Extend Existing PDFs

Intro

There is the possibility to load existing PDF documents and use them as template. Under the hood pdfviewhelpers uses FPDI to import PDF documents as template. You must include the static TypoScript template of the extension in order to make this example work.

TypoScript

pdfpage = PAGE
pdfpage {
	10 = FLUIDTEMPLATE
	10 {
		file = EXT:pdfviewhelpers/Resources/Public/Examples/ExtendExistingPDFs/Template.html
	}
	# ensure there is no other output apart from the pdf
	# take a look at the generated pdf file (end!) in a text editor to verify there is no other output
	# like warnings, error messages or html code
	config {
		disableAllHeaderCode = 1
		xhtml_cleaning = 0
		admPanel = 0
	}
}
