Sample PHP code for using PDFTron SDK to work with PDF page labels. PDF page labels can be used to describe a page, which is used to allow for non-sequential page numbering or the addition of arbitrary labels for a page (such as the inclusion of Roman numerals at the beginning of a book). Learn more about our PHP PDF Library and PDF Editing & Manipulation Library.

// The sample illustrates how to work with PDF page labels.
//
// PDF page labels can be used to describe a page. This is used to
// allow for non-sequential page numbering or the addition of arbitrary
// labels for a page (such as the inclusion of Roman numerals at the
// beginning of a book). PDFNet PageLabel object can be used to specify
// the numbering style to use (for example, upper- or lower-case Roman,
// decimal, and so forth), the starting number for the first page,
// and an arbitrary prefix to be pre-appended to each number (for
// example, "A-" to generate "A-1", "A-2", "A-3", and so forth.)
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PDFNet::Initialize($LicenseKey);
PDFNet::GetSystemFontList(); // Wait for fonts to be loaded if they haven't already. This is done because PHP can run into errors when shutting down if font loading is still in progress.

// Example 1: Add page labels to an existing or newly created PDF
// document.

$doc = new PDFDoc($input_path."newsletter.pdf");

// the document (page 1) and is using uppercase roman numbering
// style.
$L1 = PageLabel::Create($doc->GetSDFDoc(), PageLabel::e_roman_uppercase, "My Prefix ", 1);
$doc->SetPageLabel(1, $L1);
// Create a page labeling scheme that starts with the fourth page in
// the document and is using decimal Arabic numbering style.
// Also the numeric portion of the first label should start with number
// 4 (otherwise the first label would be "My Prefix 1").
$L2 = PageLabel::Create($doc->GetSDFDoc(), PageLabel::e_decimal, "My Prefix ", 4);
