Here is how I added a dashed line to my pdf.  I couldn't find any info on this, so I decided to write what I learned from trial and error.



On a page that is 612px wide and signified by $p, I drew a dashed line from left to right.

$p = pdf_new();

pdf_begin_document($p,"","");

pdf_begin_page_ext($p,612,792,"");



pdf_setdash($p,3,7);      //3,7 can be any set of numbers

pdf_save($p);                //This saves what already there

pdf_moveto($p,0,700);   //move the pointer here

pdf_lineto($p,612,700);      //draw a line

pdf_closepath_stroke($p);  //show the line

pdf_restore($p);               //put it all back



pdf_end_page_ext($p,"");

pdf_end_document($p,"");



$buf = pdf_get_buffer($p);

$len = strlen($buf);

header("Content-type: application/pdf");

header("Content-Length: $len");

header("Content-Disposition: inline; filename=hello.pdf");

print $buf;
