HTML to PDF Conversion Software - Need a suggestion...

Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

I have several web applications that I have written that convert reports into PDF files. I used to use a software package called HTMLDOC, which was used to convert HTML files or text files into PDF files.

 

When I hosted my own server, I could install HTMLDOC and use a shell call to the software after my app converted the results into a temporary HTML file. HTMLDOC would take my file and convert it, using tags placed within the HTML file for page breaks, page titles, etc.

 

The only other software I have found that would work well is EasyPDF  at $1600. I can't afford that. There is another PHP library called FreePDF but it is cumbersome and would not be practicle.

 

Does anyone have any other suggestions, ideas or recommendations for PDF conversion software from HTML files?

 

Thanks in Advance!

Don't know if this will help with what you are wanting, but if you have PHP5 installed on your server you can use a FREE PDF package called: dompdf... I use it now, it works pretty well.

 

here is the website:
