PDF_fit_textflow — Passt Textfluss in rechteckigen Bereich ein
Gibt den nächsten Abschnitt eines Textflusses in einen rechteckigen Bereich aus.
NOTE!
This function is not supported in "PDFlib Lite" extension which is mostly been used by PHP-programmers.
This is an excerpt of code from the PDFlib Manual that has been modfied for PHP. It fulfills the very common need to have a textflow extend accross multiple pages.
$pdf is the PDF file resource. You may want to modify the page size (this is letter size) or the position of the textflow itself.
<?php
$thetext = "INSERT YOUR MULTI-PAGE TEXT HERE";
$textflow = PDF_create_textflow($pdf, $thetext, "fontname=Tahoma fontsize=9 encoding=winansi");
do {
PDF_begin_page_ext($pdf, 612, 792, "");
$result = PDF_fit_textflow($pdf, $textflow, 50, 120, 550, 720, "");
PDF_end_page_ext($pdf, "");
} while (strcmp($result, "_stop"));
PDF_delete_textflow($pdf, $textflow);
?>
If you have any templates or pagination that need to be placed on each page, they can go within the do/while loop itself, between the begin_page and end_page functions.

$textflow = pdf_create_textflow($pdf, "test 123\nfoo baaa", 'fontname=Helvetica fontsize=12 encoding=iso8859-1 alignment=right');
pdf_fit_textflow ($pdf, $textflow, 400, 100, 550, 200, '');
