QUESTION
I've seen a lot of issues where the problem was the same, but most solutions still ended with installing PDFtk or they wouldn't need the flatten function. Sadly not for me.
The issue
Using fpdm I've created an automatically filled PDF-form.
Problem is, that the values in checkboxes do not show up if the PDF is opened and printed in the browsers PDF viewer (on all tested browsers). As it will be users who will download this PDF the values should be visible no matter in what program the PDF is being viewed in.
So my idea was to flatten the PDF but fpdm needs PDFtk to flatten the PDF which cannot be installed on the server.
Also as we're using TYPO3 CMS I would like to avoid adding a complete framework (such as zend-framework).
I have tried to flatten the PDF using graphicsMagick, but first off the quality was really bad and secondly one of two pages was missing using the following command from PHP:

QUESTION
I have a form with some fields and when I submit I want to create a PDF with some info from the form. I started with FPDM library and it's great but the problem is that I can't justify the align of a big paragraph (which is really important to do) because PDFs with form don't allow a different align than center,left,right into text form fields..
Any Ideas about how to justify the paragraph with FPDM??? thanks

the solution is very easy : you need to create PDF using Adobe Acrobat but before Saving you work you need to uncheck Fast web view and Save as optimizes for Fast web view you'll find them in : Edit -> prefernces then search of Internet and uncheck "Fast web view" and search of Documents and uncheck "Save as optimizes for Fast web view" Now save it , Then go to cmd and ut this command : pdftk modele.pdf output modele2.pdf
modele.pdf is your PDF file , modele2.pdf is the file with Modification just name it with any name you want. But you need to have been already installed PDFTK tool
and now the file is ready to use .

Answered 2019-Dec-13 at 08:42Okay, as what suggested @Magnus Eriksson, I tried to do my mailing function with PHPMailer. This is a lot easier than the basic mail function, but, this hasn't solve my problem. What I discovered is that opening it in the browser doesn't show fields, but when I download it from the browser, they are still here. So it kind of solve my problem, Thanks all !
QUESTION
I am trying to override the Voyager admin panel read view with a PDF form that is filled from fields in the DB.
I achieved this through FPDM with PDFtk on localhost on a windows machine. The problem is that the web app is hosted on Azure. Is there any way to install PDFtk on the Azure side.
And if not, is there another solution to approach this situation?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
...ANSWER
Answered 2019-Nov-21 at 10:02It sounds like your real question is how to install PDFtk on Azure WebApp for Windows.
Yes, I tried to install it and run a command pdftk.exe *.pdf cat output combined.pdf
successfully.
Here is my steps below.
I downloaded an installation
PDFtk Free
from PDFtk offical website https://www.pdflabs.com/tools/pdftk-the-pdf-toolkit/.I installed it into
D:\Program Files\PDFtk
my local Windows machine and move into the directoryPDFtk\bin
.I was ready for two PDF files, such as
Google.pdf
andBing.pdf
which I got them via browse and print them as pdf in Chrome.I opened the Kudu console of my Azure WebApp, and command
cd site\wwwroot
to move towwwroot
path , and then I drag and drop these four files above in Step 2 & 3 into it.Finally, I tried to only run
pdftk.exe
to get the help information successfully, and then to runpdftk.exe *.pdf cat output combined.pdf
command and it works fine to get thecombined.pdf
file as Step 4 shown.
So if you want to invoke it in programming, you just invoke its absolute path D:\home\site\wwwroot\pdftk.exe
with its parameters from your code, it will work fine for you.
Note: Due to the Win32k.sys (User32/GDI32) Restrictions
of Azure Web App sandbox
, not every pdf conversion software can be installed on Azure WebApp as my did above. So PDFtk
is a special software which not be implemented by using GDI.

Install fpdm
PHP requires the Visual C runtime (CRT). The Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2019 is suitable for all these PHP versions, see visualstudio.microsoft.com. You MUST download the x86 CRT for PHP x86 builds and the x64 CRT for PHP x64 builds. The CRT installer supports the /quiet and /norestart command-line switches, so you can also script it.
