TCPDF page borders?

Question

I'm trying to achieve simple 1px solid red border around each page generated in TCPDF. Previously using other PDF scripts I was forced to draw a rectangle after doing some rough calculations with getting the page width and height and -20px (to allow for 10px indentation on each side). However I'm unsure how I can achieve a similar result with TCPDF.

Does anyone have any experience?

Answer 1

Here you go (this will draw a black line of 15 points around the current page)

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

$pdf->SetLineStyle( array( 'width' => 15, 'color' => array(0,0,0)));

$pdf->Line(0,0,$pdf->getPageWidth(),0); 
$pdf->Line($pdf->getPageWidth(),0,$pdf->getPageWidth(),$pdf->getPageHeight());
$pdf->Line(0,$pdf->getPageHeight(),$pdf->getPageWidth(),$pdf->getPageHeight());
$pdf->Line(0,0,0,$pdf->getPageHeight());

Use Rect:

$pdf->SetLineStyle( array( 'width' => 15, 'color' => array(0,0,0)));
$pdf->Rect(0, 0, $pdf->getPageWidth(), $pdf->getPageHeight());

$pdf->SetLineStyle( array( 'width' => 15, 'color' => array(0,0,0)));
$pdf->Line(0,0,$pdf->getPageWidth(),0); 
$pdf->Line($pdf->getPageWidth(),0,$pdf->getPageWidth(),$pdf->getPageHeight());
$pdf->Line(0,$pdf->getPageHeight(),$pdf->getPageWidth(),$pdf->getPageHeight());
$pdf->Line(0,0,0,$pdf->getPageHeight());
$pdf->SetLineStyle( array( 'width' => 14, 'color' => array(255,255,255)));
$pdf->Line(0,0,$pdf->getPageWidth(),0); 
$pdf->Line($pdf->getPageWidth(),0,$pdf->getPageWidth(),$pdf->getPageHeight());
$pdf->Line(0,$pdf->getPageHeight(),$pdf->getPageWidth(),$pdf->getPageHeight());
$pdf->Line(0,0,0,$pdf->getPageHeight());

You can use the TCPDF Line function and create four lines around each side of the page.

Try like this:

public function Header()
{
    $this->writeHTMLCell($w='', $h='', $x='', $y='', $this->header, $border=0, $ln=0, $fill=0, $reseth=true, $align='L', $autopadding=true);
    
    $this->SetLineStyle( array('width'=>0.40,'color'=> array(0,0,0)));
    
    $this->Line(5,5, $this->getPageWidth()-5,5);
    
    $this->Line($this->getPageWidth()-5,5, $this->getPageWidth()-5, $this->getPageHeight()-5);
    $this->Line(5, $this->getPageHeight()-5, $this->getPageWidth()-5, $this->getPageHeight()-5);
    $this->Line(5,5,5, $this->getPageHeight()-5);
}
