Possible Duplicates:
Convert HTML + CSS to PDF with PHP?
I am working with my new project. I want to generate a new PDF file with the help of PHP code.
How can I do this? Do you any have any ideas?
You can try free libraries like fPdf
FPDF is a PHP class which allows to
generate PDF files with pure PHP, that
is to say without using the PDFlib
library. F from FPDF stands for Free:
you may use it for any kind of usage
and modify it to suit your needs.
Look into Zend_PDF from Zend Framework - it allows you to create/manipulate PDFs.
Use Zend_PDF I guess.
Check the documentation here:
http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.pdf.html
It's the best PDF generator for PHP IMO.

I want to know how to convert document file to pdf using php or codeigniter.
If anyone have any idea about the same please let me know.
To complete this, I would recommend two libraries. The first (I have not used), as Word documents are not plaintext, you will need to be able to read the Word doc. For this, try PHPWord. This appears to have been used in other projects for the purpose of reading Word docs (and creating them).
Secondly, converting to PDF use FPDF, this library I have a lot of experience. It's been around a long time so there is some great examples and documentation. It doesn't take long to figure out but does require a bit of playing around to get the PDF doc looking exactly as you like. If you need any additional info using this library, give me a shout. But both of these should help you. FPDF can also be very easily converted to a Codeigniter library. I used it in a CiBonfire application before.

I'm on a basic Apache with no extensions apart from default enabled and I want to create a PDF file from the current page.
The current page is PHP echoing out some variables but I want to create a PDF document from the HTML and text currently shown on the page.
Something like WHMCS quote system.
You could use a third party solution such as:
http://pdfcrowd.com/
http://www.web2pdfconvert.com/
http://html-pdf-converter.com/
I'd recommend pdfcrowd.com - it has an API that you can use and i've used the service before and not had any problems.
Look into FPDF, TCPDF, DomPDF, or any other PHP PDF library.
FPDF is very lightweight, and could be perfect for you if you are just echoing out variables.
TCPDF is much more HTML->PDF in terms of syles and css features, but the file size is a bit bigger. It could be used to easily build invoices and make them look nice.
I haven't used DomPDF personally, so I won't comment on it, but it can get the job done.
Take a look at FPDF.
It is a free libary for generating .pdf documents within php.
I've used TCPDF to create a PDF from HTML. I think DOMPDF also does that
you have a few options:
http://php.net/manual/en/book.pdf.php
FPDF: http://www.fpdf.org/
TCPDF: http://www.tcpdf.org/
DOMPDF: http://code.google.com/p/dompdf/
BTW: Convert HTML + CSS to PDF with PHP?
You can also check dompdf . It creates pdf FROM HTML ! it could be more appropriate for your request but I personally prefer FPDF (CSS make me sometimes crazy with domdf :-) )
The only pure PHP solution I've tested is mPDF and it worked pretty well for my purpose. It takes HTML/CSS input at generates a PDF from that.
It requires a lot of memory so you'll have to increase the memory limit for the script. The settings that worked for me were:
ini_set('memory_limit', '1024M');
ini_set('pcre.backtrack_limit', 2000000);

What's the fastest, cleanest and best way to export from PHP a webpage (given URL) into PDF?
Hard. You wont be able to convert HTML to PDF just like that without any manipulation. One shot may be using mPDF, but that probabliy won't satisfy your needs, since it has limited HTML functionality.
The other way would be making a screenshot of a webpage and including it in PDF document, but you'll need specialized software, or at least libray. Read further on that topic.
You can go for TCPDF.
dompdf is an HTML to PDF converter. At its heart, dompdf is (mostly) CSS 2.1 compliant HTML layout and rendering engine written in PHP domPdf

I was searching for a way to convert HTML to PDF, but all I found was very limited.
There are plenty of issues you need to address, which you have failed to do so. Does it need to support advanced table structures, css support etc. As a start you can look into html2pdf or a paid solution PrinceXML
If you can use printing, you may try using the FreePDF XP printer driver.
It uses GhostScript, so a library for it, if you want to do it programatically, may also do the trick.
