n1concepts Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Hi, I need a way to convert a php file (including example of belowtable) as PDF for print. Reason: we need to print content to a specific width & height - labels for specific printer paper - and when printing the web page (itself), the URL, title, etc... is included b/c of the default browser settings. Note: this is a problem b/c multiple locations will use the same web form so I need to convert that page's content (a table with dynamically entered data) to PDF to have that "pdf" form printed which will hold the exact specs of that file. Can someone advise code require to capture the below page content to print as PDF? Below is an example of the actual web page - I used static text instead of dynamic variable to show content in output. <!DOCTYPE HTML> <html> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title>Labels for Print</title> <link href="styles/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen"> </head> <body> <table border="1" align="center" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="5"> <tr> <td class="size"> <div class="pname">Product1 Name</div> <ul> <li>Product1 Feature One</li> <li>Product1 Feature Two</li> <li>Product1 Feature Three</li></ul> <div class="price">$110.99</div> </td> <td class="size"> <div class="pname">Product2 Name</div> <ul> <li>Product2 Feature One</li> <li>Product2 Feature Two</li> <li>Product2 Feature Three</li></ul> <div class="price">$130.99</div> </td> </tr> <td class="size"> <div class="pname">Product3 Name</div> <ul> <li>Product3 Feature One</li> <li>Product3 Feature Two</li> <li>Product3 Feature Three</li></ul> <div class="price">$130.99</div> </td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> ------ I found http://fpdf.org but it only gives basic tutorials - I need to figure out how to capture the above data (which is actually $_SESSIONS; Again, I inserted static text for this example) to print as PDF via Firefox (only); IE will not be used.... Any support defining this code surely appreciated.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n1concepts Posted June 29, 2012 Author Share Posted June 29, 2012 Yeah, Fpdf appears to be the best choice - at least more structured than the others I've viewed - but I'm having some issues getting the table & css aligned the way I need to handle the data positioning for print. I'll continue to play w/it - will figure it out eventually. Note: will post resolution once found. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
