One thing I came across, and hope is useful to someone, is the following. If you're looking to use the pdf_stringwidth() function, and expecting it to give you the proper results when trying to center or position the text, try to avoid using this line in your code: <? pdf_set_parameter($pdf, "textformat", "utf8"); ?> I discovered (after much hair-pulling of what remains of my hair) that this line of code increases the amount of space between characters by roughly 100%. Removing this line of code made the text on my generated PDF's significantly tighter and more appealing. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.pdf-stringwidth.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+58638 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58638&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58638&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58638&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58638&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58638&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58638&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58638&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+58638&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
