i read that is hosting does not allow such extension, we can not

components.
I created a component that should be able to generate PDF files quite
often as service for user.
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:

Everything is there.

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 ?
I would think zlib is even more ubiquitous than gd; it's used all over
the place.
and what about TCPDF librairy ?
have you already use it ?
how are its performances ?

I have had outstanding success with wkhtmltopdf:
https://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/
It's a self-contained standalone program that you can call from PHP. It
uses a full-bodied HTML interpreter based on Webkit. Highly recommended, I've
been using it for years. It's open source and free.
I should say, I've used the Linux version. It looks like there's a Windows
version, but I have no experience with that, if that's what you need.

I think that requires external libraries that are not part of a typical shared
hosting installation, which is what it sounds like the OP has.
I've used it before myself though , and aside from some oddities, works very
well.
Thanks,

At first I thought it was just like Y-slow which we already use, but that's
orthogonal to what we're trying to achieve by minimizing the code. Then this
caught my eye as we use both of these servers and any kind of automated module
is preferred over manually re-writing pages:
https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/mod
https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/ngx
thanks, I'll look into that as well.
