PHP PDF Generator Advice [closed]

Question

Can anybody advise on the best PDF generator class/library to use with PHP? Preferably one which is maintained.

I am aware that this is a duplicate of the following question, however, the accepted answer is over 3 years old and I want to know whether the answer has changed since this time.

Which one is the best PDF-API for PHP?

Thank you

Answer 1

Try TCPDF, have good features http://www.tcpdf.org/examples.php

Also simple HTML to PDF Converter API in (PHP, C#, ASP.net C#, ASP VB.net, JAVA,...)

from "PDF CROWD" http://pdfcrowd.com/html-to-pdf-api/

very simple to use, but I think this API may need to purchase even they provide a free test account..

Answer 2

Have you tried http://www.PDFnow.com?

Provides a powerful template engine, and is pretty easy to use.

Supports complex layouts, layouts for multiple pages, invoices spreading separate pages, pagenumbers, headers, footers, etc. Definitively much better than fpdf.

You can simply integrate it into your PHP code by:

generatePdf(<templateName>, <ParameterArray>);

very straightforward.
