Description

Create PDFs dynamically from scratch by leveraging code, XML/XSL, or a combination of both techniques. At the core of TallPDF.NET is a straightforward and cohesive object model which includes layout classes such as document, section, text paragraph, table, header, footer, and more. The paragraph class has various specializations that allow for drawing capabilities, enabling the creation of different shapes like lines, bezier curves, and barcodes. You can utilize pens and brushes to create outlines and fills for these shapes. Instead of constructing a Document entirely through code, you have the option to partially load it using XML. Typically, XSL is used to convert a specific XML schema into XML that TallPDF.NET can process. Each page can be enhanced with headers and footers that adhere to designated page characteristics, including first, odd, even, and last pages. Furthermore, you can incorporate dynamic elements such as the current page number and the overall page count. Within a section, you can add tables, populate them with rows, and fill each row with cells that can contain any paragraph. You also have the ability to define various attributes such as spacings, margins, borders, and backgrounds, ensuring that your final document is both functional and visually appealing. This flexibility allows developers to create tailored PDF solutions that meet specific needs.

Description

mPDF is a PHP library designed to create PDF documents from HTML that is encoded in UTF-8. It builds upon the foundations of FPDF and HTML2FPDF while incorporating various enhancements. Though it tends to be slower than its predecessors, such as HTML2FPDF, and results in larger file sizes when using Unicode fonts, it offers features like CSS styling and other improvements. Despite its advantages, mPDF is considered somewhat outdated, and there are now more advanced alternatives available that are not PHP-based. If you find yourself limited to PHP for PDF generation or wish to utilize mPDF's unique features, such as color management, barcode support, and customizable headers and footers, it may still be a viable option. However, keep in mind that designing an HTML/CSS template specifically for mPDF might be essential for optimal results. For the best CSS support and the ability to replicate existing HTML pages in PDF format, using headless Chrome is recommended. mPDF is expected to continue receiving updates to improve its internal functions and maintain compatibility with newer PHP versions, ensuring it remains a relevant option for developers.
