Without free as in freedom software, we cannot and will not have a free society. Your membership will help us pave a way to UserFreedom. Other features include user's choice of unit of measure, page format and margins; header and footer management; automatic page and line breaks and text justification; JPEG and PNG image support; and TrueType, Type1 and encoding support.

I've used 'P' for portrait. The SetDisplayMode function determines how the page will be displayed. You can pass it zoom and layout parameters.

Here we're using percent zoom and the viewer's default layout. Now, that we've set up a page, let's insert an image to make it look nicer and make it a link while we're at it. The SetXY function sets the position of x and y coordinates, where we want the title to appear. After that's done, we call the Cell function to print out a cell rectangle along with the text of our title. We are passing the function the following parameters; width, height, text, border, ln, align and fill.

The border is either 0 for no border or 1 for frame. For ln we are using the default value 0, 'C' to centre align the text inside it and 0 for fill. Had we used 1 for fill the rectangle would have been coloured in.

With a value of 0 we are making it transparent. You have generated a PDF. Again we are setting the x and y positions of the text, but this time we are reducing the font size with the SetFontSize function. The write function will print the text to a PDF. The parameter 5 will set the line height. This is only relevant however, if there are multiple lines of text. Here we are passing the function the name of the file and the destination, in this case 'I'. The 'I' parameter will send the output to the browser.

The example code below demonstrates how to make a header and a footer for your document. As you can see we are creating a child class of FPDF using inheritance and setting up the behaviour for both the Header and Footer functions. We then create a new object of this PDF class and add a page to our document.

The AddPage will automatically call the Header and Footer. Finally, we output it to a file called example2. This will send the file to the browser and open a dialog box, prompting the user to save the file.
