user typed in form (let's say like a template) without using PECL ? i read that is hosting does not allow such extension, we can not generate PDF, so i would rather get a solution without such library. Moreover i'm searching a solution free and that i can supply with my web components. I created a component that should be able to generate PDF files quite often as service for user.

Have a look at fpdf, its a class that doesn't need any special server-side support. Its basic, but is pretty good. Thanks, Ash

Ash is right, here's an example I provide my students: http://rebel.lcc.edu/sperlt/citw185/examples/pdf/ Everything is there. Cheers, tedd

AFAIK fpdf needs zlib and gd extensions. gd extension is almost everywhere enabled as extension, however i'm not sur zlib is enabled on most of servers... What do you think about that ?

I would think zlib is even more ubiquitous than gd; it's used all over the place.

and what about TCPDF librairy ? have you already use it ? how are its performances ?
