help with wrapping description in pdf invoice

[decor]

hello

I brought a template for html & pdf invoivces from someone here but can nott seem to find the reciept. So can someone help me with wrapping the invoice description?

 

currently i have (the description part only of pdfconfig.php

-----------------------------------------

 

$pdf->Cell(50,9,"Total Amount Due",1,0,'L',1);

$pdf->Cell(30,9,$duedate,1,0,'L',1);

$pdf->Cell(30,9,$currencysymbol.$grandtotal,1,0,'R',1);$pdf->Ln();

 

$pdf->SetTextColor(0);

 

$pdf->Cell(80,9,"Balance Brought Forward",0,0,'L',0);

$pdf->Cell(30,9,$currencysymbol.$balancebroughtforward,0,0,'R',0);$pdf->Ln();$pdf->Ln();

 

foreach ($invoiceitems AS $item) {

$pdf->Cell(80,0,$item["description"],0,0,'L',0);

$pdf->Cell(30,0,$currencysymbol.$item["amount"],0,0,'R',0);$pdf->Ln();

}

 

# TOTALS

--------------------------------------------------

 

which will write one long line across the page when the description is long.

 

How do i wrap the description at say 70 characters?

 

thanks

Take a look at the latest 3.8.1 pdfconfig.php file.

 

They have implemented new code in the area you are looking at to wrap a bit better.

foreach ($invoiceitems AS $item) {
   if (strlen($item["description"])>75) {
       $numlines = ceil(strlen($item["description"])/75);
       $cellheight = $numlines * 5;
       $pdf->MultiCell(130,$cellheight,$item["description"],1,'L','',0);
       $pdf->MultiCell(40,$cellheight,$currencysymbol.$item["amount"],1,'C','',0);
       $pdf->SetXY(20,$pdf->GetY());
   } else {
               $pdf->Cell(130,6,$item["description"],1);
               $pdf->Cell(40,6,$currencysymbol.$item["amount"],1,0,'C');
       }
       $pdf->Ln();
}
