Why would you convert them to PDF on the fly??? If you wanted to show
really hi-res images, yes PDF would result in *slightly* smaller files, in
*some cases*, but for standard web stuff, why not consider the humble
compressed JPG? Whatever format, the file is gonna be huge if they're
trying to read a scan of a magazine page...!
As far as the PDF thing goes, I would generate your PDFs on your desktop
machine, and load them onto the site via FTP -- there is no point generating
PDFs on the on-the-fly if the content is static (ie, you'll only ever need
to generate it once).
Plus, you'll need PDFlib, not GD for that.

Hi all,
One of my customers needs to show magazine newspapers reviews of his
work, which are scanned in such a low res due to a file size matter, that
the images are not quite readable. Can I convert large size images to pdf
with PHP in order to show them faster on-the-fly? Will this be better? Is
there another quick and easy solution?
BTW, I do have access to GD lib if this should matter.
Thanks in advance,
César Aracena
