Description
FPDF is a PHP-based tool that enables the creation of PDF files directly through PHP, making it an alternative to the PDFlib library. The acronym FPDF stands for "free," indicating that it can be utilized and customized without restriction to meet various user requirements. This library functions without the need for additional PHP extensions, aside from Zlib for compression and GD for GIF functionality, and is compatible with PHP versions 5.1 and later, including PHP7 and PHP8. With a range of tutorials available, users can quickly learn to navigate FPDF effectively. Notably, FPDF supports the generation of documents in multiple languages beyond just Western European scripts, accommodating Central, Cyrillic, Greek, and Baltic languages, provided there are suitable TrueType or Type1 fonts available. Additionally, it offers support for UTF-8 encoding. While the document generation speed may not match that of PDFlib, it is still quite reasonable and sufficient for most applications unless specific document precision is required. This versatility makes FPDF a popular choice among developers looking for a straightforward PDF generation solution.
Description
Dompdf serves as a converter that transforms HTML into PDF format. At its core, it functions as a layout and rendering engine written in PHP, adhering primarily to CSS 2.1 standards. This style-driven renderer is capable of downloading and interpreting external stylesheets, as well as handling inline style tags and the styling attributes of specific HTML elements. Additionally, it accommodates a majority of presentational HTML attributes. Currently, PDF generation is achieved through either PDFLib or a modified version of the R&OS CPDF class, originally crafted by Wayne Munro, with several significant adjustments made to enhance its functionality. To utilize PDFLib with dompdf, the PDFLib PECL extension must be installed. While integrating PDFLib can enhance performance and slightly lessen the memory demands of dompdf, the R&OS CPDF class, albeit marginally slower, removes the need for any external PDF libraries. Dompdf also supports both local and remote external stylesheets accessed via HTTP or FTP. Moreover, it is capable of handling intricate tables, allowing for row and column spans, as well as separate or collapsed border models, along with the ability to style individual cells as needed. This versatility makes dompdf a robust choice for generating PDFs from HTML content.
