SetAuthor()

(mPDF ≥ 1.0)

SetAuthor – Set the document Author

Description

void SetAuthor ( string $text )

Set the Author for the document. This metadata can be seen when inspecting the document properties in Adobe Reader.

Note: Adobe Reader uses system fonts to display the document metadata, therefore any Unicode text can be used, even if a unibyte codepage is being used for the document.

Parameters

$text

Defines the text to appear as the Author. The text should be UTF-8 encoded, but should not contain HTML mark-up tags.

strcode2utf() is a useful function provided with mPDF which converts HTML numerical entities to UTF-8 encoded string.

Examples

Example #1

<?php
$mpdf = new \Mpdf\Mpdf();

$mpdf->SetAuthor('My Name');

$mpdf->WriteHTML('Hello World');
$mpdf->Output('filename.pdf');

Example #2

<?php
$mpdf = new \Mpdf\Mpdf();

// The library defines a function strcode2utf() to convert htmlentities to UTF-8 encoded text
$md = strcode2utf("&amp;#1575;&amp;#1610;&amp;#1604;&amp;#1575;&amp;#1578; &amp;#1601;&amp;#1610;&amp;#1605;&amp;#1575; &amp;#1575;&amp;#1610;&amp;#1604;&amp;#1575;&amp;#1578; &amp;#1601;&amp;#1610;&amp;#1605;&amp;#1575;");
$mpdf->SetAuthor($md);

$mpdf->WriteHTML('Hello World');
$mpdf->Output('filename.pdf');
