About FPDF is a solution written in PHP that allows you to generate PDF documents directly from PHP, so you can use the PDFlib library. The F of FPDF means free, so you can use it for any purpose and modify it to your liking to satisfy your needs. FPDF does not need any extension for PHP (except Zlib to enable compression and GD for GIF support) and works with PHP5 (≥ 5.1), PHP7 and PHP8. The tutorials will allow you to quickly access FPDF. FPDF generates documents in many other languages apart from the Western European ones, like Central, Cyrillic, Greek and Baltic, if they have TrueType or Type1 sources with the set of appropriate characters. UTF-8 is also available. The speed of generation of a document is less than that of PDFlib. Without the resentment, however, is very reasonable and is adequate for the majority of cases, unless its documents are specifically compiled or extended.
