pdf-generation

Out of simple curiosity, having seen the smallest GIF , what is the smallest possible valid PDF file? This is an interesting problem. Taking it by the book, you can start off with this: %PDF-1.0 1 0 obj<</Type/Catalog/Pages 2 0 R>>endobj 2 0 obj<</Type/Pages/Kids[3 0 R]/Count 1>>endobj 3 0 obj<</Type/Page/MediaBox[0 0 3 3]>>endobj xref 0 4 0000000000 65535 f 0000000010 00000 n 0000000053 00000 n 0000000102 00000 n trailer<</Size 4/Root 1 0 R>> startxref 149 %EOF which is 291 bytes of PDF joy. Acrobat opens it, but it complains somewhat. There is one page in it and it is 3/72" square, the

I want to generate PDF from a PHP file that includes HTML controls like textbox, and textarea. I attached CSS in the same. I tried FPDF, DOMPDF and TCPDF, but still I don't get exactly what I want. How do I pass HTML controls with PHP variables and CSS to these libraries? Mark Baker mpdf is another option that you could try. Hardik Thaker EDIT : Found another solution for it, TCPDF is a FLOSS PHP class for generating PDF documents. Looks more dominating library. " PRINCEXML " is a good library (not completely free now). Others: If your meaning is to create a PDF file from PHP , pdflib will

using ImageMagick, what command should i use to convert a PDF to PNG? I need highest quality, smallest file size. this is what I have so far (very slow by the way): convert -density 300 -depth 8 -quality 85 a.pdf a.png Looking at what Gmail does when a user "view" a PDF, the quality is awesome and the file size very minimal. The DPI is just 96 (I have to set a density of 300 to get anything decent). Anyone know how GMail does it? Thanks. Avi Pinto when you set the density to 96, doesn't it look good? when i tried it i saw that saving as jpg resulted with better quality, but larger file size

I'm trying to automatically download PDFs from a website (job posting) thanks to a IE automation in VBA and for some reason I don't manage to generate a single PDF. Doing it manualy by going on the web page and doing a 'save target as' on the pdf icon works fine and gives me a valid PDF but the automation fails. I don't understand why and hope someone will be able to give me a hint. Thanks, VeeBee Please find hereafter the code I have so far (the URLs are public and I've picked up offers at random) Private Declare Function DownloadFilefromURL Lib "urlmon" _ Alias "URLDownloadToFileA" _ (ByVal

I created a header and footer for my PDF document using PdfPTables. I have specified the headers and footers in my PdfPageEventHelper's onStartPage and onEndPage event's respectively. The issue I am facing is while adding a paragraph to my document. When I create a new Paragraph as follows: Paragraph content = new Paragraph("This is a test text"); try{ pdfDocument.add(content); } catch (DocumentException e){ e.printStackTrace(); } The content overlaps with the header. What I need is to set the pargraph between the header and the footer. Can someone tell me what do I need to do in order to put

I need a script that creates a PDF with only one sheet of my spreadsheet. I currently have a script that generates a PDF but does it with the entire file.
