PHP：生成PDF文档。 如何创建模板？

Question

i have found this tutorial to generate a pdf.

In that tutorial there is this kind of code:

// list headers
$pdf->CreateTextBox('Quantity', 0, 120, 20, 10, 10, 'B', 'C');
$pdf->CreateTextBox('Product or service', 20, 120, 90, 10, 10, 'B');
$pdf->CreateTextBox('Price', 110, 120, 30, 10, 10, 'B', 'R');
$pdf->CreateTextBox('Amount', 140, 120, 30, 10, 10, 'B', 'R');

Should i write this kind of code by hand or there is any app (word processor, vectorial graphics app, what ever) where I can draw the template (size of the cells, colors, etc) of the pdf document first?

I have already created the invoice for the web using HTML/CSS.

Is my first time generating PDF documents so any advise will be wellcome.

There aren't any resources to create PDF templates for you - but you might want to look into wkhtmltopdf - which will let you convert your HTML invoices to PDFs (without needing to generate the PDF yourself).
