How to Convert CSV to PDF in PHP

CSV is an easy-to-read and easy-to-change text data format, which makes it important to save CSV files in different document formats when content security is a top priority. Using the below PHP code examples, you can easily implement an API which seamlessly converts CSV files to PDF format, enabling you to subsequently password protect and encrypt that data as you see fit.

To implement this API, first run this command:

composer require cloudmersive/cloudmersive_document_convert_api_client

Then, structure your API call with the remaining code examples below. To satisfy the $config API key requirement, head to our website and register a free account (this allows a limit of up to 800 API calls per month with no additional commitments):

<?php
require_once(__DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php');

// Configure API key authorization: Apikey
$config = Swagger\Client\Configuration::getDefaultConfiguration()->setApiKey('Apikey', 'YOUR_API_KEY');



$apiInstance = new Swagger\Client\Api\ConvertDocumentApi(
    
    
    new GuzzleHttp\Client(),
    $config
);
$input_file = "/path/to/inputfile"; // \SplFileObject | Input file to perform the operation on.

try {
    $result = $apiInstance->convertDocumentCsvToPdf($input_file);
    print_r($result);
} catch (Exception $e) {
    echo 'Exception when calling ConvertDocumentApi->convertDocumentCsvToPdf: ', $e->getMessage(), PHP_EOL;
}
?>

After that, you’re all done. To easily facilitate PDF password protection and encryption after this operation, you can use one of our EditPDF API iterations directly following this conversion operation.
