FPDF - Extending the Class
#11

[eluser]ImageSmith[/eluser]
Hi Jonathon,
Thanks for that. I am actually using DOMPDF already (thanks Derek for putting the pi together) and love it.
Unfortunately the doc that I am trying to generate is a few pages in length and DOMPDF is doing a crash and burn - using up all available memory. I read somewhere in a post here that someone had a similar issue and DOMPDF was using 180M of memory (sheesh!).
I have used FPDF in the past and found it a tedious process for complex documents. Was hoping that someone may have figured a PDF implementation that doesn't max the memory and is possibly css friendly.

TCPDF does have a function for putting HTML in a PDF, but the HTML support is very, very basic and I have not tested CSS but support for that is probably nonexistent.

TCPDF is absolutely a pain to use. You have to spell everything out in detail. Generating tables and managing page overflow is tedious. Next time I need to generate a PDF, I'm going to use the R&OS;PDF library which looks very promising.

Hi Alto,
There are quite a few threads around the forum that provide examples of how to use FPDF.
Have you tried a search on FPDF?
Also there is a post in the news section that discusses this subject
