Best way to create a PDF with PHP

I've been reading up on creating a PDF file with PHP and am wondering what the easiest option is.

  • Create a PDF template, open it and replace placeholder text -- which function do I use to open an existing PDF for editing?

  • Create a PDF template and place text on it using co-ordinates

  • Create a HTML document then convert it to PDF using some sort of free tool?

  • Create a PDF from scratch using PHP (this seams like a time consuming way to do it).


  • The one that i know of as being best is the FPDF. It is great open-source solution for creating all sorts of PDF layouts. Thanks

    See FPDF tutorials
    And scripts


    If you want very advanced features in PDF creation then try TCPDF . If you want just minimal features of PDF creation and want a smaller in size class then try FPDF .

    The following link has an article describing these two PDF generating class libraries: Easily create PDF with PHP


    Time consuming but best results.. I use Fpdf

    I have also had some success with html2pdf which tries to convert html to a pdf document.
