Unfortunately there hasn't been anyone else adding the textBox feature to the PHP CPDF functions, so I had to it. ;)
in order to get a cpdf_textbox function, so that you don't have to call the cpdf_text function for every single line of text you want to print.
patch: http://mpex.net/software/mirror/cpdf_patch
Then recompile php with cpdf support and use the new function.
It has to be called in between the cpdf_begin_text and cpdf_end_text tags
cpdf_textbox(int pdfdoc, double x-koor, double y-koor, double width, double height, double angle, double linespace, string text [, int alignmode [, float paragraphspacing [, int newlinemode]]]);
Notes:
Alignmode aligns the text within the box:
0 -- left (default)
1 -- center
2 -- right
3 -- justify
Newline mode:
if non-zero, NL ("\n") is a line break, if 0 reformatted (default 0)
Have fun with it. It works great for me. ;)

The optional parameter alignmode is defined as follows:<br>
0 -- lower left
1 -- lower middle
2 -- lower right
3 -- middle left
4 -- middle middle
5 -- middle right
6 -- upper left
7 -- upper middle
8 -- upper right<br>
The alignment is with respect to the (x,y) coordinates of the text.
'lower left' means the lower left corner of the text is at point (x,y).
Try them out with coordinates (0,0) to get a feel for them.
