[FIXED] how to add php gd with composer (laravel 8)

Issue

I trying to add php gd to the composer.json. I want to install php gd because of the following error :

The PHP GD extension is required, but is not installed.

The error was caused by dompdf as dompdf requires php gd to process images. I tried the following command :

composer require "ext-gd:*" --ignore-platform-reqs

Without any result even tough ext-gd was added to the composer.json. Does anyone know a solution to my problem? Thank in advance.

Solution

You can't install GD with Composer. Composer manages other PHP source that your project relies on, but GD is not PHP source -- it's a native PHP extension module like ext-curl or ext-mysqli. Adding ext-gd:* to your composer.json simply means, "This project requires the GD extension to be installed." In order to actually install that extension, you'll need to drop to your OS-level tools. If you're on a Debian-based system, that'll likely be something like:

sudo apt install php-gd

Or, for a RedHat-based system, something like:

sudo dnf install php-gd

Once done, run your composer install again and you should be good.

[FIXED] How to manage image paths in DOMpdf in laravel 9

Issue

Since I updated to Laravel 9 the images in PDFs doesn't get found anymore. Is there any trick with the image source path in Laravel 9? Till now it worked with storage_path() in the pdf's blades.

I use the package Barryvdh\DomPDF

Do anybody know, how to solve that issue?

Thank you very much

Solution

I found a way to solve this problem independently from the package: For the image source I defined a route outside of any middleware and defined a ResourceController which is returning the path. When you have several tables with image data, you have to define a route for each single table!

I could combine it easely with an authority check inside the Controller...

Blade:

<img src="{{ route('routename', [var1, var2]) }}">

web.php

Route::get('pathtoimages/{var1}/{var2}', 'ResourceController@getAuthorizedImage')->name('routename');

Controller:

public function getAuthorizedImage($var1, $var2, Request $request) 
{
    // any checks...
    $resource = ObjectImage::find($var2);

    return response()->file(Storage::path($resource->path));
    //image path saved in table column "path"
}

That's the way it works.

Stay healthy and peaceful

[FIXED] Dompdf 0.8.3 not fetching remote CSS in PHP 7.2 and CodeIgniter 3

Issue

I'm upgrading my environment to PHP7.3 (from PHP5.5) and my DomPDF new installation (from 0.6 to 0.8.3) does not fetch any external CSS files. All server-related configuration seems ok, but only relative CSS files are loaded.

What may I be missing?

I'm using the following lines to generate the PDF:

require_once("dompdf_0-8-3/autoload.inc.php");

$options = new Dompdf\Options();
$options->set(array('isPhpEnabled'          => true, 
                    'isRemoteEnabled'       => true, 
                    'isJavascriptEnabled'   => false, 
                    'isHtml5ParserEnabled'  => true, 
                    'tempDir'               => sys_get_temp_dir())
        );

$dompdf = new Dompdf\Dompdf();
$dompdf->setOptions($options);    
$dompdf->loadHtml($html);    
$dompdf->setPaper($size, $orientation);            
$dompdf->render();
$dompdf->stream($filename.".pdf");

Note: I'm using base_url() in link href's tag, inside the HTML view.

Anyone has the same problem or any suggestion on how to solve?

Solution

The problem was due to a port redirection issue in the server. Solved :) Thank you all!

[FIXED] Cakepdf not showing image for DomPdf

Issue

I am using cakepdf plugin to generate pdf in cakephp application. I am using below configuration for dompdf

Configure::write('CakePdf', [
            // 'engine' => 'CakePdf.WkHtmlToPdf',
            'engine' => 'CakePdf.DomPdf',
            'margin' => [
                'bottom' => 15,
                'left' => 50,
                'right' => 30,
                'top' => 45
            ],
            'orientation' => 'landscape',
            'download' => false,
            'isRemoteEnabled'=> true
            // 'enable-local-file-access' => true
]);

I have added 'isRemoteEnabled'=> true

For display image I have used

<img src="<?= WWW_ROOT ?>img/4dx/01/00.png" />

I have also tried by

<?php echo $this->Html->image('4dx/01/00.png', ['fullBase' => true]); ?>

Same result no any change found. $this->Html->image this way also not working for WkHtmlToPdf. I am using PHP version 7.4.x

This image perfectly showing if I use WkHtmlToPdf engine, but for dompdf I am not getting image, it's showing not found. Like below image

Solution

Engine options must be passed via the engine option, eg:

'engine' => [
    'className' => 'CakePdf.DomPdf',
    'options' => [
        'isRemoteEnabled' => true,
    ]
],

Also note that the WWW_ROOT constant holds is a filesystem path! In order to be able to access the filesystem you must configure the chroot option in recent versions of Dompdf!

'engine' => [
    'className' => 'CakePdf.DomPdf',
    'options' => [
        // allow local file access to webroot and Dompdf files
        'chroot' => [
            WWW_ROOT,
            ROOT . DS . 'vendor' . DS . 'dompdf' . DS . 'dompdf' . DS,
        ],
    ]
],

[FIXED] justify content space between not working in dompdf

I have such a report that generated by DOMPDF and created with Laravel. I want to display text, one in text-align: left, and another one in text-align: right (both in a same line). But it's not working in my code.

<div class="container m-0">

Anybody would to help me with this issue please? I've been looking for this but still couldn't find the solution. Thank u in advance

Solution

It's because of your table width.

You can do like:

<link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@5.1.3/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<div class="container m-0">
    <div class="row">
        <div class="col-12 p-0">
            <table class="w-100">
                <tr>
                    <td>
                        <span class="font-weight-bold">Hari, tanggal:</span> 
                            Kamis, 14 Oktober 2021
                    </td>
                    <td align="right">
                        Pagi / Siang / Malam
                    </td>
                </tr>
            </table>

[FIXED] Create an Html with OpenTBS

Issue

I'm using tbs '3.8.0' with OpenTBS Plugin version 1.7.6 to create a docx. In the same project I have dompdf.cls.php 468

I know that I can't convert directly a docx to a pdf, so I'm trying to use OpenTBS to create a valid input for Dompdf.

Is there a way to create an html with OpenTBS, or something that I can pass as a valid input to Dompdf ?

As now my docx is created in this way:

    $TBS = new \clsTinyButStrong;
    $TBS->Plugin(TBS_INSTALL, OPENTBS_PLUGIN);
    $TBS->LoadTemplate('path'.$fileName, OPENTBS_ALREADY_UTF8);
    $TBS->Show(OPENTBS_STRING, $fileName.docx");

Solution

TinyButStrong is a Template Engine that works with any text template. So it fits well to merge HTML pages, and it has some facilities for that. TBS can also merge XML files for example.

Meanwhile, OpenTBS is a plug-in for TinyButStrong that makes it merge Ms Office and LibreOffice documents. Ms Office and LibreOffice documents are technically Zip archives containing XML subfiles. Without OpenTBS, the TinyButStrong template engine cannot merge such documents.

So if you ant to merge HTML pages in order to convert them into PDF using Dompdf, then TinyButStrong (without the OpenTBS plug-in) can do that without problem.

See examples https://www.tinybutstrong.com/examples.php

            <tr><td align="center">Demo Data</td></tr>
        </table>

You can try like that way.

public function test()
{
    $data = "This can be accessible in view file";
    $builder = $this->viewBuilder();
    $builder->autoLayout(false);

    // set your template path [don't use .ctp]
    $builder->template('Users/add');

    //Pass data into view file
    $view = $builder->build(['data' => $data]);

    //Render view file content and store into variable
    $viewContent = $view->render();
    var_dump($viewContent);
}
