I'm currently building a download function that will generate numerous PDFs, and then merge them all together.
However, the links on the Table of Contents page stop working once the PDFs are merged.. All of the links are functioning when the PDF is originally generated, but once it's merged they stop working.
I'm currently using DomPDF to generate the original PDFs, and then PHPdocx's MultiMerge class to combine them all.
I've tried using different libraries to merge the PDFs, but all of them have the same result.
Note: the site is built on Laravel 5.2.
So, my question is, is it possible to somehow merge PDFs using PHP while still preserving all hyperlinks ? Or even going in and editing the final PDF once it's generated to insert the links..
Any help or tips would be really appreciated.
Thanks !

I have a problem with pdfMerger. I can't merge pdf files higher than the 1.4 version. I guess this problem is because I am using FPDI free version. How can I merge 1.5 PDF files without using Ghostscript? I don't have shell access to the hosting that I am using.
I tried to find different PDF classes to fix my problem, but I can't.
How do i run a file of images in Informatica manually? My company has run several images in informatica with Abbyy that does data transformation, but however there were some images with text's, but texts were not produced.. Therefore, i am asked to run new images in Abbyy Informatica, to reproduce those errors, where some images did not produce texts. Please give me some guidance
I am still a student interning at the company..
If you are using the following plugin, please see the video.
Now, if by "How do i run a file of images in Informatica manually?" you mean that the problem you have is with executing the workflow for a given sest of image files, then you need to perform an indirect load. Please google that. This is mentioned in the video and it simply means that as a source you need to use a file that contains a list of files to be processed. And on the Session you need to set the Souce Qualifier property Source filetype to Indirect.
working on a Joomla site I came across the following problem: I need to give frontend-access to a specified directory on the server. The user (an elderly man who is not into IT, should be as simple as possible!) has to upload photos into a directory and should also be able to delete them if he wishes. I have found several extensions that allow easy uploading from the frontend. Still, I did not find any which would also allow to delete content, in fact I haven't even found one that even displays the content of the folder.
The features I ideally would like to have are:
- uploading
- displaying in a list
- deleting out of that list
the content of a specified folder via front-end.
Does anyone know an extension providing the needed features? Or would there possibly be a solution combining multiple extensions, each of them fulfilling one of the needs?
Thanks in advance!
the Image Galery of the DOCman extension (https://www.joomlatools.com) should do the job but it is not free...

In a current project I have to generate an Excel report. I do have the the Excel file as a template which contains some static data along with some fields which contain parameter values.
On the bottom of the Excel file there should be a table which contains data from Dataset.
Now I am wondering if there is a way/ tool to generate the rdl file from the Excel file rather than creating it by myself (which would be very cumbersome...)
On the other hand is there a way to link static Excel content into the .rdl file?
You could use the excel spreadsheet as a data source for the report to pull the information in. But then it would need to be accessible from the report manager server if you're planning on deploying the report. So unless the information in the spreadsheet is going to change I think this will likely be more trouble than it is worth.
If it isn't necessary to deploy it to report manager then you could also try embedding the report in the excel file itself and use SSRS to update the dynamic content and you can just leave the static stuff already there. (Of course, depending on the complexity of what you're doing you could also just automate all of the dynamic stuff in Excel VBA code too.) I've personally never done this, but I've found a couple of blog posts detailing how it could possibly be pulled off. I think this is nifty enough I may have to try it if I ever get the chance. You can even use cell values in the spreadsheet and pass them as parameter values to the report.
I've found a post on embedding the report data as an image that refreshes from the report server. On the upside it seems simple to pull off, but the downside is that it is an image and the numbers won't be available to be individually selected only looked at. So it would be best for charts but not your data table.
Then there is this article which shows how to actually import the values into the spread sheet by pulling it in from SSRS in CSV format and using some VBA code to put it into the excel file. It is a more complicated solution but I think its a pretty cool idea, though I dunno how well it will work in practice.
Otherwise, I think you're stuck recreating the static information and formatting from the excel file in your report.
I need to create pdf reports in my app. I'm using asp.net mvc3. What's the best way to do this? I don't really want to use a reporting framework if i can avoid it, it's just a few reports, table layout, groupings, pagination possibly, totals, ability to merge pdfs into 1 pdf....any ideas? what would be ideal is if i could convert my html view into a pdf simply...
There is nothing built into .NET allowing to create PDF files. So you have two possibilities: write one yourself from scratch or use one that exists.
In case you decide to go with the second you may take a look at flying-saucer which along with ikvmc.exe could be used to convert XHTML files into PDF. I have blogged about some of the required steps in order to get this working.
Some possibilities:
I think you can do this with SQL Server reporting services (in SQL rather than a 3rd party reporting framework)
Low level PDF libraries that can be used: PDFSharp, iTextSharp.
You could print an html file to a postscript driver using word automation, then convert the PS to PDF via GhostScript
