Re: Bug #11818 Updated: Using the PDF functions after July 1st triggers an internal PDFlib error

That is not true at all, if you bundle the PDF library with PHP releases on the Windows binary it starts being your problem too. I just went to pdflib.com and it seems to me that binary packages of pdflib for Windows have a demo / time limit. May I suggest to whoever packaged the Windows binary version of PHP to compile the source code of pdflib on Windows, so to create a limit free version of PDFlib ?
