WhiteOctoberTCPDFBundle

This bundle facilitates easy use of the TCPDF PDF generation library in Symfony2 applications.

Installation

Step 1: Add both the bundle and TCPDF to your deps file

[WhiteOctoberTCPDFBundle]
    git=http://github.com/whiteoctober/WhiteOctoberTCPDFBundle.git
    target=/bundles/WhiteOctober/TCPDFBundle

[TCPDF]
    git=git://tcpdf.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/tcpdf/tcpdf
    target=/tcpdf

Now run the vendors script to download the bundle and library:

$ php bin/vendors install

Step 2: Configure the autoloader

Add the WhiteOctober namespace to your autoloader:

<?php
// app/autoload.php

$loader->registerNamespaces(array(
    // ...
    'WhiteOctober' => __DIR__.'/../vendor/bundles',
));

Step 3: Enable the bundle in the kernel

Add the bundle to the registerBundles() method in your kernel:

<?php
// app/AppKernel.php

public function registerBundles()
{
    $bundles = array(
        // ...
        new WhiteOctober\TCPDFBundle\WhiteOctoberTCPDFBundle(),
    );
}

Using 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.

Using a custom class

If you want to use your own custom TCPDF-based class, you can use the class parameter in your configuration eg in config.yml:

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.
