I am trying to use the pdf_new function to create pdfs from existing text files, but I get this error PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function pdf_new() I have noticed that when I run the phpinfo() command, I cannot find the PDF phrase at all. My php.ini file does not even have these two lines extension=php_pdf.dll extension=php_cpdf.dll Could anyone suggest me what kind of command I should use if I need to build PDFs using PHP on a Linux system? Thanks in advance. Alice _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself with gadgets on Windows Live Spaces http://discoverspaces.live.com?source=hmtag1&loc=us I like dompdf from www.digitaljunkies.ca Its a class that takes html and creates a pdf from it I saw online at http://us3.php.net/manual/en/pdf.installation.php that I could build PDF from some extension. However, I use Linux, and I don't think this installation using dll extension supports it. I ran the code and still get this error. Any ideas? Thanks for your help.

If you are on Linux, another option might be FOP... http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/ I checked out the first link you provided, and downloaded it. I don't think I need to edit anything else from the file according to the webpage http://www.digitaljunkies.ca/dompdf/install.php. I put the entire extracted directory at my /var/www/html directory. Is there any suggestion you could provide on how to "install" it? I don't see any commands that it provides in its manual. Thanks for your help.
