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

Everything is there.

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 ?

Well? Check your hoster - do they provide it or not?

I would think zlib is even more ubiquitous than gd; it's used all over
the place.

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?

Thank you,
Puiu
