I am using java port of fpdf. I am encountering fowwlowing errors.
1).When i call multicell 2 times every time the text is printed on a new line.
MultiCell(0, 1, "abcd", currentBorders, Alignment.LEFT, false); //prints on one line
MultiCell(0, 1, "efg", currentBorders, Alignment.LEFT, false); //prints on next line
I want that there is no line break after the call to multicell. How can i do it?
2)If i do the following thing then some part of my string gets printed on one line and some on next.
MultiCell(getStringWidth(myString), 1, myStringcurrentBorders, Alignment.LEFT, false);
3)If i do the following thing then there are many blank lines after the line on which myString is printed. It works correctly if i use one 1 ans second parameter
MultiCell(0, myFontSize, "123456", currentBorders, Alignment.LEFT, false);
What is the problem?
I would get the current Y
position before writing the MultiCell
and then move the "cursor" back to that Y
position after the MultiCell
generation. Like this:
$current_y = $pdf->GetY();
$current_x = $pdf->GetX();
$cell_width = 50;
MultiCell($cell_width, 1, "abcd", currentBorders, Alignment.LEFT, false);
$pdf->SetXY($current_x + $cell_width, $current_y);
$current_x = $pdf->GetX();
MultiCell($cell_width, 1, "abcd", currentBorders, Alignment.LEFT, false);
Something like that.
I created a new method called MultiAlignCell
. It takes the same parameters as MultiCell
but with the added ln
field from Cell
. You can add it to your extended FPDF
class.
/**
* MultiCell with alignment as in Cell.
* @param float $w
* @param float $h
* @param string $text
* @param mixed $border
* @param int $ln
* @param string $align
* @param boolean $fill
*/
private function MultiAlignCell($w,$h,$text,$border=0,$ln=0,$align='L',$fill=false)
{
// Store reset values for (x,y) positions
$x = $this->GetX() + $w;
$y = $this->GetY();
// Make a call to FPDF's MultiCell
$this->MultiCell($w,$h,$text,$border,$align,$fill);
// Reset the line position to the right, like in Cell
if( $ln==0 )
{
$this->SetXY($x,$y);
}
}
I have modified the MultiCell method, it works as the above answer, and you can use the method in the same way as the Cell method.
function MultiCell($w, $h, $txt, $border=0, $ln=0, $align='J', $fill=false)
{
// Custom Tomaz Ahlin
if($ln == 0) {
$current_y = $this->GetY();
$current_x = $this->GetX();
}
// Output text with automatic or explicit line breaks
$cw = &$this->CurrentFont['cw'];
