README

This is a fork of pdf417-php library by ihabunek, attempting to keep it's legacy alive as it appears to be the only open source PDF417 generation library for PHP. You can see the main differences below. It has been updated a bit mainly fixing a PHP 8.2 incompatibility issue and merging a few PRs. The idea is to eventually refactor all components and optimize the encoding algorithm. Thus, any contributions are more than welcome!

Requirements

• PHP 8.0+
• Extensions:
  • fileinfo
  • bcmath
  • dom
  • gd
  • simplexml (for running tests)

Installation

composer require leongrdic/pdf417

Usage

$pdf417 = new \Le\PDF417\PDF417;
$pdf417->setColumns(15); // optionally set the number of columns
$pdf417->setSecurityLevel(4); // optionally set the security level
$pdf417->setForceBinary(); // optionally force binary encoding

$content = 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.';
$data = $pdf417->encode($content);


$imageRenderer = new \Le\PDF417\Renderer\ImageRenderer([
    // below are default values
    'format' => 'png', // jpg, png, gif, tif, bmp or data-url
    'quality' => 90, // jpeg quality 1-100
    'scale' => 3, // elements scale 1-20
    'ratio' => 3, // height to width aspect 1-10
    'padding' => 20, // padding in px 0-50
    'color' => '#000000', // elements color hex code
    'bgColor' => '#ffffff', // background color hex code
]);

$image = ->render($data)->render($data);
$image instanceof \Intervention\Image\Image; // true


$svgRenderer = new \Le\PDF417\Renderer\SvgRenderer([
    // below are default values
    'scale' => 3, // elements scale 1-20
    'ratio' => 3, // height to width aspect 1-10
    'color' => 'black', // elements color
]);

$svg = $svgRenderer->render($data);
