ID: 40557 User updated by: ronnie at signet dot nl Reported By: ronnie at signet dot nl Status: Open Bug Type: PDF related Operating System: FreeBSD PHP Version: 5.2.1 New Comment:
of course the testfile.pdf is an existing .pdf file, that's in the same directory as the .php file itself. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-02-20 12:26:03] ronnie at signet dot nl Description: ------------ I want to make an overlay on an existing PDF file, and according to what I find on your website and on the manual of PDFLib is that I need PDF_open_pdi (pdi ->pdf import). the function description on the websites are : int pdf_open_pdi(int resource, string filename, "",0) however, when I make an empty PDF object with: $p=new PDFlib, and I user $p as the first parameter in the call to the function pdf_open_pdi, I get the next errormessage : PDFlib exception occured in hello sample : [0]: PDFlib::open_pdi() expects parameter 1 to be string, object given Reproduce code: --------------- I call to this function like this : <? ... $p = new PDFlib(); ... $filename = "testfile.pdf"; $p->open_pdi($pdf , $filename, ""); ... ?> In my opinion this should work... but it doesnt. http://ronnie.signet.nl/pdftest.php #I'll leave this file in place so you can see what it does Expected result: ---------------- I expected the original pdf file to be opened and added as some sort of background, so I could take the default PDFlib functions to create some sort of overlay function. Actual result: -------------- However, if I create a blank pdf, and open another with open_pdi, instead of that I can do what's written in the PDFlib manual, I get an errormessage in return, that tells me that open_pdi's first parameter should be a string. But if this were a string, how should I be able to operate on it later as if it were a PDF (object) ? I hope someone can figure out some answer for me, that I can make it work. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=40557&edit=1
