Hi,
I have to create some flyers and invoices (simple stuff) in one my
project. On php.net/pdf is mentioned PDFLib, but I know there is a free
solution too. It's commercial and can't have PDFLib for free.
My questions are:
- Is really $450 for PDFLib worth comparing to free solution? (I need for
really simple stuff)
- Is there a difference (look and programming) and how big it is,
between PDFLib and free solution?

Could you please give me some directions?

Thanks.

For simple and simple-complex ones very good.
No EPS and PS support though.

Take a look at http://ros.co.nz/pdf/.

It hasn't been updated for awhile, but it works great as is.  I'm using
it to generate nametags and reports in various applications.

I used this solution at the beginning. It seemed very flexible, but at the end 
it wasn't. And for 3 years there are no... updates made(I think). So... I 
switched to fpdf.org which is very nice and easy to use. Also additional 
classes are supported and they suit for a lot of needs. 

BUT if you need very complicated pdf documents(with javascript and much 
scripting in it)... then I don't know what class to suggest. 

Andy.

ezPDF (http://www.ros.co.nz/pdf/) worked well for me so far. Sadly, the code
has been updated for a while now!

Here is a sample:

I second the vote for ezPDF.  I use it here, and it works great.
