eits Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Hi, I am writing an application for job quotations and need to be able to print some kind of document once the quote has been compiled. I have tried a couple of tools to make HTML into PDF but as I am running this on a Windows box I am having BIG problems. Is there any way I can easily convert HTML to PDF without having to install external libraries and such? Can anybody else suggest an alternative? I'm new to PHP and this is doing my nut! Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottybwoy Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 A very basic method would be to just include a print type css for your html file. That way when you choose to print the html web page, it looks exactly how you styled it via css. You just use display: none; for the items on the page you don't want to print. Alternatively you can use very small pdf libs or classes (you can find a few on the web) that require very limited install procedures, if you don't want to download the pear library, which is generally more bulky but concise. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
