Is there any good substitute to PDFLib (a PDF Library to use with PHP)? We don't want to pay several thousand euros for this software just because a few customers needs it. So my question, is there any good alternative out there?
 
Sadly not. I have been in contact with Thomas Merz from PDFLib and discussed this. The same goes for PDFLib Lite, that we need to buy a license.
 
I have already read the licensing details.
I will check fpdf out, thanks.
 
I get this error when I try to use FPDF:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 20971520 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 4864 bytes) in /var/www/html/pdf/fpdf.php on line 2

How can it be exhausted when it tries to allocate only 4864 bytes!?
 
20 MB of space for all php instances?

Hmm, is that enough for larger documents?
Never had trouble with it here (both using fpdf and pdflib)...
 
That's the amount of memory that one script may consume. Not every instances together.
The strange thing is that 4864 is less than 20971520 ...

*makes strange noise*
Doing too much stuff at the same time ;).

But I've seen this rise quite high before. Just checked, the server currently serving our own site has 20M, but I remember setting it higher on a few other servers...
