I'm trying to add images on top of an existing PDF.

The pdf contains a blank grid, I am writing a script that will insert images on top of the PDF and output a new modified PDF file.

I am using FPDI and TCPDF libraries to load and edit the PDF file.

Any image or text i try to add using Write(); and Image(); functions does not appear anywhere in the Output file.

This script works without problems! Expecting that all resources are accessible. The MultiCell call looks something special but as you'd used single quotes at least the string $pdf will appear in the resulting document. Furthermore the header() is obsolete too. Make sure that your PHP file is saved without a BOM to get rid of the ob_clean() call, too.

Generally it should be a good practice to define a font and size before writing any text but it seems that TCPDF handles this internally by a standard font for you.

Also make sure that you are using the latest version of both FPDI and TCPDF.
