+# GoFPDF document generator
+
+[![MIT licensed][badge-mit]][license]
+[![Report][badge-report]][report]
+[![GoDoc][badge-doc]][godoc]
+
+![][logo]
+
+Package gofpdf implements a PDF document generator with high level support for
+text, drawing and images.
+
+## Features
+
+* Choice of measurement unit, page format and margins
+* Page header and footer management
+* Automatic page breaks, line breaks, and text justification
+* Inclusion of JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF and basic path-only SVG images
+* Colors, gradients and alpha channel transparency
+* Outline bookmarks
+* Internal and external links
+* TrueType, Type1 and encoding support
+* Page compression
+* Lines, Bézier curves, arcs, and ellipses
+* Rotation, scaling, skewing, translation, and mirroring
+* Clipping
+* Document protection
+* Layers
+* Templates
+* Barcodes
+* Charting facility
+
+gofpdf has no dependencies other than the Go standard library. All tests pass
+on Linux, Mac and Windows platforms.
+
+Like FPDF version 1.7, from which gofpdf is derived, this package does not yet
+support UTF-8 fonts. In particular, languages that require more than one code
+page such as Chinese, Japanese, and Arabic are not currently supported. This is
+explained in [issue 109][issue109]. However, support is provided to
+automatically translate UTF-8 runes to code page encodings for languages that
+have fewer than 256 glyphs.
+
+## Installation
+
+To install the package on your system, run
+
+```shell
+go get github.com/jung-kurt/gofpdf
+```
+
+Later, to receive updates, run
+
+```shell
+go get -u -v github.com/jung-kurt/gofpdf/...
+```
+
+## Quick Start
+
+The following Go code generates a simple PDF file.
+
+```go
+pdf := gofpdf.New("P", "mm", "A4", "")
+pdf.AddPage()
+pdf.SetFont("Arial", "B", 16)
+pdf.Cell(40, 10, "Hello, world")
+err := pdf.OutputFileAndClose("hello.pdf")
+```
+
+See the functions in the [fpdf_test.go][fpdf-test] file (shown as examples in
+this documentation) for more advanced PDF examples.
+
+## Errors
+
+If an error occurs in an Fpdf method, an internal error field is set. After
+this occurs, Fpdf method calls typically return without performing any
+operations and the error state is retained. This error management scheme
+facilitates PDF generation since individual method calls do not need to be
+examined for failure; it is generally sufficient to wait until after `Output()`
+is called. For the same reason, if an error occurs in the calling application
+during PDF generation, it may be desirable for the application to transfer the
+error to the Fpdf instance by calling the `SetError()` method or the
+`SetErrorf()` method. At any time during the life cycle of the Fpdf instance,
+the error state can be determined with a call to `Ok()` or `Err()`. The error
+itself can be retrieved with a call to `Error()`.
+
+## Conversion Notes
+
+This package is a relatively straightforward translation from the original
+[FPDF][fpdf-site] library written in PHP (despite the caveat in the
+introduction to [Effective Go][effective-go]). The
+API names have been retained even though the Go idiom would suggest otherwise
+(for example, `pdf.GetX()` is used rather than simply `pdf.X()`). The
+similarity of the two libraries makes the original FPDF website a good source
+of information. It includes a forum and FAQ.
+
+However, some internal changes have been made. Page content is built up using
+buffers (of type bytes.Buffer) rather than repeated string concatenation.
+Errors are handled as explained above rather than panicking. Output is
+generated through an interface of type io.Writer or io.WriteCloser. A number of
+the original PHP methods behave differently based on the type of the arguments
+that are passed to them; in these cases additional methods have been exported
+to provide similar functionality. Font definition files are produced in JSON
+rather than PHP.
+
+## Example PDFs
+
+A side effect of running `go test ./...` is the production of a number of
+example PDFs. These can be found in the gofpdf/pdf directory after the tests
+complete.
+
+Please note that these examples run in the context of a test. In order run an
+example as a standalone application, you'll need to examine
+[fpdf_test.go][fpdf-test] for some helper routines, for example
+`exampleFilename()` and `summary()`.
+
+Example PDFs can be compared with reference copies in order to verify that they
+have been generated as expected. This comparison will be performed if a PDF
+with the same name as the example PDF is placed in the gofpdf/pdf/reference
+directory and if the third argument to `ComparePDFFiles()` in
+internal/example/example.go is true. (By default it is false.) The routine that
+summarizes an example will look for this file and, if found, will call
+`ComparePDFFiles()` to check the example PDF for equality with its reference PDF.
+If differences exist between the two files they will be printed to standard
+output and the test will fail. If the reference file is missing, the comparison
+is considered to succeed. In order to successfully compare two PDFs, the
+placement of internal resources must be consistent and the internal creation
+timestamps must be the same. To do this, the methods `SetCatalogSort()` and
+`SetCreationDate()` need to be called for both files. This is done automatically
+for all examples.
+
+## Nonstandard Fonts
+
+Nothing special is required to use the standard PDF fonts (courier, helvetica,
+times, zapfdingbats) in your documents other than calling `SetFont()`.
+
+In order to use a different TrueType or Type1 font, you will need to generate a
+font definition file and, if the font will be embedded into PDFs, a compressed
+version of the font file. This is done by calling the `MakeFont()` function or
+using the included makefont command line utility. To create the utility, cd
+into the makefont subdirectory and run `go build`. This will produce a
+standalone executable named makefont. Select the appropriate encoding file from
+the font subdirectory and run the command as in the following example.
+
+```shell
+./makefont --embed --enc=../font/cp1252.map --dst=../font ../font/calligra.ttf
+```
+
+In your PDF generation code, call AddFont() to load the font and, as with the
+standard fonts, SetFont() to begin using it. Most examples, including the
+package example, demonstrate this method. Good sources of free, open-source
+fonts include [Google Fonts][gfont] and [DejaVu Fonts][dfont].
+
+## Related Packages
+
+The [draw2d][draw2d-site] package is a two dimensional vector graphics library that
+can generate output in different forms. It uses gofpdf for its document
+production mode.
+
+## Contributing Changes
+
+gofpdf is a global community effort and you are invited to make it even better.
+If you have implemented a new feature or corrected a problem, please consider
+contributing your change to the project. A contribution that does not directly
+pertain to the core functionality of gofpdf should be placed in its own
+directory directly beneath the `contrib` directory.
+
+Here are guidelines for making submissions. Your change should
+
+* be compatible with the MIT License
+* be properly documented
+* be formatted with `go fmt`
+* include an example in [fpdf_test.go][test] if appropriate
+* conform to the standards of [golint][lint] and
+[go vet][vet], that is, `golint .` and
+`go vet .` should not generate any warnings
+* not diminish [test coverage][coverage]
+
+[Pull requests][pr] are the preferred means of accepting your changes.

+## Acknowledgments
+
+This package's code and documentation are closely derived from the [FPDF][fpdf-site]
+library created by Olivier Plathey, and a number of font and image resources
+are copied directly from it. Bruno Michel has provided valuable assistance with
+the code. Drawing support is adapted from the FPDF geometric figures script by
+David Hernández Sanz. Transparency support is adapted from the FPDF
+transparency script by Martin Hall-May. Support for gradients and clipping is
+adapted from FPDF scripts by Andreas Würmser. Support for outline bookmarks is
+adapted from Olivier Plathey by Manuel Cornes. Layer support is adapted from
+Olivier Plathey. Support for transformations is adapted from the FPDF
+transformation script by Moritz Wagner and Andreas Würmser. PDF protection is
+adapted from the work of Klemen Vodopivec for the FPDF product. Lawrence
+Kesteloot provided code to allow an image's extent to be determined prior to
+placement. Support for vertical alignment within a cell was provided by Stefan
+Schroeder. Ivan Daniluk generalized the font and image loading code to use the
+Reader interface while maintaining backward compatibility. Anthony Starks
+provided code for the Polygon function. Robert Lillack provided the Beziergon
+function and corrected some naming issues with the internal curve function.
+Claudio Felber provided implementations for dashed line drawing and generalized
+font loading. Stani Michiels provided support for multi-segment path drawing
+with smooth line joins, line join styles, enhanced fill modes, and has helped
+greatly with package presentation and tests. Templating is adapted by Marcus
+Downing from the FPDF_Tpl library created by Jan Slabon and Setasign. Jelmer
+Snoeck contributed packages that generate a variety of barcodes and help with
+registering images on the web. Jelmer Snoek and Guillermo Pascual augmented the
+basic HTML functionality with aligned text. Kent Quirk implemented
+backwards-compatible support for reading DPI from images that support it, and
+for setting DPI manually and then having it properly taken into account when
+calculating image size. Paulo Coutinho provided support for static embedded
+fonts. Dan Meyers added support for embedded JavaScript. David Fish added a
+generic alias-replacement function to enable, among other things, table of
+contents functionality. Andy Bakun identified and corrected a problem in which
+the internal catalogs were not sorted stably. Paul Montag added encoding and
+decoding functionality for templates, including images that are embedded in
+templates; this allows templates to be stored independently of gofpdf. Paul
+also added support for page boxes used in printing PDF documents. Wojciech
+Matusiak added supported for word spacing.
+
+## Roadmap
+
+* Handle UTF-8 source text natively. Until then, automatic translation of
+UTF-8 runes to code page bytes is provided.
+* Improve test coverage as reported by the coverage tool.
