Just add these lines after: $pdf =& new concat_pdf();

// remove default header/footer
$pdf->setPrintHeader(false);
$pdf->setPrintFooter(false);

Actually, the original example uses it, instead of TCPDF.

Now the annoying line above the header is gone.

Here is what I have done step by step:

Download TCPDF – Version: 4.8.031
Download FPDF_TPL-1.1.4
Download FPDI_1.3.2

Extract the archives in one dir in my localhost workspace.

Move ‘fpdf_tpl.php’ file to ‘FPDI_1.3.2′ dir in order it could be loaded properly.

Create an index.php file.

Copy the upper ‘concat_pdf’ class in it.

Copy the upper ‘Usage’ code.

Use a standart PDF file in the setFiles() method, downloaded from the web, not previously generated with TCPDF.
(By the way, If I use a file, which is generated by TCPDF, the result is the same)

Launch the script.

The output is the same as the source PDF file with one difference – on each page there is a line 2 or 3 mm below the top edge of the page. It starts from the ‘left_margin’ position and ends to the ‘right_margin’ position.

If we use TCPDF to build a page, the same result may be achieved by the following code used in the Header() method:

$this->Line($this->left_margin, 3, $this->getPageWidth() – $this->right_margin, 3);

Regards and thanks!

Second, I have a question:
When I concatenate pdf files I get one horizontal line on each page just above my header.
It is situated 2 or 3 mm from the top end of the paper.

Is it a feature or a bug, and if the first, is there a way I could hide it?

Thanks in advance and keep writing such great scripts.

ufff, I’m sorry now I really can’t remember but I’m certain there’s a way :S

Second, is there a way to check for a returned error? I’m using this on a form and I want to have the user return to the previous page to try again if the creation fails.

Thanks,
Jim
