PDF Response for Nette 2.0

• sends template as PDF output
• mPDF required - http://www.mpdf1.com/mpdf/download (version 5.6 tested)
• works with Nette 2.0.8 (released on 2013-01-01)
• no js support
• nice api

Default file locations

libs/mPDF/
libs/netterobots.txt (prevents from caching all mPDF classes)
libs/PdfResponse.php (anywhere)

Use

<?php

use PdfResponse;

class MyPresenter extends Nette\Application\UI\Presenter
{

    public function actionPdf()
    {
        $template = $this->createTemplate()->setFile(APP_DIR . "/templates/myPdf.latte");
        $template->someValue = 123;
        // Tip: In template to make a new page use <pagebreak>

        $pdf = new \PdfResponse($template, $this->presenter);
        $pdf->documentTitle = "costum file name 123";

        // optional
        $pdf->documentTitle = date("Y-m-d") . " My super title"; // creates filename 2012-06-30-my-super-title.pdf
        $pdf->pageFormat = "A4-L"; // wide format
        $pdf->getMPDF()->setFooter("|© www.mysite.com|"); // footer

        // now you have 3 posibilites:

        // 1. render template in browser and terminate, e.g. testing
        $pdf->test();

        // 2. save file to server
        $pdf->save(WWW_DIR . "/generated/"); // as a filename $this->documentTitle will be used
        $pdf->save(WWW_DIR . "/generated/", "another file 123); // OR use a custom name

        // OR in case of mail attachment, returns path to file on server
        $savedFile = $pdf->save(WWW_DIR . "/contracts/"); 
        $mail = new Nette\Mail\Message;
        $mail->addTo("john@doe.com");
        $mail->addAttachment($savedFile);
        $mail->send();

        // 3. send pdf file to output (save/open by user) and terminate
        $pdf->output();
    }

}

?>
