    FPDF Reviews

    FPDF

    FPDF

    Free
    FPDF is a PHP solution that allows you to create PDF documents directly from PHP. FPDF stands for free. You can use it for whatever purpose you like and make any modifications to suit your needs. FPDF doesn't require any PHP extension (except Zlib to enable compression or GD for GIF support). It works with PHP5 (>= 5.1), PHP7, and PHP8. FPDF can be accessed quickly using the tutorials. FPDF can generate documents in many languages other than the Western European ones like Central, Cyrillic and Greek, provided they have TrueType or Type1 sources that contain the appropriate characters. UTF-8 is also possible. PDFlib is slower than UTF-8 in terms of speed of creating a document. However, the speed of generating a document without the resentment is very reasonable and adequate for most cases, except when its documents are specifically compiled, extended, or modified.

    mPDF Reviews

    mPDF

    mPDF

    Free
    mPDF is a PHP library which generates PDF files using UTF-8 encoded HTML. It is based upon HTML2FPDF and FPDF, but has many enhancements. It runs slower than the original scripts, e.g. HTML2FPDF is slower than the original scripts. However, it produces larger files when using Unicode fonts. It also supports CSS styles and has been greatly enhanced. mPDF is a very old software. There are better alternatives, even though they are not written in PHP. If you are unable to use a non-PHP method to generate PDF files, or if you want to take advantage of some of the advantages of mPDF over a browser approach, such as color handling, preprint, barcodes support and headers and footers, TOCs, TOCs, TOCs, headers, footers, page numbering, TOCs etc. An HTML/CSS template that is specifically designed for mPDF may be required. Headless Chrome is the best choice if you want to use state-of-the art CSS support and mirror existing HTML pages to PDF. mPDF will continue to be updated to improve some internal capabilities and support newer PHP versions.
