    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.
