To convert a responsive Word document to PDF in PHP, you can use the PHPWord and TCPDF libraries. Here are the steps to do it:
- Install PHPWord and TCPDF libraries in your project. You can do this using Composer or by manually downloading the libraries and adding them to your project.
- Load the Word document using PHPWord. You can use the
loadTemplate()method to load a Word document template and replace placeholders with dynamic content.
php
require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';
$phpWord = new \PhpOffice\PhpWord\PhpWord();
$template = $phpWord->loadTemplate(‘path/to/word/document/template.docx’);
// Replace placeholders with dynamic content
$template->setValue(‘name’, ‘John Doe’);
$template->setValue(’email’, ‘john.doe@example.com’);
- Save the Word document as a temporary file. You can use the
save()method of the PHPWord object to save the document to a temporary file.
php
$tmpFile = tempnam(sys_get_temp_dir(), 'word_');
$template->save($tmpFile);
- Convert the Word document to PDF using TCPDF. You can use the
convert()method of the TCPDF library to convert the Word document to PDF.
php
$pdf = new TCPDF(PDF_PAGE_ORIENTATION, PDF_UNIT, PDF_PAGE_FORMAT, true, 'UTF-8', false);
$pdf->SetCreator('My Application');
$pdf->SetAuthor('John Doe');
$pdf->SetTitle('My Document');$pdf->AddPage();
$pdf->convert($tmpFile, ”, $pdf->getPage());
$pdf->Output(‘my-document.pdf’, ‘D’);
- Clean up the temporary file. You can delete the temporary file using the
unlink()function.
php
unlink($tmpFile);
