black.horizons Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Couple of questions all rolled into one. What's the best method of generating PDFs? Is it by using the functions found on php.net ( http://uk3.php.net/pdf ), or is it by using another class found elsewhere e.g. PDFLib or FPDF ( http://www.fpdf.org/ ). Also i'm wondering on a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being the worst) how intensive is PDF generation, is it intensive enough to require it's own server, if this became a mass deployment ( > 5000 users ), or are the overheads small enough to keep it running on the webserver? I'd imagine the overheads are quite large, larger even than that of image generation using GD for example, but I'd like to know if anyone has any conclusive documentation out there that I could read.

DarkWater Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 The PDF library documented in the PHP manual is actually just PDFlib Lite, just to let you know. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/128588-pdf-generation/#findComment-666434 Share on other sites More sharing options...
