According to php.net, if you've installed PHP5 (which I assume is the case, since you used Yum to install it), you should not be using the pdf_new() function, but instead use the OO version: $pdf = new pdflib(); All this assumes that the PDFLib extension is actually installed. The documentation at php.net is a little confusing about whether this is an actual extension or not. Personally, I just install the add-on for this. Paul -- Paul M.
