FPDF_TPL - Introduction

This script adds the possibility to use PDF templates in a PDF document as explained in the PDF specifications 1.3 (4.9 Form XObjects). It is the basis for FPDI.

There are more advantages of using templates than just preparing FPDF to handle external documents:

  • data of templates are included in a PDF document only once
  • less memory usage
  • less generation time
  • smaller PDF files
  • recursive template support (use of templates in templates)

Examples of use (the greatest advantage of all is that a template has to be written to the PDF file only once):

  • Headers-generation
  • Grids for large tables over more pages
  • Tableheaders
  • write behind or in front of a template
  • resize a template after creation
  • and so on...
