There may be a free one, or even an OpenSource one, but I've never heard of it, possibly because they'd have to pay a license to Adobe (Macromedia this week?) to be legal...Free (as in beer): http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator/ It's built on top of Ghostscript... which AFAIK does most of the heavy lifting. Several licensing options too. ...
You don't want to get to launch and find out 90% of the real PDFs simply don't work. :-(I've been using it for about 3 months with very few problems. In fact, I can't think of any problems that I've had with the library (but I don't use it with PHP... I just know that bindings are there for you to go do it yourself). -- NEW? | http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html STFA | http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general&w=2 STFM | http://php.net/manual/en/index.php STFW | http://www.google.com/search?q=php
