PDF Extensions
PHP has several libraries for generating PDF documents. This chapter shows how to use the popular fpdf library. The FPDF library is a set of PHP code you include in your scripts with the require function, so it doesn’t require any server-side configuration or support, meaning you can use it even without support from your host.
The basic concepts of the structure and features of a PDF file should be common to all the pdf libraries, however. This library (FPDF) is available at http://www.fpdf.org.
