Hi, > We're trying to make these applications work on the new system, and I > have to say it's a can of worms. Yes, pdflib is a Mega-Can of worms. It has an very bad record of incompatible API changes, and the license is way off from a free License.

Of course you have to do that every time a security update comes out. Also you could try to build the pdflib support for PHP as a Module (you need to install the php-devel Package). > If you've got any cleaner way to deal with PHP/PDF, will you please let > me know ASAP? The cleanest way, but maybe very hard way depending on how well written you're php apps are is probably to change the apps to use FPDF instead. http://www.fpdf.org/ It's a PHP Class, so it doesn't a lib, just plain PHP, and its really free.
