Phoca PDF

Phoca PDF is a Joomla! component. It enables you to set and create PDF documents in
Joomla!.

The whole Phoca PDF framework contains:

Phoca PDF component

Phoca PDF fonts
Phoca PDF plugins

Phoca PDF component uses TCPDF library for creating PDF documents. After installing this
component you need to install and enable Phoca PDF plugin - specific plugin for specific part of
Joomla! (e.g. plugin for content). You can manage Phoca PDF plugins in standard Joomla!
Plugin Manager.

There is one font included in Phoca PDF component but you can install other Phoca PDF fonts
(fonts contain large files so they are not included in basic Phoca PDF component installation
package). Fonts are TCPDF fonts, so a lot of different font types can be installed in Phoca PDF.

Requirements:

Joomla!1.5 (stable or any later version)

PHP 5 (or any later version).

Important notice

Phoca PDF requires PHP 5 version installed on your server (because of newest TCPDF
library)
You can set e.g. footer or header information with help of HTML text editor (like FCK,
TinyMCE, JCE,...), but be aware because not all HTML tags and attributes, wich an editor
produces, are supported
HTML code of your documents should be valid
You can set different parameters for your PDF document, so after setting these
parameters you should test creating of your PDF documents because of possible conflicts
caused by setting some extra values (e.g. setting of small PDF format x large font size x
large line height, etc...)
You can set different font types for different parts of document (content, header, footer)
but be aware, because PDF stores information about font types. UTF-8 fonts are
supported and after storing information about all font types the size of PDF document can
increase markedly.
