Hi warriors!

Does anyone know how to brand PDF's on a linux server with some perl/ruby/php script?

I have bunch 1000's of PDF's and need to somehow script this task - on a linux server.

Any suggestions are welcome. Thank you.

I have a script that I paid to have developed as a Wordpress "plugin.". Works pretty good.

I'll sell you a copy, but I can't let it go cheap. PDF on linux takes some thinking outside the box as most PDF generating scripts "break" the layout.

PM me if you're interested.

I have helped a few clients running Apache web servers to install an open source PDF module called hxxp://www.fpdf.org/

Quote:
FPDF is a PHP class which allows to generate PDF files with pure PHP, that is to say without using the PDFlib library. F from FPDF stands for Free: you may use it for any kind of usage and modify it to suit your needs.
FPDF has other advantages: high level functions. Here is a list of its main features:
  • Choice of measure unit, page format and margins
  • Page header and footer management
  • Automatic page break
  • Automatic line break and text justification
  • Image support (JPEG, PNG and GIF)
  • Colors
  • Links
  • TrueType, Type1 and encoding support
  • Page compression
FPDF requires no extension (except zlib to activate compression and GD for GIF support). It works with PHP 4 and PHP 5 (the latest version requires at least PHP 4.3.10).
Currently we use inputs from the membership database to create invoices and receipts on demand. There is a lot you can customize about the layout and appearance of the final PDF output. We insert our logo and contact information as part of the script template. Let me know if this helps. We liked it because it was free and suited our purposes well. Thanks!

Wow, this is great. I've overlooked this one...

I'll have a look and see how it goes.

Thank you!

You can create them quite painlessly on the fly also, using FOP.

Apache FOP

I say quite painlessly, XSL is another story altogether... :-)
