Alessandro Nuzzo has just published a great introduction about Zend_Service_LiveDocx. If you are able to read Italian take a look at the following:

Mi capita spesso di dover generare dinamicamente dei file PDF o DOC. Alla ricerca di una soluzione che mi facilitasse il lavoro mi sono imbattuto in LiveDocx, un servizio basato su SOAP che permette di generare dei documenti partendo da dei template creati con un word processor. Solitamente quando devo generare dei PDF utilizzo 2 approcci: o l’”HTML-to-PDF Approach” oppure il “Programmatic Approach”.

Zend_Service_LiveDocx vs. odtphp by Julien Pauli

Please note: This blog post is for our French-speaking readers only.

Julien Pauli has just published a great commentary about Zend_Service_LiveDocx, comparing it to his library odtphp. If you are able to read French take a look at the following:

Voila quelques temps j’ai sorti odtphp, un script PHP qui analyse des fichiers odt à la recherche de “tags” et qui les remplace par des données que vous fournissez.
C’est très pratique pour générer des factures ou d’autres documents basés sur un template odt et une source de données type MySQL.

Letztens stand ich vor der Herausforderung, eine PDF-Klasse zu schreiben, die PDF-Dateien erzeugt. Als Inhalt für die PDF Dateien waren sensible Kundendaten angedacht. Diese Anforderung war mir nicht fremd, jedoch konnte ich mich gut daran erinnern, dass sie mit viel Arbeit verbunden war. Die meisten Libraries bieten nur die Möglichkeit, die PDF-Dateien Zeile pro Zeile zu generieren Je nachdem woher man die Daten dafür beschaffen muss, kann sich dies zu einem...

Migrating from Tis_ to Zend_Service_LiveDocx

The first implementation of LiveDocx in PHP was in a family of classes called Tis_Service_LiveDocx. It was necessary to give the classes the prefix Tis_ as the Zend Framework coding standards allow the prefix Zend_ to be used only for classes, which are part of the official Zend Framework.

As of the first alpha version of Zend Framework 1.10, the functionality of Tis_Service_LiveDocx is available directly in the Zend Framework in Zend_Service_LiveDocx.

As of today, the use of Tis_Service_LiveDocx is deprecated. Instead use Zend_Service_LiveDocx.

With the exception of the constructor, the API of Zend_Service_LiveDocx is 100% backward compatible to that of Tis_Service_LiveDocx.

At the wish of the Zend Framework community, the constructor was updated from:

LiveDocx is now in Zend Framework 1.10.0 Beta 1

You can now download the first beta version of the Zend Framework that contains Zend_Service_LiveDocx. The final stable version will be released in the next few days.

Please go to the download section of ZendFramework.com and download Zend Framework 1.10.0 Beta 1 Full.

The paths to the demonstration applications and documentation remain the same as listed in the previous post.

Maintaining LiveDocx Backend Server

The backend server guys have just published an official maintenance schedule in their blog:

In these maintenance windows, the backend service will not be available. Usually, the downtime is only a few minutes.

LiveDocx is now in Zend Framework 1.10 Alpha

You can now download the first alpha version of the Zend Framework that contains Zend_Service_LiveDocx. The final stable version is marked for release on January 26, 2010.

Please go to the download section of ZendFramework.com and download Zend Framework 1.10.0 Alpha Full.

The paths to the demonstration applications and documentation remain the same as listed in the previous post.

Migrated to Zend Framework Standard Trunk

In the next step of phpLiveDocx becoming a part of the official Zend Framework distribution file, I am delighted to announce that the code has now arrived in the Zend Framework Standard Trunk repository. This is the last step before it becomes part of the distribution file.

Using Subversion (SVN) you can anonymously checkout the Standard Trunk repository:

You can find Zend_Service_LiveDocx_* at the following locations:

I would like to thank Matthew...
