Hi All,
Given we have 800 people here, maybe it's time for an on-topic
question.
I'm using the PDF library from the Zend framework, version 1.11.0. For
certain fonts, when creating a PDF and using these fonts, Zend fails
to do so properly. So the result is simply a bad PDF.
Here a very simple file:
set_include_path ('ZendFramework-1.11.0-minimal/library');
require_once 'Zend/Loader/Autoloader.php';
$loader = Zend_Loader_Autoloader::getInstance();
$pdf = new Zend_Pdf();
$pdf->pages[] = $pdf->newPage('289:189:');
$font = Zend_Pdf_Font::fontWithPath('ColabThi-webfont.ttf');
$pdf->pages[0]->setFont($font, 35);
$pdf->pages[0]->drawText('TestLogo', 22, 120);
$pdf->save('result.pdf');
This ttf file is not handled properly by Zend. The ttf is correct as
other tools can create a PDF and embed it just fine.
I've put up an example here:
http://www.berenddeboer.net/zend_pdf/result_colaborate_thin.pdf
And a correct page looks like this:
http://www.berenddeboer.net/zend_pdf/correct_result.pdf
Anyone has seen this before? It appears to happen with type
"TrueType", not with type "CID TrueType" fonts.
Someone else reported something similar:
http://zendframework.com/issues/browse/ZF-9908?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.ext.subversion%3Asubversion-commits-tabpanel
I like to avoid debugging the Zend framework if I can. Recommendations for
other PDF creation frameworks welcome.
