PDF Functions

PHP provides functions that can be used to create Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) files on the fly. See http://www.pdflib.com/ for the required pdflib library and associated documentation.

ClibPDF is an alternate PDF generation library available at http://www.fastio.com. PHP also supports ClibPDF, with functions that begin with cpdf_ and are very similar to the regular pdf_ functions.
