Answer 1

framework.zend.com/manual/1.11/en/zend.pdf.html

Answer 2

In addition to zend, I also use www.tcpdf.org/ I
also like it. In my opinion, for simple tasks it is simpler.

Answer 3

I recently had to do some research on this topic.
html2pdf
is the most functional, but the speed of generating a "complex page" is 30s, the file size is 1mB
the fastest - - it compiles for any axis, there is a wrapper for PHP, the time for the same page is < 1c, the file size is 60kb, one minus - there is no support for UTF- eight

Answer 4

First, read this topic: habrahabr.ru/blogs/sysadm/113928/
Then install and use: code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/
Advantages of the approach: real rendering. I used html2pdf, but it tries to draw HTML itself through reportlab's library (like pypdf can do it too). As a result, there are a lot of graphical glitches, and the designer got on quite a few nerves.
However, if the layout is very simple, then your own renders will do. But then you are not immune from rendering glitches at the most inopportune moment.

Answer 5

Try the mPDF library

Answer 6

We use mpdf in three projects www.mpdf1.com/mpdf/ We like it

Answer 7

We use pdf4b.ru , we send GET from HTML we get PDF, everything is correct
