background-image

    I’ve found this code to include a background-image :

    class MYPDF extends TCPDF {
	public function Header() {
		$bMargin = $this->getBreakMargin();
		$auto_page_break = $this->AutoPageBreak;
		$this->SetAutoPageBreak(false, 0);
		$img_file = K_PATH_IMAGES.'background.jpg';
		$this->Image($img_file, 0, 0, 210, 297, '', '', '', false, 300, '', false, false, 0);
		$this->SetAutoPageBreak($auto_page_break, $bMargin);
		$this->setPageMark();
	}
}

$pdf = new MYPDF(PDF_PAGE_ORIENTATION, PDF_UNIT, PDF_PAGE_FORMAT, true, 'UTF-8', false);

    I’ve paste these lines into the wp-post-to-pdf.php file > function generate_pdf_file after the lines :

    if(!class_exists('TCPDF'))				{ require_once(WPPT0PDF_PATH . '/tcpdf/tcpdf.php'); }
            if(!class_exists('simple_html_dom'))	{ require_once(WPPT0PDF_PATH . '/simplehtmldom/simple-html-dom.php');}

    But then the script stops working.
    I know alot of people want a background image for the generated PDF, could you please post an example ?

    Kind regards, Twan

    never mind, already figured it out :

    I’ve added the following line

    if(!class_exists('MYPDF'))				{ require_once(WPPT0PDF_PATH . '/tcpdf/background.php'); }

    after :

    if(!class_exists('TCPDF'))				{ require_once(WPPT0PDF_PATH . '/tcpdf/tcpdf.php'); }

    and placed these lines in a new file background.php located in the tcpdf folder :

    <?php
// Extend the TCPDF class to create custom Header and Footer
class MYPDF extends TCPDF {
    //Page header
    public function Header() {
        // get the current page break margin
        $bMargin = $this->getBreakMargin();
        // get current auto-page-break mode
        $auto_page_break = $this->AutoPageBreak;
        // disable auto-page-break
        $this->SetAutoPageBreak(false, 0);
        // set bacground image
		$img_file = WPPT0PDF_PATH .'/tcpdf/images/background.jpg';
        $this->Image($img_file, 0, 0, 210, 297, '', '', '', false, 300, '', false, false, 0);
        // restore auto-page-break status
        $this->SetAutoPageBreak($auto_page_break, $bMargin);
        // set the starting point for the page content
        $this->setPageMark();
    }
}
?>

    The image file is 1181px by 1772px and located in the tcpfg/images folder

    Could you provide me the complete file wp-post-to-pdf.php ???

    I am following your steps but my website get me a 500 error …

    I saw some parenthesis who are not in my original file and that you show in your explanations… might miss something…
