" The PDF functions in PHP can create PDF files using the PDFlib library created by Thomas Merz.
...
Requisiti

PDFlib is available for download at http://www.pdflib.com/products/pdflib/index.html, but requires that you purchase a license for commercial use. The JPEG and TIFF libraries are required to compile this extension.
Issues with older versions of PDFlib

Any version of PHP 4 after March 9, 2000 does not support versions of PDFlib older than 3.0.

PDFlib 3.0 or greater is supported by PHP 3.0.19 and later.
Installazione

To get these functions to work, you have to compile PHP with --with-pdflib[=DIR]. DIR is the PDFlib base install directory, defaults to /usr/local. In addition you can specify the jpeg, tiff, and pnglibrary for PDFlib to use, which is optional for PDFlib 4.x. To do so add to your configure line the options --with-jpeg-dir[=DIR] --with-png-dir[=DIR] --with-tiff-dir[=DIR].

When using version 3.x of PDFlib, you should configure PDFlib with the option --enable-shared-pdflib. "
