Detailed Description

pdflib.php - Moodle PDF library

We currently use the TCPDF library by Nicola Asuni.

The default location for fonts that are included with TCPDF is lib/tcpdf/fonts/. If PDF_CUSTOM_FONT_PATH exists, this directory will be used instead of lib/tcpdf/fonts/, the default location is $CFG->dataroot.'/fonts/'.

You should always copy all fonts from lib/tcpdf/fonts/ to your PDF_CUSTOM_FONT_PATH and then add extra fonts. Alternatively you may download all TCPDF fonts from http://www.tcpdf.org/download.php and extract them to PDF_CUSTOM_FONT_PATH directory.

You can specify your own default font family in config.php by defining PDF_DEFAULT_FONT constant there.

If you want to add True Type fonts such as "Arial Unicode MS", you need to create a simple script and then execute it, it should add new file to your fonts directory: <?php require('config.php'); require_once($CFG->libdir . '/pdflib.php'); TCPDF_FONTS::addTTFfont('/full_path_to/ARIALUNI.TTF', 'TrueTypeUnicode'); This script will convert the TTF file to format compatible with TCPDF.

Please note you need to have appropriate license to use the font files on your server!

Example usage: $doc = new pdf; $doc->setPrintHeader(false); $doc->setPrintFooter(false); $doc->AddPage(); $doc->Write(5, 'Hello World!'); $doc->Output();
