Image and Text PDF Large Animated GIF Text Nodes Tutorial

The “PDF Large Animated GIF” work around of yesterday’s Image and Text PDF Large Animated GIF Tutorial got us into new territory, that being …

Fpdf use of AddPage method for pages that aren’t the first in the case of Animated GIFs all within the one window collecting Text Node positions

… where in its stage 2 look a single animated GIF blinks as the background in the single window, subtly different to …

Fpdf use of AddPage method for pages that aren’t the first in the case of images that are not Animated GIFs take place in fresh PHP code run windows collecting Text Node positions

… and the latter’s stage 2 look allow for individual page text node positioning, lost to the first scenario’s workings, alas. But to make up for this, a little, for the first scenario, rather than restrict functionality to …

• yesterday’s scenario of any text nodes only existing (actually, yesterday, buggily, only on the last Animated GIF PDF slide) … to, today, still the default, to being on the first Animated GIF PDF slide … and as of today, also, mechanisms to …
• 1. text node repeats allowed through all the Animated GIF PDF slides (via ++ prefixing at the prompt box)
  2. our first toe tipping into the templatization ideas for those text node wording in PDF multiple page scenarios (whether Animated GIF or not) … that being {Page} substitutions to PDF page/slide number … all text node determinations now being run through a new PHP function as per …

About yesterday’s Image and Text PDF Animated GIF Tutorial …

If there’s something strange
In your neighborhood
Who you gonna call?
Well … the thing is …

If there’s something weird
And it don’t look good
Who you gonna call?
Okay … maybe … but just consider …

When there’s something LARGE
In the DOLLAR POST woooooooorrrrlllllddd
Who you gonna call?
All things considered we’re recommending php://stdin

Yes, $_POST[] can fail you with a large animated GIF, we discovered, but we got around some of the issues …

<?php

Previous relevant Image and Text PDF Undo Emoji Tutorial is shown below.

Continuing on from yesterday’s Image and Text Multiple PDF Book Standing Order Tutorial and enhancing the functionality of Image and Text PDF Undo Tutorial is the ability to …

• undo an emoji piece of text … via …
• image map

… software integration. Why is this an issue? Well, we couldn’t get Fpdf to be handling emojis as pieces of text, and you may recall from the tutorial at that last link, that we started to use the great HTML5 canvas element to treat the emojis as graphics contained in the background image.

And so today’s work is to augment a happily working “pure text” Undo set of logics that utilized some “high z-index” div cross elements with a new …

• image (as an HTML img element overlayed) … linked to an associated …
• image map … initially devoid of any but an ineffective default area subelement … but along the way …
• area elements are added to the image map innerHTML flagged in their alt attributes as to whether on an onlick a …
• snapshot data URI of the canvas (before the emoji was added) should be swung into play so as to ignore the emoji work ahead of the snapshot

… best seen in the changed pdfimageplustext.php Image and Text PDF PHP web application you can also try below, in a pared down “awkward interaction” mode of use showing you that $_GET[] arguments are catered for but not used with the real user interaction code talked about above.

It would be nice to think that the day before yesterday’s Image and Text Multiple PDF Goes Per Day Tutorial code’s Standing Order logic would handle the PDF Book scenario, but that would be a big ask for all these scenarios …

• transferring Standing Order logic for second (2 of ?) and on pages to new window.localStorage entries … as well as …
• flagging the page 1 of ? parent window.localStorage entry as such … so that …
• transferring on that Standing Order logic above on the user selecting to access the Standing Order 1 of ? window.localStorage entry as above

But we dreamed … at least ahead of the three minutes it took to test this out. And then coding it, we were surprised by the trickiness with “transferring” aspects, in our usual way trying not to interfere with what was working earlier, by introducing new variables and if and while clauses to particularize our logics for these new requirements, both from …

• the viewpoint of the page 1 of ? instigator … and …
• subsequent PDF Book page followers

Previous relevant Image and Text Multiple PDF Relative URL Tutorial is shown below.

There are two main ways with the Image and Text Nodes PDF Creator web application of yesterday’s Image and Text Multiple PDF Files Tutorial, to define the image part, those being …

• browse via the HTML5 File API methodologies … and …
• define a relative URL

… and the natural follow up to that first way allowing for multiple PDF File creation(s), is to allow it for the relative URL way. We do that by allowing the wildcards * or ? appear in the URLspec and then call into play the brilliant PHP glob means by which that can be transformed into a list of relative URL single images, with their one to one correspondence as the base graphics for any of our PDF Single Page creations.

<?php

if (isset($_GET['wildcard'])) {
if (strlen($_GET['wildcard']) > 0) {
$htmlis='';
foreach (glob(str_replace('+',' ',urldecode($_GET['wildcard']))) as $filename) {
if ($htmlis == '') {
$udirnameprebimg=$filename;
$pjbit='data:image/' . str_replace('jpg','jpeg',strtolower(explode('.',$udirnameprebimg)[-1 + sizeof(explode('.',$udirnameprebimg))])) . ';base64,' . base64_encode(file_get_contents($udirnameprebimg));
$htmlis='<html><body onload=" var j=0; parent.predurip(' . "'" . $pjbit . "'" . '); if (1 == 1) { j++; } parent.document.getElementById(' . "'" . 'iurl' . "'" .

Previous relevant Image and Text PDF CSS Colour Blending Tutorial is shown below.

Around here our …

• desire not to rock “the apple cart” as far as having “things work” … on behalf of …
• making things be more aesthetically pleasing

… does not compute! We, first and foremost, are interested in software working, rather than looking good. And so, in our current Image and Text Nodes PDF Creator web application project, we are ready to persevere with the ugliness of the top left part of our web application design, and not mess around with the modular workings of the HTML iframe that handles our local file image browsing functionality.

But, even so, there are mild CSS “colour blending” tweaks we can make to make this top left part of yesterday’s Image and Text PDF Reviewed Standing Order Tutorial‘s web application look more “designer”, involving …

Javascript DOM (document.body onload event logic) methodology to overlay over HTML iframe “framing” ugliness …

Previous relevant Image and Text PDF Reviewed Standing Order Tutorial is shown below.

With the same sentiment as yesterday’s Image and Text PDF Undo Tutorial, especially its “all but” scenario thinking for Undo functionality usefulness, we’ve realized there could be great improvements in functionality scope by combining …

• Standing Order PDF Creation … with …
• fully automated phase … with …
• additional “review” user interactions allowed at the end

All of this being stage 2 functionality, this is not as hard to arrange as you might think. It’s the same as fully automated mode just with the last click ignored programmatically …


lsnames=lsval.split('@!@');
if (sofarmode == 4) {
if (eval('' + lsnames.length) > 2) {
if (lsnames[eval(-1 + lsnames.length)].indexOf('!!!') == 0) {
lsval=lsval.replace('@!@' + lsnames[eval(-1 + lsnames.length)], '');
lsnames=lsval.split('@!@');
}
}
sofarmode=3;
}


… to allow for the re-entry of default user interaction modus operandi, at the end.

Additionally, we shore up some non DATE_ATOM date sequencing Standing Order weaknesses in the changed pdfimageplustext.php Image and Text PDF (now with “fourth draft” user interaction logic) PHP web application you can also try below, in a pared down “awkward interaction” mode of use showing you that $_GET[] arguments are catered for but not used with the real user interaction code talked about above.

Previous relevant Image and Text PDF Undo Tutorial is shown below.

There are lots of reasons “Undo” types of functionalities are good when human user interaction determines the content of the PDFs that get created in our current Image and Text Nodes PDF Creation project. Some are …

• mistakes
• “all but” scenarios … now apt as we have some “repeated content” and/or “datetime sequence” entry arrangements possible

And so we add “onclick” and “onmouseover” and “onmouseout” event intelligence …

<?php echo ”

document.getElementById('blob').innerHTML+='<div onmouseover=\" blobover(this); \" onmouseout=\" blobout(this);\" onclick=\" blobdel(this.id); \" title=\"\" id=\"bpdftext' + coordn + '\" style=\"position:absolute;left:' + x + 'px;top:' + y + 'px;background-color:red;z-index:200;\">x</div>';

“; ?>

… to those new click position flagging div elements introduced yesterday …


function blobover(ini) {
event.target.style.backgroundColor='orange';
}

function blobout(ini) {
event.target.style.backgroundColor='red';
}

function blobdel(inid) {
inid='' + event.target.id;
event.stopPropagation();
if (document.getElementById(inid).title.indexOf('Sorry') != 0) {
document.getElementById(inid.substring(1)).value='';
document.getElementById(inid).style.backgroundColor='cyan';
document.getElementById(inid).title=document.getElementById(inid).title.replace('Delete ', 'Deleted ');
}
}


Also adding to yesterday’s Image and Text PDF Standing Orders Tutorial‘s progress we nuance that DATE_ATOM type entry initial offset additional functionality so in an example like the Monday one below …


DATE_AToM-2Monday +=1 x 5


1. considers just the date part of a DateTime::ATOM timestamp for now in the current timezone
2. subtract 2 days from that timestamp
3. if not Monday subtract single days until a Monday DateTime::COOKIE timestamp is detected to determine
4. clicked position filled with date part of DateTime::ATOM timestamp string
5. next 4 clicks get that timestamp plus 1 day as the DateTime::ATOM timestamp string shown at the clicked position

Why? Well, it can free the user of this Image and Text Nodes PDF Creation web application using it to fill in a timesheet, for instance, from worrying (less) about which day of the week they fill it out using a Standing Order arrangement they create and start using in the changed pdfimageplustext.php Image and Text PDF (now with “fourth draft” user interaction logic) PHP web application you can also try below, in a pared down “awkward interaction” mode of use showing you that $_GET[] arguments are catered for but not used with the real user interaction code talked about above.

Regarding DATE_ATOM type entry initial offset additional functionality we realized its importance when thinking about future “standing order” (maybe regarding timesheet) ideas into the future. You may fill out the PDF days ahead of it being “apt”, and so, allowing for “offset steps in time” different to the time of execution might be vital for “automation ease” later on.

Take a look at how this was achieved by examining the changed pdfimageplustext.php Image and Text PDF (now with “fourth draft” user interaction logic) PHP web application you can also try below, in a pared down “awkward interaction” mode of use showing you that $_GET[] arguments are catered for but not used with the real user interaction code talked about above.

Previous relevant Image and Text PDF Timesheet Emojis Tutorial is shown below.

Are emojis …

• text … or …
• graphics  ?

We normally think “text”, but today’s scenario, on top of the progress with yesterday’s Image and Text PDF Timesheet Value Sequences Tutorial harkens back to software written before emojis were invented, that being the FPDF PHP library. No matter what anybody writes about PHP ways to try to get FPDF to create emojis in a PDF you need to involve a font that can handle unicode data, and that would involve a big ttf file to handle all the emoji characters in the woooooorrrrrllllldddd. Quite an ask?!

And yet, we revisited this old chestnut for half a day trying things until the solution dawned. Start thinking of an emoji as “graphics”. And so we can hook into the “Image” base for our PDF creation in thinking this way. And what conduit can help place an “emoji graphic” into an …

• image  _? … the best conduit since HTML5, we think is the HTML …
• canvas

Once starting to think more clearly we developed this Javascript function to help here …


function canvasize(inx, iny, inemojis) {
var lineHeight=eval('' + document.getElementById('tsiz').value);
if (document.getElementById('tdir').value.toUpperCase().substring(0,1) == 'U') {
ctx.save();
ctx.translate(inx, iny);
ctx.rotate(-Math.PI / 2);
ctx.textAlign = 'left';
ctx.fillText(inemojis, 0, lineHeight / 2);
ctx.restore();
} else if (document.getElementById('tdir').value.toUpperCase().substring(0,1) == 'D') {
ctx.save();
ctx.translate(inx, iny);
ctx.rotate(Math.PI / 2);
ctx.textAlign = 'left';
ctx.fillText(inemojis, 0, lineHeight / 2);
ctx.restore();
} else if (document.getElementById('tdir').value.toUpperCase().substring(0,1) == 'L') {
ctx.save();
ctx.translate(inx, iny);
ctx.rotate(Math.PI / 1);
ctx.textAlign = 'left';
ctx.fillText(inemojis, 0, lineHeight / 2);
ctx.restore();
} else if (document.getElementById('trot').value.toUpperCase().substring(0,1) != '0') {
ctx.save();
ctx.translate(inx, iny);
ctx.rotate(eval(eval('' + document.getElementById('trot').value) * Math.PI / 180.0));
ctx.textAlign = 'left';
ctx.fillText(inemojis, 0, lineHeight / 2);
ctx.restore();
} else if (document.getElementById('tdir').value.toUpperCase().substring(0,1) == 'R') {
ctx.fillText(inemojis, inx, iny);
} else {
ctx.fillText(inemojis, inx, iny);
}
document.getElementById('slideshow').value=mycanvas.toDataURL('image/jpeg');
document.body.style.backgroundImage='url(' + document.getElementById('slideshow').value + ')';

Previous relevant Image and Text PDF Timesheet Value Sequences Tutorial is shown below.

To my mind the biggest bugbears with filling out timesheets are …

• totally repetitious value repeats
• date or datetime or time sequencing

… but working off the progress up until yesterday’s Image and Text PDF More Toast Tutorial we got some solace reading PHP date_format() Function, particularly …

• DATE_ATOM – Atom (example: 2013-04-12T15:52:01+00:00)
• DATE_COOKIE – HTTP Cookies (example: Friday, 12-Apr-13 15:52:01 UTC)
• DATE_ISO8601 – ISO-8601 (example: 2013-04-12T15:52:01+0000)
• DATE_RFC822 – RFC 822 (example: Fri, 12 Apr 13 15:52:01 +0000)
• DATE_RFC850 – RFC 850 (example: Friday, 12-Apr-13 15:52:01 UTC)
• DATE_RFC1036 – RFC 1036 (example: Fri, 12 Apr 13 15:52:01 +0000)
• DATE_RFC1123 – RFC 1123 (example: Fri, 12 Apr 2013 15:52:01 +0000)
• DATE_RFC2822 – RFC 2822 (Fri, 12 Apr 2013 15:52:01 +0000)
• DATE_RFC3339 – Same as DATE_ATOM (since PHP 5.1.3)
• DATE_RSS – RSS (Fri, 12 Aug 2013 15:52:01 +0000)
• DATE_W3C – World Wide Web Consortium (example: 2013-04-12T15:52:01+00:00)

… as ideas for user entries not involving arcane timestamp formats (such as today’s tutorial picture’s DATE_AToM -=2 x 7 example) while allowing for many user date/time timesheet requirements, teamed with our new stage 2 document.body “title” (ie. hover) advice …

Click where text is to be placed in your resultant PDF. Can use a suffix such as x 5 to repeat value on the 4 clicks to follow. As far as dates go consult https://www.w3schools.com/php/func_date_date_format.asp DATE_ATOM type entries where DATE_ followed by ymd lowercase character correspondence in second part means change just date via that ymd means whereas date_ followed by hms lowercase character correspondence in second part means change time via that hms means whereas uppercase second part preceeded by ymd lowercase character in first part means change datetime via that ymd means whereas datE_ followed by hms lowercase character correspondence in second part means change datetime via that hms means. Incrementing scale can be defined via ++ or — or +=2 or -=4 types of strings before the x 5 repeat definitions.

Previous relevant Image and Text PDF More Toast Tutorial is shown below.

In our current “Image and Text Nodes PDF Creator” PHP web application project, it is stage 2, primarily, that we want to make more “featureful“, shall we say! It was as we were constructing yesterday’s Image and Text PDF Rotation and Direction Tutorial‘s animated GIF tutorial picture we realized that it fell into that trap of “lack of reality” regarding its premise. A background timesheet image with the hours already filled in? This is not realistic. And yet, regarding a “two pass” scenario, where a PDF’s JPEG could be called into play for a second pass, it is too much to ask users to put up with such complexity! Better is to allow the user to change Text styling adequately enough, midstream, to allow this timesheet scenario …

1. start with no hours filled in (as the base image)
2. user fills in the hours … then (courtesy of new “from then on” more toast functionality) …
3. user (is able to) fill in the date strings

… all in the one pass of execution of our “Image and Text Nodes PDF Creator” PHP web application.

Again, the second of the dual toast purposes involves position:fixed but just in case users want to click for text nodes under it, we give 20 second periods where it is hidden, as you can see in our changed pdfimageplustext.php Image and Text PDF (now with “third draft” user interaction logic) PHP web application you can also try below, in a pared down “awkward interaction” mode of use showing you that $_GET[] arguments are catered for but not used with the real user interaction code talked about above.

Yesterday’s Image and Text PDF Glowing Toast Tutorial allowed for text …

• where the size could be changed
• where the style could be changed
• where the font family could be changed

… but users may want, particularly if they are infilling a timesheet, text …

• where colour can be changed
• where direction can be changed amongst Up Down Left Right
• where rotation can be changed

To facilitate this, we appreciate the FPDF subclass developed here, thanks, and used it to improve the user selectable possibilities in our changed pdfimageplustext.php Image and Text PDF (now with “third draft” user interaction logic) PHP web application you can also try below, in a pared down “awkward interaction” mode of use showing you that $_GET[] arguments are catered for but not used with the real user interaction code talked about above.

… over our “Image and Text Nodes PDF” in exact context in stage 2 in yesterday’s tutorial further below, better informing the user, especially mobile ones, what is required of them to add Text Nodes onto the Image to complete PDF creation, better than yesterday’s Image and Text PDF Interaction Tutorial …

Also in the mix below is the third “user interaction” mode of use below …

1. browse for local device image files …
2. enter an Image Relative URL (ie. relative to https://www.rjmprogramming.com.au/ or RJM Programming’s Apache/PHP/MySql web server Document Root folder) …
3. turn to a modified very apt find_images_via_size.php web application that adds a visual component to the Image Relative URL idea above

… complimenting the changed pdfimageplustext.php Image and Text PDF (now with “second draft” user interaction logic) PHP web application you can also try below, in a pared down “awkward interaction” mode of use showing you that $_GET[] arguments are catered for but not used with the real user interaction code talked about above.

---

Previous relevant Image and Text PDF Interaction Tutorial is shown below.

Many web applications benefit from user interaction to make them dynamically useful. The idea is you, as the programmer, set up the default scenario of there being “nothing to go on yet” with a reasonably easily understood way for the user to supply the web application with the information required, a phase often referred to as “user interaction”.

And so, with our current “Image and Text Nodes PDF Creation” project of yesterday’s Image and Text PDF Sharing Tutorial you might say we worked from the end of the workflow to the start of the workflow, today, with us adding a “user interaction” phase when the URL entered is just …


https://www.rjmprogramming.com.au/pdfimageplustext.php


There is a proviso, though! When you have a PHP web application and deal with $_POST[] arguments, as we steer you towards, today, with our sizeable data issue, you will see that same URL as above at various stages (all 1 and 2 and 3 below) of the PDF creation workflow …

1. user enters https://www.rjmprogramming.com.au/pdfimageplustext.php at address bar of the web browser where user defines an image URL or browses for a local image file …
2. user sees that image and clicks/taps where they want text node(s) placed, and can proceed to the next step by answering with a blank text node …
3. user sees created PDF file consisting of an Image and Text Node(s)

In other words, the use of serverside $_POST[] argument HTML form method=POST methodologies …


<form id=myform method=POST action=./pdfimageplustext.php style=display:none;>
<input type=hidden id=slideshow name=justiurl value=''></input>
<div id=coords style=display:none;></div>
<input type=submit id=isub style=display:none; value='Ask for Text'></input>
</form>


… make the web application “look” be contextual, where $_GET[] argument usage would be more self explanatory, but, alas, is impractical when the length of character data exceeds about 800, as it would with any self respecting image data URL!

A “first time that we can remember” curiosity about that HTML form usage above, used in two of the stages talked about above, is the “navigation $_POST[] argument renaming” as per …


function redraw() {
document.getElementById('cbi').style.display='none';
document.getElementById('myp').style.display='none';
document.getElementById('iurl').style.display='none';
document.getElementById('myh1').style.display='none';
document.getElementById('myh3').style.display='none';
document.getElementById('mybody').style.background='url(' + datauri + ')';
document.getElementById('mybody').style.backgroundRepeat='no-repeat';
document.getElementById('slideshow').name='pdfimage';
if (document.body.outerHTML.indexOf('url(') != -1) {
datauri=document.body.outerHTML.split('url(')[1].split(')')[0].replace(/\"\;/g,'');
}
document.getElementById('slideshow').value=datauri;
//alert(datauri.substring(0,100) + ' ... ' + document.body.outerHTML.substring(0,350));
document.getElementById('coords').innerHTML+='<input type=hidden name=pdfimageplustext value=y></input>';
startrecording=true;
document.getElementById('mybody').onclick=function(e){
e = e || window.event;
e.preventDefault();
startrecording=true;
if (e.touches) {
if (e.touches[0].pageX) {
x = e.touches[0].pageX;
y = e.touches[0].pageY;
askaway();
} else {
x = e.touches[0].clientX;
y = e.touches[0].clientY;
askaway();
}
//console.log('pos3=' + pos3 + ',pos4=' + pos4);
} else if (e.clientX || e.clientY) {
x = e.clientX;
y = e.clientY;
askaway();
} else {
x = e.pageX;
y = e.pageY;
askaway();
}
};
document.getElementById('mybody').title='Click where text is to be placed in your resultant PDF'; //setTimeout(askaway, 5000); //alert('am here');
}


Somehow, we’ve always been shy to work things this way, but is fine to do!

Again, see this in action with the changed pdfimageplustext.php Image and Text PDF (now with “first draft” user interaction logic) PHP web application you can also try below, in a pared down “awkward interaction” mode of use showing you that $_GET[] arguments are catered for but not used with the real user interaction code talked about above.

Previous relevant Image and Text PDF Sharing Tutorial is shown below.

Onto yesterday’s Image and Text PDF Primer Tutorial “Image and Text PDF” creator start, today we wanted to link in with our previous Web Share API Primer Tutorial work to offer some of our users the chance to share their work. Yes, it’s some of our users here because the Web Share API interfacing does not work on all platforms and only works for https: protocol URLs.

Also in the winds today is the “uniquifying” of media filenames for their limited lifespan.

And in a wind (called Mariah) we convert our PDF to a JPEG image via the great ImageMagick …


convert -density 300 pdffilename.pdf pdffilename.jpg


… command line type of command (accessed via PHP exec conduit) along the way, because that might come in handy down the line.

And then, “down the line”, we realized that for Safari platform work where a PDF is shown within an HTML iframe scenario, that JPEG image can immediately help, it being that (onclick event) intermediary between the iframe and opening PDF in a new window (but not good in the iframe element).

See this in action with the changed pdfimageplustext.php Image and Text PDF (still a blank webpage without the user interaction, at this first draft) PHP web application (helped out by the changed HTML and Javascript web_share_api_test.html Web Share API supervisor) you can also try below.

We are restarting our interest in our “Timesheet Filling In Automator” web application long standing dream from another angle today. We want to …

• create PDF data via the FPDF PHP library … where we …
• base the PDF on a single image (at this stage) … and …
• allow for any number of x,y,text combinations placed on top of the image above … and …
• allow for Font Family and Font Style and Font Size (with a mantissa on x means to change the Font Size for individual text nodes)

… for this early days “proof of concept” and “just the workings, not the user interaction” with our “first draft” pdfimageplustext.php Image and Text PDF (blank webpage without the user interaction, at this first draft) PHP web application you can see in the example usage below …

Open Link of Content Below in New Window … or change that URL just below … https://www.rjmprogramming.com.au/pdfimageplustext.php?pdfimageplustext=y&pdfimage=moodle.jpg&pdftext1=Moodle%20Page&pdfx1=230&pdfy1=250
