PDF stamping tool... in Chinese?!

[web directory]

I currently use a pdf stamping tool on our server that currently stamp... well... pdfs! It is limited to stamping only in English, or should I say Western, characters. I am looking for stamping tool that will stamp in Chinese, Traditional Chinese Big Five, to be exact. Anyone know of one?

The one I currently use is on an Apache/Linux server and it is from pdf-tools.com.

That's a very tough one.

Maybe you could try a search at sf.net

There are many pdf related projects. Try to find something that uses utf encoding

Chris, try this

http://www.fpdf.org/

or better this php5 version (has support for utf-8):
http://tcpdf.sourceforge.net/

Thanks Guys!

FPDF looks promising seeing as the server is only php4...

I will keep you posted.

actually both scripts are using the same functions... I use both of them, If you're using fpdf there is also a extension to import existing pdf's:

Is this for importing a pdf that I want to add text too?

Does FPDF have the ability to password protect a pdf?

yes check this demo: http://www.finalwebsites.com/demos/fpdf_sidn_contract.php

no...

this extension will password protect the file: http://www.fpdf.de/downloads/addons/37/

I use the new version (TCPDF) because I need to use > 10 diff. languages (incl. the czech lang) if you can build the appl. for one language which is supported by fpdf then use this version...

Thanks Olaf, I will have to try it out. I see there is an addition for concatinating pdfs too; I will need this too.

Is there an add-on that stamps onto existing pdfs?

I see you actually mentioned it at the top of the thread; guess it would help if I read it through again! LOL

hmmm... I am having no luck using the fpdi class to stamp in chinese, and I am not sure if I am going to be able to?! Any ideas?

the other script works fine? (the one I send you)

Yeah the other one seems to work fine, but I need to stamp chinese onto an imported pdf (an existing chinese pdf).

please send me the pdf file...

I think I have it working...? I altered the class fpdf_tpl to extend PDF_Chinese instead of fpdf because the PDF_Chinese extends the fpdf anyway. This should be ok; this way the fpdi class will inherit both the fpdf and the PDF_Chinese methods.

I will keep you posted...

check this (working) example:

Code:

<?php
class SIDN_contract extends fpdi {


// SNIPPED CODE 

// this method is a group of functions (from fpdi) to open/import an existing pdf file
function import_pdf() {
$this->setSourceFile(ORIG_SIDN_PDF);
$page = $this->ImportPage(1);
$this->AddPage();
$this->useTemplate($page);
}
// these three fpdf function create a text cell at specified position
function create_text_field($string, $x, $y, $width, $height = 2) {
$this->SetXY($x,$y);
$this->Setfont("Arial","",10);
$this->Cell($width, $height, $string, 0, 0, "");
}
// and at least the output command, the second header is used to resolve cache problems
function output_pdf() {
$file_name = trim($this->domain).".pdf";
if ($this->preview_pdf == "yes") {
header("Content-type: application/pdf");
header ("Cache-control: private"); 
$this->Output($file_name, "I");
} else {
$this->Output($file_name);
$this->message[] = $this->message_strings(14);
}
}
}
