What PHP Library do you use for generating PDF files?

Question asked by Ghazanfar Mir 9 years ago

Hi,

Just out of interest, what library do you guys use to generate pdf files. This question is more related to the developers and I will really appreciate if you could share your experiences regarding the library you are using.

Thanks in advance

Hello Ghazanfar, we're using Prince (http://www.princexml.com/). It can generate PDF from HTML+CSS, quite handy :) I suggest to take a look at their documentation if you're interested in it. It's only free for non-commercial use though.

Thanks alot for your prompt response :)

Is there a reason you didn't consider other open source php libraries like fpdf, tcpdf?

I am actually working on a personal project which requires pdf generation for product catalogues. This catalogue may contain product images, specifications in various sections of the multi page document and I am looking into all possible options/libraries for this purpose.

It will really help me if you highlight key points of your experiences of using princexml and why not others?
