I hadn't messed with PDFLib for a few months, but having run across the PC4P PHP class for building them, I decided to work with it some more. When I loaded up the examples, I got an "expired PDFLib" error message. So, I went to PDFLib.com like a good little developer to figure it out. They had a page detailing the fact that the PDFLib that is packaged with PHP expired in July as a result of beta code that was left in. They suggested that I download PDFLib 4.0.1 for PHP. So, I did. Unfortunately, all of the Windows binaries from PDFLib.com put a huge watermark across the entire page unless you buy a license. Typically, the binaries of the DLL from the PHP dev team are compiled from the source which is under a free license (albeit a strange one). However, the most recent stable binaries from php.net contain the time-bombed DLL. Is there a php_pdf.dll out there compiled from the free source with the time-bomb patch applied?
