PHPOffice spreadsheet to PDF export - laravel

I have some spreadsheets in MS excell. Trying to convert them to PDF by using PHPOffice and mPDF class. I have a problem to create and display footers on every created PDF page
This is working code for creating a PDF from spreadsheet.
$writer = new \PhpOffice\PhpSpreadsheet\Writer\Pdf\Mpdf($pe);
Is there any solution or method i can call after this to generate footers before use save() method?
Thanks in advance

You can use the footer methods e.g. generate a footer with linenumbers
$reader = \PhpOffice\PhpSpreadsheet\IOFactory::createReader("Xlsx");
$spreadsheet = $reader->load('<path>'); //Path of reader sheet
$sheet = $spreadsheet->getActiveSheet();
$sheet->getHeaderFooter()->setFirstFooter('&C&"-,Bold"Page &P from &N'); //generate Fristfooter
There are more header/footer possibility look documentation or class documentation

svg images are not inserted in pdf while generating a pdf from html using itex7 html2pdf plugin

I am generating a pdf from multiple htmls. if any of the html consists img tag which refers to svg file like <img src="assets/6.svg" /> then in generated pdf doesnt have image included. If I keep jpg or png, then its included as part of generated pdf. Its happening only if I use below code but if I use HtmlConverter.convertToPdf() then svg files are showing fine in generated pdf.
PdfDocument pdfDocument = new PdfDocument(new PdfWriter(new File(pdfFileName)));
pdfDocument.setDefaultPageSize(PageSize.A4);
Document document = new Document(pdfDocument);
document.setMargins(40, 40, 40, 40);
for (String html : htmlFileList) {
List<IElement> elements = HtmlConverter.convertToElements(new FileInputStream(html), converterProperties);
System.out.println(elements.size());
for (IElement element : elements) {
System.out.println(element.getClass().getName());
document.add((IBlockElement)element);
}
}
document.close();
I am seeing error like below when generating a pdf from html using above code.
Unable to retrieve image with given base URI
(file:/C:/Projects/pdf_conversion/download/) and
image source path
(file:/C:/Projects/pdf_conversion/download/assets/cpc/img/icons/x_dont_gray.svg)
I am using above code because page content should be flown from page to page (dont want to create one pdf for one html). Any workaround is highly appreciated on this.

Open PDF file with page number/index in UWP apps

Is there any option to Open a PDF file that is available in local state folder (inside app installation directory) with the page number. There is one method (launchFileAsync) to open such files but I don't find any option to pass page number/index to open specific page.
Thank you! Any help is appreciated.
UWP provides the PdfDocument class for parsing PDF files, and this class provides the GetPage method for obtaining the object of the corresponding page (PdfPage) through the index.
This is simple code:
PdfDocument pdfDocument;
StorageFile file = await ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder.GetFileAsync("xxx.pdf");
pdfDocument = await PdfDocument.LoadFromFileAsync(file);
using (var firstPage = pdfDocument.GetPage(0))
{
var stream = new InMemoryRandomAccessStream();
await firstPage.RenderToStreamAsync(stream);
// do something...
}
Here is the complete code example:

Is there any way to autocomplete a textbox in html using the data read from a phpspreadsheet? How should it be done on codeigniter?

I have been trying to find a way to read data from phpspreadsheet and populate it into a textbox in html using the autocomplete plugin in jquery. I have been trying to do it in codeigniter and I am relatively new to it. Can anyone tell me the steps to go through this process? I
I believe you can do this by having the spreadsheet data loaded on one page and then redirect them to a second page and include the data from the spreadsheet.
This all pseudo-code to show the idea that I'm trying to explain.
function index() {
use PhpOffice\PhpSpreadsheet\IOFactory;
use PhpOffice\PhpSpreadsheet\Reader\IReadFilter;
use PhpOffice\PhpSpreadsheet\Spreadsheet;
$spreadsheet = IOFactory::load($inputFileName);
$sheetData = $spreadsheet->getActiveSheet()->toArray(null, true, false, true);
$_SESSION['sheetdata'] = $sheetData;
redirect('secondpage');
}
function secondpage() {
$data['sheetdata'] = $_SESSION['sheetdata'];
// use this for the autocomplete
// templaste stuff here
}

Set the title for the document. The title is displayed at the top of the Adobe Reader screen when viewing the PDF file
Use code as bellow
public function mypdf() {
$this->load->library('pdf');
$pdf = $this->pdf->load();
$html=$this->load->view('welcome_message',null,true);
$pdf->WriteHTML($html);
// write the HTML into the PDF
$output = 'your_given_name.pdf'; //You can give a name of your generated pdf file or you can create it auto on timestamp by using $output = time().'.pdf'.
$pdf->Output("$output", 'I');

Can't get the PHPExcel and CodeIgniter integration to work

This has been confusing me for days, I can't get the code below to work:
public function index (){
//load our new PHPExcel library
$this->load->library('excel');
$objPHPExcel = new PHPExcel();
//activate worksheet number 1
$this->excel->setActiveSheetIndex(0);
//name the worksheet
$this->excel->getActiveSheet()->setTitle('test worksheet');
//set cell A1 content with some text
$this->excel->getActiveSheet()->setCellValue('A1', 'This is just some text value');
//change the font size
$this->excel->getActiveSheet()->getStyle('A1')->getFont()->setSize(20);
//make the font become bold
$this->excel->getActiveSheet()->getStyle('A1')->getFont()->setBold(true);
//merge cell A1 until D1
$this->excel->getActiveSheet()->mergeCells('A1:D1');
//set aligment to center for that merged cell (A1 to D1)
$this->excel->getActiveSheet()->getStyle('A1')->getAlignment()->setHorizontal(PHPExcel_Style_Alignment::HORIZONTAL_CENTER);
$filename='just_some_random_name.xls'; //save our workbook as this file name
header('Content-Type: application/vnd.ms-excel'); //mime type
header('Content-Disposition: attachment;filename="'.$filename.'"'); //tell browser what's the file name
header('Cache-Control: max-age=0'); //no cache
//save it to Excel5 format (excel 2003 .XLS file), change this to 'Excel2007' (and adjust the filename extension, also the header mime type)
//if you want to save it as .XLSX Excel 2007 format
$objWriter = PHPExcel_IOFactory::createWriter($this->excel, 'Excel5');
//force user to download the Excel file without writing it to server's HD
$objWriter->save('php://output');
}
}
All I get is a blank page. I tried tracing the codes to determine why it won't work and the line $this->load->library('excel');
is causing it.
I have created the excel.php file in /libraries, pasted the code from the example on the web.
Can someone help me on this one please?
Thanks in advance
The problem is how you install PHPExcel with CodeIgniter.
See you answer here:
PHPExcel error in CodeIgniter "Unable to load the requested class: iofactory"
Drop the phpexcel folder into application/third-party and create a library.
(for library use the class proviced by #devrooms in his answer)
Then do the following in controllers:
$this->load->library("excel");
$this->excel->load("/path/to/input.xls");
$this->excel->setActiveSheetIndex(0);
$this->excel->getActiveSheet()->SetCellValue('B2', "whatever");
$this->excel->save("/path/to/output.xls");
If the above is not working see this answer to deactivate the php safe mode on your server
