Re: How to center image in PDF (fpdf) using Image() in PHP....

A4 is a paper size. IIRC the standard pretty much everywhere but the US. Now, it's been a while since I used FPDF, but taking a quick look at pdfp.php, here are some properties that stand out: var $fw,$fh; //dimensions of page format in user unit var $lMargin; //left margin var $rMargin; //right margin Those are from version 1.51. Unfortunately, they are commented as 'private', so they may have changed, or actually marked private for PHP5. If so, they're easy to find- very beginning of fpdf.php. My biggest problem w/ FPDF is that the documented API is not nearly powerful enough. Luckily, you can do a lot of cool stuff using undocumented features, but that means going through a rather large class (although it is IMHO well-coded, which helps). It would be rather easy to extend the API to encompass these useful features. Hope Oliver heard that. Anyways, using those properties, plus the width of your image, you should be able to center it easily enough in a way much more portable to other page sizes than you currently have.
