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.

[PHP] Re: generate onfly PDF
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.

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

Cheers, tedd 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 ? -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] PECL-Haru and UTF-8
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?
