This project is not actively maintained. For Symfony 3.4 and above, you may wish to use this fork.
This bundle facilitates easy use of the TCPDF PDF generation library in Symfony2 applications.
composer require whiteoctober/tcpdf-bundle
By default, this bundle does not constrain the version of TCPDF that composer installs.
(An explanation of this unusual decision is here).
This means that a composer update
could update to a new major version of TCPDF.
Since this bundle is only a thin wrapper around TCPDF, you can normally do such an upgrade without issue.
However, if you do wish to constrain the TCPDF version, find out what version you currently have installed with:
composer show tecnickcom/tcpdf
And amend your project's composer.json
to add a TCPDF version constraint in the requires
section.
For example, if TCPDF version 6.2.17
was installed, "tecnickcom/tcpdf": "^6.2.17"
will allow anything < 7 when upgrading.
Add the bundle to the registerBundles()
method in your kernel:
In Symfony < 4:
// app/AppKernel.php
<?php
public function registerBundles()
{
$bundles = array(
// ...
new WhiteOctober\TCPDFBundle\WhiteOctoberTCPDFBundle(),
);
}
In Symfony 4:
// config/bundles.php
return [
// ...
WhiteOctober\TCPDFBundle\WhiteOctoberTCPDFBundle::class => ['all' => true],
// ...
];
(This project is not yet configured with Symfony Flex, so this change to config/bundles.php
won't be done automatically.)
If you want to do service autowiring, you'll need to add an alias for the service:
# app/config/services.yml (Symfony 3)
# config/services.yaml (Symfony 4)
services:
# ...
# the `white_october.tcpdf` service will be injected when a
# `WhiteOctober\TCPDFBundle\Controller\TCPDFController` type-hint is detected
WhiteOctober\TCPDFBundle\Controller\TCPDFController: '@white_october.tcpdf'
You can obtain the white_october.tcpdf
service from the container,
and then create a new TCPDF object via the service:
$pdfObj = $container->get("white_october.tcpdf")->create();
From hereon in, you are using a TCPDF object to work with as normal.
You can pass parameters to TCPDF like this:
# app/config/config.yml (Symfony < 4)
# config/packages/white_october_tcpdf.yaml (Symfony 4)
white_october_tcpdf:
tcpdf:
k_title_magnification: 2
You can see the default parameter values in
WhiteOctober\TCPDFBundle\DependencyInjection\Configuration::addTCPDFConfig
.
If you want, you can use TCPDF's own defaults instead:
white_october_tcpdf:
tcpdf:
k_tcpdf_external_config: false # the values set by this bundle will be ignored
If you want to use your own custom TCPDF-based class, you can use
the class
parameter in your configuration:
# app/config/config.yml (Symfony < 4)
# config/packages/white_october_tcpdf.yaml (Symfony 4)
white_october_tcpdf:
class: 'Acme\MyBundle\MyTCPDFClass'
The class must extend from the TCPDF
class; an exception will be
thrown if this is not the case.
