jcombs_31 Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 I've never had the need to generate pdfs from php until now. I've come across fpdf and tcpdf. I just wanted to know if anyone here has experience with either and which is better in your opinion. Pros/Cons.

zq29 Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 I've used FPDF before, and although it does the job, it's a pain in the arse I think. Although, I haven't come across a straight forward one - They're all a case of messing with boxes and coordinates from what I can gather. These days, I do all of my dynamic PDF generation with Perl, using the PDF::API2 module - I find it a lot easier than pissing around in PHP.

jcombs_31 Posted September 29, 2009 Author Share Posted September 29, 2009 Thanks, I think I'll look over some examples and try to determine which one looks easier and go from there. I don't need anything very complex, but in my brief reading it did look like you have to punch in coordinates.
