Step 2: Enable the Bundle

Then, enable the bundle by adding the following line in the app/AppKernel.php file of your project:

// app/AppKernel.php
class AppKernel extends Kernel

    public function registerBundles()
    {
        $bundles = [
            // ...
            new AC\TcpdfBundle\ACTcpdfBundle(),
        ];

        // ...
    }
}

$myPdf->toString();

MultiCell Helper

AC\TcpdfBundle\Pdf\PdfBuilder::addMultiCellRow($cells, $sameHeight, $nobr) allow you to build complex tables, based on MultiCell.

$cells is a multidimensional array. Each cell (array) contains :

• The data (text or html)
• The options. Available options :
• height Cell height
• width Cell width
• border Draw the cell borders. Allowed values : 0 or 1. Default = 0
• align Horz alignment. Allowed values : 'L' (left), 'C' (center), 'R' (right) or 'J' (justify). Default = 'T'
• valign Vert alignment. Allowed values 'T' (top), 'M' (middle) or 'B' (bottom). Default = 'T'
• fill Indicates if the cell background must be painted. true or false. Default = false
• is_html Indicate if the data is html. See TCDPF doc for the supported tags. Default = false

$sameHeight If set to true all the row cells have the same height. Default = false.

$nobr If set to true the row is not break across 2 pages. Default = false.

Example

$data = [
  ['foo' => 'AAA', 'bar' => 123, 'baz' => '<b>text<b>'],
  ['foo' => 'BBB', 'bar' => 456, 'baz' => '<a href="https://domain.td">link</a>'],
  ['foo' => 'CCC', 'bar' => 789, 'baz' => '<ul><li>line 1</li><li>line 2</li></ul>'],
];

foreach ($data as $row) {
    $pdf->addRowCell([
      [$row['foo'], ['with' => 30]],
      [$row['bar'], ['width' => 40, 'align' => 'R']],
      [$row['baz'], ['width' => 50, 'is_html' => true]],
    ]);
}
