cpdf_show

Name

cpdf_show — Output text at current position

Synopsis

bool cpdf_show(pdfdoc, text); resource pdfdoc: PDF document identifier string text: Text

Returns

TRUE on success or FALSE on error

Description

Displays text at the current drawing position. This is functionally different to cpdf_show_xy() where you are able to explictly define the text placement coordinates. Instead, this function relies on cpdf_set_text_pos() or other drawing functions to define the drawing point prior to displaying the text.

Version

Since versions 3.0.8 and 4.0

Example

Example 178. Display Text

// start a PDF document
$cpdf = cpdf_open(0, "test.pdf");

// create a 600x400 page
cpdf_page_init($cpdf, 1, 0, 600, 400, 1);

cpdf_begin_text($cpdf);
cpdf_set_font($cpdf, "Helvetica", 18, "WinAnsiEncoding");

// set text position and display text
cpdf_set_text_pos($cpdf, 10, 500);
cpdf_show($cpdf, "Hello");
cpdf_show($cpdf, " World");

cpdf_end_text($cpdf);

// close and write document
cpdf_finalize($cpdf);
cpdf_close($cpdf);
