A PHP Wrapper Interface for the PDFTK command line utility (the manipulation of PDF files)

php-pdftk-toolkit

A PHP library to that creates an interface for the PDFTK (PDF-Toolkit) command line interface (http://www.pdflabs.com/tools/pdftk-the-pdf-toolkit/).

A simple PSR-0 compliant library, this project will build and run the typical command line parameters used to merge and modify PDFs.

Note: If your looking for the simpler non PSR-0 compliant module, then you can download the tagged 'v1' commit.

Example Code:

//Initiate autoloader

use Pdftk\Pdftk;

$oPdftk = new Pdftk();
$oPdftk	->setInputFile(array("filename" => $path . 'example.pdf', 'start_page' => 2))
		->setInputFile(array("filename" => $path . 'example2.pdf', 'rotation' => 90))
		->setInputFile(array("filename" => $path . 'example2.pdf', 'password' => 'password', 'alternate' => 'odd'))
		->setUserPassword("userpassword")
		->setOwnerPassword("ownerpassword")
		->setEncryptionLevel(40)
		->setOutputFile('/tmp/generated.pdf');

$oPdftk->_renderPdf();

Implemented Functionality:

• Page Rotation
• Adjustable encryption level
• Open Password Encrypted PDFs
• Create Password Encrypted PDFs
• Use implicit pages or a range
• Use alternate pages (odd or even)
• Rotate pages
• Output the PDF to the browser or a file

Installation:

• Download and install the PDFTK binary http://www.pdflabs.com/tools/pdftk-the-pdf-toolkit/
• Download this PHP library
• Update the location of the PDFTK binary within this library
• Try the examples!
• Provide Feedback :)

Requirements:

This library requires no additional software beyond a functional version of PHP 5.3 (or greater) and version 1.45 of the pdftk binary (remember to update the binary location if its not in /usr/local/bin).
