I would like to know if there is a way to generate pdf when clicking on a link. In fact, I would like to be able to click on a link and generate a pdf file with information from my database, say a profile of a client for example or an invoice.
I was able to generate a pdf using a basic tutorial. Here is the code: Code: <?php $mypdf = PDF_new(); PDF_open_file($mypdf, ""); PDF_begin_page($mypdf, 595, 842); $myfont = PDF_findfont($mypdf, "Times-Roman", "host", 0); PDF_setfont($mypdf, $myfont, 10); PDF_show_xy($mypdf, "Sample PDF, constructed by PHP in real-time.", 50, 750); PDF_show_xy($mypdf, "Made with the PDF libraries for PHP.", 50, 730); PDF_end_page($mypdf); PDF_close($mypdf);
PDF_delete($mypdf); ?> But 1) it's seems to be pretty hard to have something that looks nice if I have to specify each item it location with X and Y 2) I have in the middle of the page: www.pdflib.com. I guess I have to pay for a licence to get rid of that but I went to the website and it's kind of expensive for me.
Do you know how an easier way to generate a pdf from my website and without having this "www.pdflib.com"? Is there another script out there or another lib?
