[PHP] Re: generate onfly PDF

2013-05-05 Thread Tim Behrendsen

I have had outstanding success with wkhtmltopdf:

https://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/

It's a self-contained standalone program that you can call from PHP. It
uses a full-bodied HTML interpreter based on Webkit. Highly recommended, I've 
been using it for years. It's open source and free.

I should say, I've used the Linux version. It looks like there's a Windows 
version, but I have no experience with that, if that's what you need.

Hi,

Is there a solution to generate onfly PDF from HTML page, and from data

user typed in form (let's say like a template) without using PECL ?
i read that is hosting does not allow such extension, we can not
generate PDF, so i would rather get a solution without such library.

Moreover i'm searching a solution free and that i can supply with my
web
components.
I created a component that should be able to generate PDF files quite
often as service for user.

thx

Al.

I think that requires external libraries that are not part of a typical shared 
hosting installation, which is what it sounds like the OP has. 

I've used it before myself though , and aside from some oddities, works very 
well.

Thanks,
