[PHP] PHP PDFs...

2004-02-19 Thread Russell P Jones 
Is there any way to deal with PDFS using PHP and not installing PHPlib? I
simply need to pull the first page of a PDF document and print it out
using PHP. (Like a PDF preview of sorts)...

Any ideas?

Do you want to print the pdf on the server? PHPlib would not help you 
with this, it's for creating pdf documents. On unices you can execute 
lpr(1) command. I don't know about windoses.

I'm assuming you meant pdflib, not phplib? If I'm reading your question right, 
I don't know of a way to do it purely from PHP. However,

gs -q -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sOutputFile=output_file.pdf -sDEVICE=pdfwrite 
-dFirstPage=1 -dLastPage=1 -f input_file.pdf

will give you what you want. What you want is a PDF of the first page of 
another PDF, right?
