PDF Maker
am 06.04.2006 19:19:34 von John
I am looking for some software to create pdfs dynamically from php
pages.
Pages are php driven with mysql data tables which will be picked up.
Top and side menus are inserted into the page using includes and won't
appear in the pdf. Must be easy to configure, be able to use css,
recognise standard html features and also watermarks, headers, footers
and all the other paraphernalia to make it look good. Building a new
page using output buffering would be an ideal solution.
Does anyone have a favourite package or know of one. Not looking for a
freebie necessarily but happy to pay up to a few hundred pounds if
required.
I have searched the web, before anyone asks, but there doesn't seem to
be much out there.
Thanks John

Thanks for the suggestion but this seems to be a pdf page maker rather
than a converter (perhaps I should have been clearer). I already have
over 100 pages created from a mysql database. I don't really want to
create pdf commands to do the conversion at this stage.
>or google "php pdf" to find other solutions.
I have been Googling using those keywords and others for hours with no
luck, that's why I posted here.
Thanks again. Any other suggestion welcome.
John

Saw you were looking for a 'converter' -- good luck on that!
If you decide you want to give the commands, we have some examples
of PDF creation, including source and a little tutorial at
http://www.thebook-demo.com/php
Hope that helps.

htmldoc can produce pdfs's from html3.0 ok. But you end up having to
alter the html a little to get the best results.

Thanks John but the site (>100 pages) is nearly complete.
Not having much luck with a decent converter though, even to buy.

OpenOffice can open HTML files and produce PDF files. Maybe you could
somehow automate it.

Thanks fletch.
Their demo sort of works but no support for CSS.

We use a package called "dompdf" which may help you.
