Implementation steps

Open a view where PDF file is to be generated Enable PDF Builder integration for this view Goto View Properties tab Open Components pane Check Pdf Builder Click on Save button at the bottom of page In the view, create a new object of PDF class $pdf = new PDF('path', 'paperSize', 'orientation'); path is the folder path where generated pdf will be stored, this folder should have write access paperSize can have values 'letter', 'legal', 'ledger', 'A0', 'A1', 'A2', 'A3', 'A4', 'A5', 'letter' is default orientation can have values 'portrait' or 'landscape', 'portrait' is default Functions Available Text Functions SetFontSize(fontSize): Sets default font size for text, eg: $pdf->SetFontSize(12); AddFont(fontFamily): Adds a font family and returns the handle eg: $helveticaBold = $pdf->AddFont('Helvetica-Bold'); Valid fontnames are: 'Times-Roman', 'Helvetica', 'Courier', 'Symbol', 'Times-Bold', 'Helvetica-Bold', 'Courier-Bold', 'ZapfDingbats', 'Times-Italic', 'Helvetica-Oblique', 'Courier-Oblique', 'Times-BoldItalic', 'Helvetica-BoldOblique', 'Courier-BoldOblique' SetText(handle, text): Changes the text added previously at given handle SetTextFont(handle, fontSize, fontHandle): Changes the font of the text added previously at given handle SetUnits(units, sizeW=0, sizeH=0): Sets unit to specify sizes in pdf units can have values inch, cm, point if units = point then define sizeW and sizeH if they are different than paper size AddText(x, y, text, fontSize, fontNameHandle): Adds the text in pdf 'x' is the value of x co-ordinate from left 'y' is the value of y co-ordinate from bottom 'text' is the text to be added 'fontSize' is the size of font for this text 'fontNameHandle' is the handle of the added font used for this text AddTextWrap(x, y, text, maxWidth, lineHeight, fontSize, fontNameHandle): Adds the text in pdf in wraped format (on multiple lines) 'x' is the value of x co-ordinate from left 'y' is the value of y co-ordinate from bottom 'text' is the text to be added 'maxWidth' is the number of maximum characters displayed on each line 'lineHeight' is the line height for each line 'fontSize' is the size of font for this text 'fontNameHandle' is the handle of the added font used for this text GetTextWrapLineCount(text, maxWidth, lineHeight, fontSize, fontNameHandle): Returns the number lines needed for a text if wrapped 'Text' is the text to be added 'maxWidth' is the number of maximum characters displayed on each line 'lineHeight' is the line height for each line 'fontSize' is the size of font for this text 'fontNameHandle' is the handle of the added font used for this text Other Functions DrawLine(x1, y1, x2, y2, thickness, drawColor); 'x1' is the distance of starting point of line from left 'y1' is the distance of starting point of line from bottom 'x2' is the distance of end point of line from left 'y2' is the distance of end point of line from bottom 'thickness' is the thickness of line 'drawColor' is the color of line DrawRectangle(x, y, width, height, thickness, borderColor, fillColor); 'x' is the distance of starting point of rectangle from left 'y' is the distance of starting point of rectangle from bottom 'width' of rectangle 'height' of rectangle 'thickness' is the thickness of borders of rectangle 'borderColor' is the color of borders of rectangle 'fillColor' is the color of inside area of rectangle AddPage(paperSize, orientation); paperSize can have values 'letter', 'legal', 'ledger', 'A0', 'A1', 'A2', 'A3', 'A4', 'A5', 'letter' is default orientation can have values 'portrait' or 'landscape', 'portrait' is default AddImageResource(imagePath): Adds the image resource of image given at 'imagePath' returns the handle for that image AddImage(handle, left, bottom, width, height): Adds the image to the pdf given handle for that image handle is the handle of image resource returned by function AddImageResource left is the distance of starting point of image from left bottom is the distance of starting point of image from bottom 'width' of image 'height' of image Generating Output Render(outputfilename) eg: $pdf->Render("outputfilename"); outputfilename is the pdf file name with full path and extention .pdf
