More info:
In the PDF I currently generated, I can select specific portion of texts by highlighting it using the mouse. In the PDF I should generate, I should not be able to select portion of texts because the texts is already an image. So the PDF I should generate contains an image, and the image contains the texts.
You could generate a png first using phpgd / ImageMagick then shove it through dompdf
