You need to install PDFLib.
If installed, you need to load the module (in your php.ini)

I don't see why not, just create a page that will pull in the data and then
format it nicely

another option is FPDF from www.fpdf.org another class



the classes are nice since they don't generally require the module to be 
installed.



If you are on Linux, another option might be FOP...

  I checked out the first link you provided, and downloaded it. I don't

think I need to edit anything else from the file according to the

webpage http://www.digitaljunkies.ca/dompdf/install.php. I put the

entire extracted directory at my /var/www/html directory. Is there any

suggestion you could provide on how to "install" it? I don't see any commands 
that it provides in its manual.



Thanks for your help.
Its a class set of files, so there is no real install. I just placed the folder 
containing the class files in my dir and in the calling page, required() the 
main file. 



The dompdf.inc.php file is where i handle the filesystem links
Looks like the files I wanted to turn into PDF are not web pages, but most of 
them are text files. I am still hoping to use the function pdf_new to get this 
to work by assembling some modules. Is what I am trying to do here not possible?

Thanks for your help.

Its a class set of files, so there is no real install. I just placed the
folder containing the class files in my dir and in the calling page,
required() the main file.


The dompdf.inc.php file is where i handle the filesystem links

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.

I like dompdf from www.digitaljunkies.ca Its a class that takes html and 
creates a pdf from it

I saw online at http://us3.php.net/manual/en/pdf.installation.php that I could 
build PDF from some extension. However, I use Linux, and I don't think this 
installation using dll extension supports it. I ran the code and still get this 
error.




Any ideas?

Thanks for your help.
