Generating PDF

[paul]

Hi,

I'd like to generate PDF files from my Php website.
I've found PDFLib to make it... but i'd like to have your views.

It is the best I can find ?
Are there any other PDF generating lib ?
Is there a totally free PDF generating lib ?

Thanks in advance,

www.fpdf.org for starters ;-)

I think there exists another free pdf-classlib which is even more
powerfull, but I had good experience with fpdf.

Take a look at www.fpdf.org. We've had great results with it. If you want to
see just how complex you can get with fpdf go to http://www.jaya123.com, log
into DEMO (no personal info required) and click on Reports and look at some.

No. It has been asked before on the fpdf forum and TTTBOMK youcan't do this
with the existing fpdf set of classes.

However check the FAQ of www.fpdf.org as maybe this limitation has changed.
Actually, I don't know of any set of pdf classes that will let you do this.
Did you try PDFlib (or something like that)? Maybe that product will do what
you want.... although it is not open source and there would be some kind of a
fee to be paid I believe.
