This is a client for Pdficate.com - URL to PDF converter & screenshoter. The client is written in PHP.

1. Usage

In the configuration file set the PDFICATE_API_KEY constant.

define("PDFICATE_API_KEY","123.abcdefghijklmnopqrst");

In order to obtain a PDFICATE_API_KEY you have to register at https://pdficate.com/en/users/create_new/. At the moment the Pdficate is closed beta. So you need an invitation code in order to get the key.

$client = new Pdficate\Client();
$filename = $client->printToPdf("https://www.atk14.net/");

An exception with a proper message is thrown when something went wrong.

The are some optional options in the constructor.

$client = new Pdficate\Client([
  "page_size" => "A4", // A4, A3, Letter

  "margin_top" => "2cm",
  "margin_right" => "2cm",
  "margin_bottom" => "2cm",
  "margin_left" => "2cm",

  "delay" => 0, // ms, the delay before printing to ensure that the page is fully loaded, intended for pages with a JS loading effect and so on
]);

There is also a screenshoter.

$screenshoter = new Pdficate\Client\Screenshoter([
  "width" => 1024,
  "height" => 768,

  // the offset setting has no effect on the final image size specified in the width and height options
  "offset_top" => 0,
  "offset_right" => 0,
  "offset_bottom" => 0,
  "offset_left" => 0,
  
  "delay" => 0, // ms, the delay before printing to ensure that the page is fully loaded, intended for pages with a JS loading effect and so on

  "image_format" => "jpeg", // "png", "jpeg"
]);
$filename = $screenshoter->screenshot("https://www.atk14.net");
