Merge PDF files with PHP [closed]

Question

My concept is - there are 10 pdf files in a website. User can select some pdf files and then select merge to create a single pdf file which contains the selected pages. How can i do this with php?

Answer 1

Below is the php PDF merge command.

$fileArray= array("name1.pdf","name2.pdf","name3.pdf","name4.pdf");  $datadir = "save_path/"; $outputName = $datadir."merged.pdf";  $cmd = "gs -q -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=$outputName "; //Add each pdf file to the end of the command foreach($fileArray as $file) {     $cmd .= $file." "; } $result = shell_exec($cmd); 

I forgot the link from where I found it, but it works fine.

Note: You should have gs (on linux and probably Mac), or Ghostscript (on windows) installed for this to work.

Answer 2

i suggest PDFMerger from github.com, so easy like ::

include 'PDFMerger.php';  $pdf = new PDFMerger;  $pdf->addPDF('samplepdfs/one.pdf', '1, 3, 4')     ->addPDF('samplepdfs/two.pdf', '1-2')     ->addPDF('samplepdfs/three.pdf', 'all')     ->merge('file', 'samplepdfs/TEST2.pdf'); // REPLACE 'file' WITH 'browser', 'download', 'string', or 'file' for output options
