I have used pdflib EXTENSIVELY for over a year. I develop products for a
company who sells web based tools that allow medium/large corporations to
automate the creation of advertising materials. These tools are used by the
companies dealers and franchieses. We chose pdflib because of a few unique
capabilities it had when working with fonts and other strict standards in
the printing world. FPDF,CLIBPDF(I think) and a few others were not as
advanced at the time either. My other concern was that I wanted to go with a
stable company. I plan on revisiting these as they showed fairly good
promise last year, but I haven't investigated them much since.
Depending on your project requirements, it is possible to find a web host that
has pdflib capabilities.
