I tried using the `.position` function from jQuery, but that doesn't work.
I have a HTML page which gets converted to a PDF document, on that document is a paragraph and a string inside.
I want to know how I can get the location in pixels of that string, but the `.position` function does not work for a PDF file, therefor it has to happen with PHP I think.
Sometimes a fail leads to the solution.

This is going to be super fun for you. /s
imagettfbbox or imagefontwidth/imagefontheight.

Did you even bother to read the thread?

And why something in DOM should be linked to the PHP?

I have tried it with jQuery already, but you can't get data from jQuery from a PDF file.

how about you don't be a cunt.
yes i did.
the only way you're going to do this is figure out the width and height of your text. yano, unless you decide to use phantomjs or something. you don't have a DOM server side.

offsetTop and offsetLeft.
document.getElementById('paragraph').offsetTop;
Oops, misread your post.
Not sure how you would go about reading a PDF file programatically. You're probably better off doing all the positioning before you create the PDF.
There is no way to do what you want in PHP, just properly define yout HTML before converting it into a PDF, or use a better way to do it (template?)

I can't, I am using PDFMaker which is a PDF template maker for vtiger CRM, so I have to work with that.
I can't edit the code of the module, I can only add custom function.
I will explain the problem a bit more in depth:
People need to be able to sign a document digitally, this is possible with Docusign, but in order to get that to work I need the X and Y axis of where the signature is supposed to go.

I appreciate any help you can give me.
