I'm trying to generate a PDF file using Zend but I keep getting errors when trying to set the font.
Here is my code:
$pdf = new Zend_Pdf();
$page = new Zend_Pdf_Page(Zend_Pdf_Page::SIZE_A4);
$font = new Zend_Pdf_Font::fontWithName(Zend_Pdf_Font::FONT_HELVETICA);
$page->setFont($font,24)
->drawText("Hello world!",72,720);
$pdf->$page;
$pdf->save("example.pdf");
And this is the error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'fontWithName' (T_STRING), expecting variable (T_VARIABLE) or '$' in /Users/pawel/Sites/Zend/application/modules/default/controllers/IndexController.php on line 83
I think you can just remove new for the font declaration:
$font = Zend_Pdf_Font::fontWithName(Zend_Pdf_Font::FONT_HELVETICA);
$style = new Zend_Pdf_Style();
$style->setFont($font, 24);
$page->setStyle($style);
fontWithName is a static function and Zend_Pdf_Font is an abstract class.
See the documentation for example.
There is another problem:
Replace
$pdf->$page;
by
$pdf->pages[] = $page;

I have to put my list data in a table in a pdf file. My data has some Arabic words. When my pdf is generated, the Arabic words don't appear. I searched and found that I need itext7.pdfcalligraph so I installed it in my app. I found this code too https://itextpdf.com/en/blog/technical-notes/displaying-text-different-languages-single-pdf-document and tried to do something similar to allow Arabic words in my table but I couldn't figure it out.
This is a trial code before I apply it to my real list:
var path2 = global::Android.OS.Environment.ExternalStorageDirectory.AbsolutePath;
filePath = System.IO.Path.Combine(path2.ToString(), "myfile2.pdf");
stream = new FileStream(filePath, FileMode.Create);
PdfWriter writer = new PdfWriter(stream);
PdfDocument pdf2 = new iText.Kernel.Pdf.PdfDocument(writer);
Document document = new Document(pdf2, PageSize.A4);
FontSet set = new FontSet();
set.AddFont("ARIAL.TTF");
document.SetFontProvider(new FontProvider(set));
document.SetProperty(Property.FONT, "Arial");
string[] sources = new string[] { "يوم","شهر 2020" };
iText.Layout.Element.Table table = new iText.Layout.Element.Table(2, false);
foreach (string source in sources)
{
Paragraph paragraph = new Paragraph();
Bidi bidi = new Bidi(source, Bidi.DirectionDefaultLeftToRight);
if (bidi.BaseLevel != 0)
{
paragraph.SetTextAlignment(iText.Layout.Properties.TextAlignment.RIGHT);
}
paragraph.Add(source);
table.AddCell(new Cell(1, 1).SetTextAlignment(iText.Layout.Properties.TextAlignment.CENTER).Add(paragraph));
}
document.Add(table);
document.Close();
I updated my code and added the arial.ttf to my assets folder . i'm getting the following exception:
System.InvalidOperationException: 'FontProvider and FontSet are empty. Cannot resolve font family name (see ElementPropertyContainer#setFontFamily) without initialized FontProvider (see RootElement#setFontProvider).'
and I still can't figure it out. any ideas?
thanks in advance

I have a similar situation for Turkish characters, and I've followed these
steps :
Create a folder under projects root folder which is : /wwwroot/Fonts
Add OpenSans-Regular.ttf under the Fonts folder
Path for font is => ../wwwroot/Fonts/OpenSans-Regular.ttf
Create font like below :
public static PdfFont CreateOpenSansRegularFont()
{
var path = "{Your absolute path for FONT}";
return PdfFontFactory.CreateFont(path, PdfEncodings.IDENTITY_H, true);
}
and use it like :
paragraph.Add(source)
.SetFont(FontFactory.CreateOpenSansRegularFont()); //set font in here
table.AddCell(new Cell(1, 1)
.SetTextAlignment(iText.Layout.Properties.TextAlignment.CENTER)
.Add(paragraph));
This is how I used font factory for Turkish characters ex: "ü,i,ç,ş,ö"
For Xamarin-Android, you could try
string documentsPath = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments);
var path = Path.Combine(documentsPath, "Fonts/Arial.ttf");
Look i fixed it in java,this may help you:
String font = "your Arabic font";
//the magic is in the next 4 lines:
PdfFontFactory.register(font);
FontProgram fontProgram = FontProgramFactory.createFont(font, true);
PdfFont f = PdfFontFactory.createFont(fontProgram, PdfEncodings.IDENTITY_H);
LanguageProcessor languageProcessor = new ArabicLigaturizer();
//and look here how i used setBaseDirection and don't use TextAlignment ,it will work without it
com.itextpdf.kernel.pdf.PdfDocument tempPdfDoc = new com.itextpdf.kernel.pdf.PdfDocument(new PdfReader(pdfFile.getPath()), TempWriter);
com.itextpdf.layout.Document TempDoc = new com.itextpdf.layout.Document(tempPdfDoc);
com.itextpdf.layout.element.Paragraph paragraph0 = new com.itextpdf.layout.element.Paragraph(languageProcessor.process("الاستماره الالكترونية--الاستماره الالكترونية--الاستماره الالكترونية--الاستماره الالكترونية"))
.setFont(f).setBaseDirection(BaseDirection.RIGHT_TO_LEFT)
.setFontSize(15);
use ZanySoft\LaravelPDF\PDF;
$mpdf = new PDF();
$mpdf->SetImportUse();
$pagecount = $mpdf->SetSourceFile(storage_path() . '/app/public/applications/test.pdf');
// test.pdf have 2 pages $pagecount have value 2.

I am getting an error Class 'Mpdf\Output\Destination' not found. I have tried below things as second argument of Output();
$mpdf->Output($new_file_name, \PDF\Output\Destination::FILE);
$mpdf->Output($new_file_name, \Mpdf\Mpdf\Output\Destination::FILE);
But, it is not working. Please help to store fetch page store as PDF file direct on directory.
ZanySoft\LaravelPDF\PDF uses mPDF in version 6.1 which does not have output destination class constants yet.
Use a plain string:
$mpdf->Output($new_file_name, 'F');
Or use composer package mpdf/mpdf in version >=7 directly.
I am using the CSharp Java target - i am parsing some Csharp code like this:
List<Token> codeTokens = new ArrayList<Token>();
List<Token> commentTokens = new ArrayList<Token>();
//CharStream cs = CharStreams.fromString(contents);
CharStream cs = CharStreams.fromPath(path);
CSharpLexer lexer = new CSharpLexer(cs);
// recognition error happens here:
List<? extends Token> tokens = lexer.getAllTokens();
List<Token> directiveTokens = new ArrayList<Token>();
ListTokenSource directiveTokenSource = new ListTokenSource(directiveTokens);
CommonTokenStream directiveTokenStream = new CommonTokenStream(directiveTokenSource, CSharpLexer.DIRECTIVE);
CSharpPreprocessorParser preprocessorParser = new CSharpPreprocessorParser(directiveTokenStream);
If my source code is ASCII encoded, it works fine. But if it's UNICODE, even if there's nothing in the file, I always get this error:
line 1:0 token recognition error at: ''
Do I need to configure my Lexer differently? The error comes from Lexer.java => getAllTokens() => nextToken() => getInterpreter().match(_input, _mode);
Again, I get this even with an empty UNICODE-encoded file - but it still contains the U+FEFF character:
$ less ApiUserInfo.cs
<U+FEFF>
ApiUserInfo.cs (END)
Thank you

I receive an XML via a web service and I am using legacy code (which uses dom4j) to perform some xml transformation. Loading/parsing the original XML into VTD-XML (VTDGen) works fine, no exceptions thrown. However, after loading the xml into dom4j, I noticed some of the element namespace declarations and attributes are re-arranged. Apparently, this re-arrangement causes VTD-XML to throw the following exception:
Exception:
Name space qualification Exception: prefixed attribute not qualified
Line Number: 101 Offset: 1827
Here is the element at this line number in the original XML:

The problem is regarding the attribute (at offset 1827, at the end of the element) in the new XML element: RR_PerformanceSite:FormVersion="1.4"
Here is what removes the exception:
1. Adding the RR_PerformanceSite xmlns declaration for this element to the root element of the XML doc.
2. Replacing new element with original element. This SEEMS to lead me to believe that the order of the attributes/ns declarations affects VTD when parsing.
NOTE: I parse the xml doc setting ns aware to 'true' with both xml docs (original and post-dom4j xml). Also, new VTD objects are created for each xml, original and post-dom4j.
I tried to put 'RR_PerformanceSite:FormVersion="1.4"' at the beginning of the element like the original but that does not remove the exception. The offset in the error message is different due to the change of location of the attribute. Does the order of the xmlns declarations affect VTD?
I have looked at the VTDGen source code and cannot figure out why this exception is being thrown.
Why would dom4j parse the new doc and vtd is unable to? Can anyone can shed some light on this?
It appears to be a bug on VTD-XML, related with namespace declaration order.
Always reproducible using the following Java code
public class SchemaTester {
/**
* #param args
*/
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
String bad = "C:/Temp/VTD_bad.xml"; // XML files to test
String good = "C:/Temp/VTD_good.xml";
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
char[] buf = new char[4*1024];
FileReader fr = new FileReader(bad);
int readed = 0;
while ((readed = fr.read(buf, 0, buf.length)) != -1) {
sb.append(buf, 0, readed);
}
fr.close();
String x = sb.toString();
//instantiate VTDGen
//and call parse
VTDGen vg = new VTDGen();
vg.setDoc(x.getBytes("UTF-8"));
vg.parse(true); // set namespace awareness to true
VTDNav vn = vg.getNav();
AutoPilot ap = new AutoPilot (vn);
ap.selectXPath("//*/#*");
int i= -1;
while((i=ap.evalXPath()) != -1) {
// i will be attr name, i+1 will be attribute value
System.out.println("\t\tAttribute ==> " + vn.toNormalizedString(i));
System.out.println("\t\tValue ==> " + vn.toNormalizedString(i+1));
}

I have a problem running the NativeProcess if I put spaces in the arguments
if (Capabilities.os.toLowerCase().indexOf("win") > -1)
{
fPath = "C:\\Windows\\System32\\cmd.exe";
args.push("/c");
args.push(scriptDir.resolvePath("helloworld.bat").nativePath);
}
file = new File(fPath);
var nativeProcessStartupInfo:NativeProcessStartupInfo = new NativeProcessStartupInfo();
nativeProcessStartupInfo.executable = file;
args.push("blah");
nativeProcessStartupInfo.arguments = args;
process = new NativeProcess();
process.start(nativeProcessStartupInfo);
in the above code, if I use
args.push("blah") everything works fine
if I use
args.push("blah blah") the program breaks as if the file wasn't found.
Seems like I'm not the only one:
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/message/159521
As one of the users their pointed out, it really seems like an awful limitation by a cutting edge SDK of 21st century. Even Alex Harui didn't have the answer there and he's known to workaround every Adobe bug:)
Any ideas?
I am using AIR 2.6 SDK in JavaScript like this, and it is working fine even for spaces.
please check your code with this one.
var file = air.File.applicationDirectory;
file = file.resolvePath("apps");
if (air.Capabilities.os.toLowerCase().indexOf("win") > -1)
{
file = file.resolvePath(appFile);
}
var nativeProcessStartupInfo = new air.NativeProcessStartupInfo();
nativeProcessStartupInfo.executable = file;
var args =new air.Vector["<String>"]();
for(i=0; i<arguments.length; i++)
args.push(arguments[i]);
nativeProcessStartupInfo.arguments = args;
process = new air.NativeProcess();
process.addEventListener(air.ProgressEvent.STANDARD_OUTPUT_DATA, onOutputData);
process.addEventListener(air.ProgressEvent.STANDARD_INPUT_PROGRESS, inputProgressListener);
process.start(nativeProcessStartupInfo);
To expand on this: The reason that this works (see post above):
var args =new air.Vector["<String>"]();
for(i=0; i<arguments.length; i++)
args.push(arguments[i]);
nativeProcessStartupInfo.arguments = args;
is that air expects that the arguments being passed to the nativeProcess are delimited by spaces. It chokes if you pass "C:\folder with spaces\myfile.doc" (and BTW for AIR a file path for windows needs to be "C:\\folder with spaces\\myfile.doc") you would need to do this:
args.push("C:\\folder");
args.push("with");
args.push("spaces\\myfile.doc");
Hence, something like this works:
var processArgs = new air.Vector["<String>"]();
var path = "C:\\folder with spaces\\myfile.doc"
var args = path.split(" ")
for (var i=0; i<args.length; i++) {
processArgs.push(args[i]);
};
UPDATE - SOLUTION
The string generated by the File object by either nativePath or resolvePath uses "\" for the path. Replace "\" with "/" and it works.
I'm having the same problem trying to call 7za.exe using NativeProcess. If you try to access various windows directories the whole thing fails horribly. Even trying to run command.exe and calling a batch file fails because you still have to try to pass a path with spaces through "arguments" on the NativeProcessStartupInfo object.
I've spent the better part of a day trying to get this to work and it will not work. Whatever happens to spaces in "arguments" totally destroys the path.
Example 7za.exe from command line:
7za.exe a MyZip.7z "D:\docs\My Games\Some Game Title\Maps\The Map.map"
This works fine. Now try that with Native Process in AIR. The AIR arguments sanitizer is FUBAR.
I have tried countless ways to put in arguments and it just fails. Interesting I can get it to spit out a zip file but with no content in the zip. I figure this is due to the first argument set finally working but then failing for the path argument.
For example:
processArgs[0] = 'a';
processArgs[1] = 'D:\apps\flash builder 4.5\project1\bin-debug\MyZip.7z';
processArgs[2] = 'D:\docs\My Games\Some Game Title\Maps\The Map.map';
For some reason this spits out a zip file named: bin-debugMyZip.7z But the zip is empty.
Whatever AIR is doing it is fraking up path strings. I've tried adding quotes around those paths in various ways. Nothing works.
I thought I could fall back on calling a batch file from this example:
http://technodesk.wordpress.com/2010/04/15/air-2-0-native-process-batch-file/
But it fails as well because it still requires the path to be passed through arguments.
Anyone have any luck calling 7z or dealing with full paths in the NativeProcess? All these little happy tutorials don't deal with real windows folder structure.
Solution that works for me - set path_with_space as "nativeProcessStartupInfo.workingDirectory" property. See example below:
public function openPdf(pathToPdf:String):void
}
var nativeProcessStartupInfo:NativeProcessStartupInfo = new NativeProcessStartupInfo();
var file:File = File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath("C:\\Windows\\System32\\cmd.exe");
nativeProcessStartupInfo.executable = file;
if (Capabilities.os.toLowerCase().indexOf("win") > -1)
{
nativeProcessStartupInfo.workingDirectory = File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath(pathToPdf).parent;
var processArgs:Vector.<String> = new Vector.<String>();
processArgs[0] = "/k";
processArgs[1] = "start";
processArgs[2] = "test.pdf";
nativeProcessStartupInfo.arguments = processArgs;
process = new NativeProcess();
process.start(nativeProcessStartupInfo);
process.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.STANDARD_OUTPUT_DATA, onOutputData);
}
args.push( '"blah blah"' );
Command line after all supports spaces if they are nested whithin "".
So if lets say you have a file argument :
'test/folder with space/blah'
Convert it to the following
'test/"folder with space"/blah'
Optionally use a filter:
I once had a problem like this in AIR, i just simply filter the text before i push it into the array. My refrence use CASA lib though
import org.casalib.util.ArrayUtil;
http://casalib.org/
/**
* Filters a string input for 'safe handling', and returns it
**/
public function stringFilter(inString:String, addPermitArr:Array = null, permitedArr:Array = null):String {
var sourceArr:Array = inString.split(''); //Splits the string input up
var outArr:Array = new Array();
if(permitedArr == null) {
permitedArr = ("abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ1234567890" as String).split('');
}
if( addPermitArr != null ) {
permitedArr = permitedArr.concat( addPermitArr );
}
for(var i:int = 0; i < sourceArr.length; i++) {
if( ArrayUtil.contains( permitedArr, sourceArr[i] ) != 0 ) { //it is allowed
outArr.push( sourceArr[i] );
}
}
return (outArr.join('') as String);
}
And just filter it via
args.push( stringFilter( 'blah blah', new Array('.') ) );
Besides, it is really bad practice to use spaces in file names / arguments, use '_' instead. This seems to be originating from linux though. (The question of spaces in file names)
This works for me on Windws7:
var Xargs:Array = String("/C#echo#a trully hacky way to do this :)#>#C:\\Users\\Benjo\\AppData\\Roaming\\com.eblagajna.eBlagajna.POS\\Local Store\\a.a").split("#");
var args:Vector.<String> = new Vector.<String>();
for (var i:int=0; i<Xargs.length; i++) {
trace("Pushing: "+Xargs[i]);
args.push(Xargs[i]);
};
NPI.arguments = args;
If your application path or parameter contains spaces, make sure to wrap it in quotes. For example path of the application has spaces C:\Program Files (x86)\Camera\Camera.exe use quotes like:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Camera\Camera.exe"
