Automated PDF Reporting with Dynamic Tables
€30-250 EUR
Pagado a la entrega
Hello Freelancers
I am seeking an experienced PHP developer to enhance my existing web application by implementing an automated PDF report generation feature. The application currently allows users to fill out forms, and the submitted data is stored in two MySQL tables: relatorios (reports) and itens_relatorio (report items).
Project Overview:
The primary objective is to generate professional PDF reports based on a predefined PDF template. This template was initially created using Microsoft Word and subsequently converted to PDF. The key requirement is to ensure that the generated PDFs accurately reflect the data entered by users, with dynamic handling of table rows based on the number of analyses submitted.
Key Requirements:
PDF Template Integration:
Utilize the existing PDF template ([login to view URL]) as the base for report generation.
Ensure that the layout, styling, and branding (including the company logo) are preserved in the generated PDFs.
Dynamic Table Generation:
The PDF contains a table that lists multiple analyses/items.
The number of table rows should automatically adjust based on the number of entries in the itens_relatorio table for each report.
Ensure that the table maintains proper formatting and does not overflow the page boundaries. Implement page breaks if necessary.
Data Insertion:
Accurately insert data into predefined sections of the PDF, including:
Report Number (numero_relatorio)
Client Name (cliente)
Sample Date (data_amostras)
Sample Type (tipo_amostra)
Populate the dynamic table with items including:
Client Reference (ref_cliente)
EXI Reference (ref_exi)
Value 1 (valor1)
Value 2 (valor2)
Observations (observacoes)
Report Date (data_relatorio)
Technical Implementation:
Language & Framework: PHP
PDF Generation Library: mPDF (preferred for its flexibility with HTML/CSS)
Database: MySQL
Existing Infrastructure: The application is hosted on a local server using XAMPP on a Mac.
Email Integration: (Optional) Ability to email the generated PDF to the client using PHPMailer or a similar library.
User Interface Enhancements:
Provide a user-friendly interface for generating and downloading the PDF reports.
Ensure that the PDF generation process is seamless and does not require manual intervention.
Error Handling & Validation:
Implement robust error handling to manage scenarios where data might be missing or improperly formatted.
Validate all inputs before inserting them into the PDF to prevent injection attacks or formatting issues.
Deliverables:
PHP Scripts: All necessary PHP files to integrate mPDF for PDF generation within the existing application.
Updated Templates: Any modifications to the HTML/CSS templates used by mPDF to match the PDF layout.
Documentation: Clear instructions on how the PDF generation works, how to maintain or update the templates, and any dependencies required.
Testing: Ensure that the PDF generation works flawlessly with varying numbers of table entries and different data inputs.
Preferred Qualifications:
Proven experience with PHP and MySQL.
Extensive knowledge of PDF generation libraries, particularly mPDF.
Strong understanding of HTML and CSS to design and manipulate PDF layouts.
Experience with integrating email functionalities using libraries like PHPMailer.
Ability to troubleshoot and optimize code for performance and reliability.
Good communication skills to understand requirements and provide updates.
Additional Information:
The current project setup uses XAMPP on a Mac. Familiarity with this environment is a plus.
The PDF template ([login to view URL]) will be provided. It was originally created in Word and converted to PDF.
The application currently manages user authentication. Any changes should maintain existing security protocols.
Future enhancements may include adding features like editing existing reports or exporting data in different formats.
Budget & Timeline:
Budget: 150€
Timeline: [1 week]
Attachments:
[login to view URL] (PDF Template)
[Optional] Screenshots of the current application or form.
Ensure the table has basic styling such as borders and row shading. Implement page breaks before new sections. The dynamic table should have basic styling, including simple borders. Maintain PDF as the exclusive format for exporting reports. Include multilingual support for the PDF reports. Please integrate email functionality to send the generated PDFs to clients using PHPMailer or a similar library. Incorporate automated tests to ensure consistent and reliable PDF generation.
