Those are bad news unfortunatelly. But I suppose the newest FPDI version 
can work with TCPDF 3.x, they didn't say it doesn't. So maybe I could try. 
But since my object programming knowledge is not so good, I have been 
struggling with this for hours. 

Here is what I have found untill now:

FPDI is using a kind of bridge class for remapping TCPDF to FPDF. So if 
you load TCPDF, then bridge class extends TCPDF (the trick is to remap to 
FPDF again by setting "class FPDF extends PDF") and then FPDF_TPL extends 
bridge class. This way, you can use one class for both TCPDF and FPDF.

Now, how to implement p.mapper PDF class into all this? I have thought 
about setting bridge class to extend PDF class instead of TCPDF class, 
something like:

FPDI class
  |
FPDF_TPL class
  |
bridge class
  | 
p.mapper PDF class
  |
TCPDF class

but I don't know if this is the right way. If I include

require_once('tcpdf.php');
require_once('fpdi.php');

in pdfprint.php then bridge class cannot extend PDF class because it is 
not defined yet...

Anyway, I am pretty weak on this but I suppose the solution is simple. If 
you point me to right direction, I am sure I can try using FPDI with TCPDF 
versioin3.x and if/when I make it work I can write a short Howto so maybe 
someone else can benefit :-)

thanks very much
