may be desirable for the application to transfer the error to the Fpdf instance by calling the SetError() method or the SetErrorf() method. At any time during the life cycle of the Fpdf instance, the error state can be determined with a call to Ok() or Err(). The error itself can be retrieved with a call to Error().

Conversion Notes

This package is a relatively straightforward translation from the original FPDF library written in PHP (despite the caveat in the introduction to Effective Go). The API names have been retained even though the Go idiom would suggest otherwise (for example, pdf.GetX() is used rather than simply pdf.X()). The similarity of the two libraries makes the original FPDF website a good source of information. It includes a forum and FAQ.

However, some internal changes have been made. Page content is built up using buffers (of type bytes.Buffer) rather than repeated string concatenation. Errors are handled as explained above rather than panicking. Output is generated through an interface of type io.Writer or io.WriteCloser. A number of the original PHP methods behave differently based on the type of the arguments that are passed to them; in these cases additional methods have been exported to provide similar functionality. Font definition files are produced in JSON rather than PHP.

Tutorials

A side effect of running "go test" is the production of the tutorial PDFs. These can be found in the gofpdf/pdf directory after the tests complete.

Please note that these tutorials run in the context of a test. In order run an example as a standalone application, you'll need to examine fpdf_test.go for some helper routines, for example docWriter and strDelimit. In particular, docWriter is used as an argument to OutputAndClose in order to reduce the boilerplate in each example. In practice, you may be better served by calling OutputFileAndClose().

Nonstandard Fonts

Nothing special is required to use the standard PDF fonts (courier, helvetica, times, zapfdingbats) in your documents other than calling SetFont().

In order to use a different TrueType or Type1 font, you will need to generate a font definition file and, if the font will be embedded into PDFs, a compressed version of the font file. This is done by calling the MakeFont function or using the included makefont command line utility. To create the utility, cd into the makefont subdirectory and run "go build". This will produce a standalone executable named makefont. Select the appropriate encoding file from the font subdirectory and run the command as in the following example. 

./makefont --embed --enc=../font/cp1252.map --dst=../font ../font/calligra.ttf

In your PDF generation code, call AddFont() to load the font and, as with the standard fonts, SetFont() to begin using it. See tutorial 7 for an example. Good sources of free, open-source fonts include http://www.google.com/fonts/ and http://dejavu-fonts.org/.

Roadmap

• Handle UTF-8 source text natively. Until then, automatic translation of UTF-8 runes to code page bytes is provided.

• Improve test coverage as reported by the coverage tool.

Functions

func MakeFont 

func MakeFont(fontFileStr, encodingFileStr, dstDirStr string, msgWriter io.Writer, embed bool) (err error)

MakeFont generates a font definition file in JSON format. A definition file of this type is required to use non-core fonts in the PDF documents that gofpdf generates. See the makefont utility in the gofpdf package for a command line interface to this function.

fontFileStr is the name of the TrueType (or OpenType based on TrueType) or Type1 file from which to generate a definition file.

encodingFileStr is the name of the encoding file that corresponds to the font.

dstDirStr is the name of the directory in which to save the definition file and, if embed is true, the compressed font file.

msgWriter is the writer that is called to display messages throughout the process. Use nil to turn off messages.

embed is true if the font is to be embedded in the PDF files.

func UnicodeTranslator 

func UnicodeTranslator(r io.Reader) (f func(string) string, err error)

UnicodeTranslator returns a function that can be used to translate, where possible, utf-8 strings to a form that is compatible with the specified code page. The returned function accepts a string and returns a string.

r is a reader that should read a buffer made up of content lines that pertain to the code page of interest. Each line is made up of three whitespace separated fields. The first begins with "!" and is followed by two hexadecimal digits that identify the glyph position in the code page of interest. The second field begins with "U+" and is followed by the unicode code point value. The third is the glyph name. A number of these code page map files are packaged with the gfpdf library in the font directory.

An error occurs only if a line is read that does not conform to the expected format. In this case, the returned function is valid but does not perform any rune translation.

func UnicodeTranslatorFromFile 

func UnicodeTranslatorFromFile(fileStr string) (f func(string) string, err error)

UnicodeTranslatorFromFile returns a function that can be used to translate, where possible, utf-8 strings to a form that is compatible with the specified code page. See UnicodeTranslator for more details.

fileStr identifies a font descriptor file that maps glyph positions to names.

If an error occurs reading the file, the returned function is valid but does not perform any rune translation.

Types

type Fpdf 

type Fpdf struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Fpdf is the principal structure for creating a single PDF document

Example (Tutorial01)

Hello, world. Note that since only core fonts are used (in this case Arial, a synonym for Helvetica), an empty string can be specified for the font directory in the call to New(). 

package main

import (
	"code.google.com/p/gofpdf"
	"fmt"
	"path/filepath"
)

// Absolute path needed for gocov tool; relative OK for test
const cnGofpdfDir = "."

func main() {
	pdf := gofpdf.New("P", "mm", "A4", "")
	pdf.AddPage()
	pdf.SetFont("Arial", "B", 16)
	pdf.Cell(40, 10, "Hello World!")
	fileStr := filepath.Join(cnGofpdfDir, "pdf/tutorial01.pdf")
	err := pdf.OutputFileAndClose(fileStr)
	if err == nil {
		fmt.Println("Successfully generated pdf/tutorial01.pdf")
	} else {

func New 

func New(orientationStr, unitStr, sizeStr, fontDirStr string) (f *Fpdf)

New returns a pointer to a new Fpdf instance. Its methods are subsequently called to produce a single PDF document.

orientationStr specifies the default page orientation. For portrait mode, specify "P" or "Portrait". For landscape mode, specify "L" or "Landscape". An empty string will be replaced with "P".

unitStr specifies the unit of length used in size parameters for elements other than fonts, which are always measured in points. Specify "pt" for point, "mm" for millimeter, "cm" for centimeter, or "in" for inch. An empty string will be replaced with "mm".

sizeStr specifies the page size. Acceptable values are "A3", "A4", "A5", "Letter", or "Legal". An empty string will be replaced with "A4".

fontDirStr specifies the file system location in which font resources will be found. An empty string is replaced with ".". This argument only needs to reference an actual directory if a font other than one of the core fonts is used.

The JSON definition file (and the font file itself when embedding) must be present in the font directory. If it is not found, the error "Could not include font definition file" is set.

family specifies the font family. The name can be chosen arbitrarily. If it is a standard family name, it will override the corresponding font. This string is used to subsequently set the font with the SetFont method.

style specifies the font style. Acceptable values are (case insensitive) the empty string for regular style, "B" for bold, "I" for italic, or "BI" or "IB" for bold and italic combined.

fileStr specifies the base name with ".json" extension of the font definition file to be added. The file will be loaded from the font directory specified in the call to New() or SetFontLocation().

func (*Fpdf) AddPage 

func (f *Fpdf) AddPage()

AddPage adds a new page to the document. If a page is already present, the Footer() method is called first to output the footer. Then the page is added, the current position set to the top-left corner according to the left and top margins, and Header() is called to display the header.

The font which was set before calling is automatically restored. There is no need to call SetFont() again if you want to continue with the same font. The same is true for colors and line width.

The origin of the coordinate system is at the top-left corner and increasing ordinates go downwards.

See AddPageFormat() for a version of this method that allows the page size and orientation to be different than the default.

CellFormat prints a rectangular cell with optional borders, background color and character string. The upper-left corner of the cell corresponds to the current position. The text can be aligned or centered. After the call, the current position moves to the right or to the next line. It is possible to put a link on the text.

If automatic page breaking is enabled and the cell goes beyond the limit, a page break is done before outputting.

w and h specify the width and height of the cell. If w is 0, the cell extends up to the right margin. Specifying 0 for h will result in no output, but the current position will be advanced by w.

txtStr specifies the text to display.

borderStr specifies how the cell border will be drawn. An empty string indicates no border, "1" indicates a full border, and one or more of "L", "T", "R" and "B" indicate the left, top, right and bottom sides of the border.

ln indicates where the current position should go after the call. Possible values are 0 (to the right), 1 (to the beginning of the next line), and 2 (below). Putting 1 is equivalent to putting 0 and calling Ln() just after.

alignStr specifies how the text is to be positionined within the cell. Horizontal alignment is controlled by including "L", "C" or "R" (left, center, right) in alignStr. Vertical alignment is controlled by including "T", "M" or "B" (top, middle, bottom) in alignStr. The default alignment is left middle.

fill is true to paint the cell background or false to leave it transparent.

link is the identifier returned by AddLink() or 0 for no internal link.

func (*Fpdf) Image 

func (f *Fpdf) Image(imageNameStr string, x, y, w, h float64, flow bool, tp string, link int, linkStr string)

Image puts a JPEG, PNG or GIF image in the current page. The size it will take on the page can be specified in different ways. If both w and h are 0, the image is rendered at 96 dpi. If either w or h is zero, it will be calculated from the other dimension so that the aspect ratio is maintained. If w and h are negative, their absolute values indicate their dpi extents.

Supported JPEG formats are 24 bit, 32 bit and gray scale. Supported PNG formats are 24 bit, indexed color, and 8 bit indexed gray scale. If a GIF image is animated, only the first frame is rendered. Transparency is supported. It is possible to put a link on the image.

imageNameStr may be the name of an image as registered with a call to either RegisterImageReader() or RegisterImage(). In the first case, the image is loaded using an io.Reader. This is generally useful when the image is obtained from some other means than as a disk-based file. In the second case, the image is loaded as a file. Alternatively, imageNameStr may directly specify a sufficiently qualified filename.

However the image is loaded, if it is used more than once only one copy is embedded in the file.

If x is negative, the current abscissa is used.

If flow is true, the current y value is advanced after placing the image and a page break may be made if necessary.

tp specifies the image format. Possible values are (case insensitive): "JPG", "JPEG", "PNG" and "GIF". If not specified, the type is inferred from the file extension.

If link refers to an internal page anchor (that is, it is non-zero; see AddLink()), the image will be a clickable internal link. Otherwise, if linkStr specifies a URL, the image will be a clickable external link.

func (*Fpdf) ImageTypeFromMime 

func (f *Fpdf) ImageTypeFromMime(mimeStr string) (tp string)

ImageTypeFromMime returns the image type used in various image-related functions (for example, Image()) that is associated with the specified MIME type. For example, "jpg" is returned if mimeStr is "image/jpeg". An error is set if the specified MIME type is not supported.

Each color is specified with three component values, one each for red, green and blue. The values range from 0 to 255. The first color is specified by (r1, g1, b1) and the second color by (r2, g2, b2).

The blending is controlled with a gradient vector that uses normalized coordinates in which the lower left corner is position (0, 0) and the upper right corner is (1, 1). The vector's origin and destination are specified by the points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2). In a linear gradient, blending occurs perpendicularly to the vector. The vector does not necessarily need to be anchored on the rectangle edge. Color 1 is used up to the origin of the vector and color 2 is used beyond the vector's end point. Between the points the colors are gradually blended.

See tutorial 13 for an example of this function. 

func (f *Fpdf) Link(x, y, w, h float64, link int)

Link puts a link on a rectangular area of the page. Text or image links are generally put via Cell(), Write() or Image(), but this method can be useful for instance to define a clickable area inside an image. link is the value returned by AddLink().

func (*Fpdf) LinkString 

func (f *Fpdf) LinkString(x, y, w, h float64, linkStr string)

See tutorial 27 for an example of how this function can be used to load an image from the web.

func (*Fpdf) SVGBasicWrite 

func (f *Fpdf) SVGBasicWrite(sb *SVGBasicType, scale float64)

SVGBasicWrite renders the paths encoded in the basic SVG image specified by sb. The scale value is used to convert the coordinates in the path to the unit of measure specified in New(). The current position (as set with a call to SetXY()) is used as the origin of the image. The current line cap style (as set with SetLineCapStyle()), line width (as set with SetLineWidth()), and draw color (as set with SetDrawColor()) are used in drawing the image paths.

See example 20 for a demonstration of this function.

SetPage set the new page number and returns the previous page number.

func (*Fpdf) SetProtection 

func (f *Fpdf) SetProtection(actionFlag byte, userPassStr, ownerPassStr string)

SetProtection applies certain constraints on the finished PDF document.

actionFlag is a bitflag that controls various document operations. CnProtectPrint allows the document to be printed. CnProtectModify allows a document to be modified by a PDF editor. CnProtectCopy allows text and images to be copied into the system clipboard. CnProtectAnnotForms allows annotations and forms to be added by a PDF editor. These values can be combined by or-ing them together, for example, CnProtectCopy|CnProtectModify. This flag is advisory; not all PDF readers implement the constraints that this argument attempts to control.

userPassStr specifies the password that will need to be provided to view the contents of the PDF. The permissions specified by actionFlag will apply.

ownerPassStr specifies the password that will need to be provided to gain full access to the document regardless of the actionFlag value. An empty string for this argument will be replaced with a random value, effectively prohibiting full access to the document.
