You can also check-out the source for BambooInvoice - a great example of how to make PDFs (if I remember correctly it uses views to do so).

There are extensions built into some PHP installs, but in general you'll need a library. Did you look at the sources offered above, I think you'll find they're a good direction for you.

lol.. I change my lines it into
Code:
pdf_set_parameter($pdf, 'FontOutline', 'Arial=/home/rnbtaekw/public_html/Font/arial.ttf');
$arial = pdf_findfont($pdf, "Arial", "host", 1);pdf invert the Y coordinates ( bottom pages = (y=0) ),
and also I cant overwrite it..
I want to create report.pdf that can be overwritten ( changes every times I create new report ). Consist of some pages (if it has alot of records).
How can I overwrite my pdf files, and create new pages with it. Thanks.
