Have a look at fpdf, its a class that doesn't need any special server-side 
support. Its basic, but is pretty good.

Thanks,

Ash is right, here's an example I provide my students:

http://rebel.lcc.edu/sperlt/citw185/examples/pdf/

Everything is there.

Cheers,

i read that is hosting does not allow such extension, we can not
generate PDF, so i would rather get a solution without such library.

Moreover i'm searching a solution free and that i can supply with my
web
components.
I created a component that should be able to generate PDF files quite
often as service for user.

AFAIK fpdf needs zlib and gd extensions.
gd extension is almost everywhere enabled as extension, however i'm not sur zlib is enabled on most of servers...

What do you think about that ?

Al.

Well?  Check your hoster - do they provide it or not?

I would think zlib is even more ubiquitous than gd; it's used all over
the place.

Hello,

Does anyone have experience with using Haru extension for creating
PDF files containing UTF-8 encoded characters? I saw that UTF-8 encoding
was added to libHaru 2.3.0RC1 ( see http://libharu.org/ ), but I did
not find support for this in latest PECL-Haru (1.0.4). Am I missing
something?

Thank you,
Puiu
