In my project I am saving scanned documents to either pdf or image format. Now After scanning I am creating a barcode of the file. Then I want to print to print the scanned docs together with the barcode. Now I am using fpdi for generating the pdf file that I will put the scanned document into together with the barcode. I want to set the scanned documents as background of the pdf and then just add the barcode above the scanned document.

I am using:

Code Igniter Fpdf Tcpdf

I used the code below:

$pdf = new Fpdi();
$pdf->SetTitle($filename);
$pdf->setFooterFont(Array(PDF_FONT_NAME_DATA, '', PDF_FONT_SIZE_DATA));
$pdf->SetDefaultMonospacedFont('helvetica');
$pdf->SetAutoPageBreak(TRUE, PDF_MARGIN_BOTTOM);
$pdf->AddPage();

$str = preg_replace('#^https?://#', '', base_url());
$img_file1 =$str.'assets/uploads/'.$filename;
$img = '../../../../SystemName/assets/uploads/8787123.jpg';
$pdf->fullPathToFile = $img_file1;

$pdf->setSourceFile($img_file1);
$pdf->importPage(1, '/MediaBox');
$pdf->Output($title,'I');

But this is what I am getting:

An uncaught Exception was encountered
Type: InvalidArgumentException

Message: Cannot open IPADDRESS/SystemName/assets/uploads/7766_1.pdf !

Update:

I need to scan a document they can be in pdf format or image (pdf more preferred) then I need to attach a barcode on that scanned document for printing. So my solution is after scanning I click a print button use fpdf to make another pdf that will include the bar code and the scanned document

Instead of these

$str = preg_replace('#^https?://#', '', base_url());
$img_file1 =$str.'assets/uploads/'.$filename;
$img = '../../../../SystemName/assets/uploads/8787123.jpg';
$pdf->fullPathToFile = $img_file1;
$pdf->setSourceFile($img_file1);

add this 

$image = base_url.'assets/uploads/'.$filename;
$pdf->Image($image);

  • `$pdf->Image($image);` works for image i doubt it will work for pdf but i will try it and get back on you – Giant Jan 04 '18 at 08:27
  • attach pdf inside pdf? – Abdulla Nilam Jan 04 '18 at 08:33
  • like i said above my main function includes this -> I need to scan a document they can be in pdf format or image (pdf more preferred) then I need to attach a barcode on that scanned document for printing. So my solution is after scanning I click a print button use fpdf to make another pdf that will include the bar code and the scanned document – Giant Jan 04 '18 at 08:40
