1FPDI - Free PDF Document Importer 2================================= 3 4[](https://packagist.org/packages/setasign/fpdi) [](https://packagist.org/packages/setasign/fpdi) [](https://packagist.org/packages/setasign/fpdi) [](https://packagist.org/packages/setasign/fpdi) 5 6A clone of [FPDI](https://www.setasign.com/fpdi) for GitHub/[Composer](https://packagist.org/packages/setasign/fpdi). 7 8FPDI is a collection of PHP classes facilitating developers to read pages from existing PDF documents and use them as templates in FPDF, which was developed by Olivier Plathey. Apart from a copy of FPDF, FPDI does not require any special PHP extensions. 9 10## Installation with [Composer](https://packagist.org/packages/setasign/fpdi) 11 12FPDI is an add-on for [FPDF](http://fpdf.org/). Additionally FPDI can be used with [TCPDF](http://www.tcpdf.org/). 13For completion we added a [FPDF repository](https://github.com/Setasign/FPDF) which simply clones the offical releases. 14 15This package comes without any dependency configuration in the composer.json file. It's up to you to load the desired package as described below. 16 17A basic installation via Composer could be done this way: 18 19```bash 20$ composer require setasign/fpdi:1.6.2 21``` 22 23or you can include the following in your composer.json file: 24 25```json 26{ 27 "require": { 28 "setasign/fpdi": "1.6.2" 29 } 30} 31``` 32 33### Evaluate Dependencies Automatically 34 35To load dependencies automatically we prepared kind of metadata packages. To use FPDI with FPDF use [this](https://github.com/Setasign/FPDI-FPDF) package: 36 37```json 38{ 39 "require": { 40 "setasign/fpdi-fpdf": "1.6.2" 41 } 42} 43``` 44 45For TCPDF use [this](https://github.com/Setasign/FPDI-TCPDF): 46 47```json 48{ 49 "require": { 50 "setasign/fpdi-tcpdf": "1.6.2" 51 } 52} 53``` 54 55### Manual Dependencies 56 57To support both FPDF and TCPDF its up to you to load the preferred package before the classes of FPDI are loaded. By default FPDI will extend FPDF. If the TCPDF class exists, a new FPDF class will be created which will extend TCPDF while FPDI will extend this. 58 59To use FPDI with FPDF include following in your composer.json file: 60 61```json 62{ 63 "require": { 64 "setasign/fpdf": "1.8", 65 "setasign/fpdi": "1.6.2" 66 } 67} 68``` 69 70If you are using TCPDF, your have to update your composer.json respectively to: 71 72```json 73{ 74 "require": { 75 "tecnickcom/tcpdf": "6.2.13", 76 "setasign/fpdi": "1.6.2" 77 } 78} 79``` 80 81Additionally you have to trigger composers autoloader for the TCPDF class before you are initiating FPDI: 82 83```php 84class_exists('TCPDF', true); // trigger Composers autoloader to load the TCPDF class 85$pdf = new FPDI(); 86``` 87 88
