Internal PDF geometry (and therefore ZendPdf as well) uses "points" (1/72 of an inch), with [0, 0] being the bottom left corner of a page. This library, which extends ZendPdf, changes this by using arbitrary units (e.g. inches or centimeters) and going from top-to-bottom, which makes much more sense from a user's persepective. Also, very basic functionality has been added, like text alignment, margins and word wrap.
SimplePdf is PSR-0, PSR-1 and PSR-2 compliant.

- PHP 5.3 or newer
- ZendPdf component, which it extends
The easiest way to install is using Composer / Packagist by adding this to you composer.json
file:
"require": {
"robbertkl/simplepdf": "dev-master"
}
Alternatively, you could manually include/autoload the appriate files from the classes/
dir.
See the examples/ dir for usage examples. Also, check out the API documentation, generated using ApiGen.
- The extension is not complete at all; only specific methods (to accommodate my needs) have been overridden to handle custom units + top-to-bottom geometry
- The word-wrap code is still pretty basic; for example, it doesn't do word-breaking or handle certain border cases
- Unfortunately, ZendPdf was kicked out of ZF2, and doesn't seem to be maintained (although it still works fine)
