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.

About

pdfRest is a REST API for high-volume PDF processing, built on the Adobe PDF Library. Call it from any language to convert, generate, extract, secure, and prepare PDFs in production pipelines, chaining calls by passing a resource ID between steps. Convert Office, HTML, images, email, and Markdown to PDF, and PDF to Word, Excel, PowerPoint, images, Markdown, PDF/A, PDF/X, and PostScript. Generate PDFs from scratch with text, images, shapes, and attachments, with accessibility tagging. Extract via OCR, text/image extraction, form data, metadata, AI summarization, translation. Secure with signing, encryption, restrictions, watermarking, two-step redaction, and TDM Reserve to opt out of AI training. Handle prepress: color conversion, transparency flattening, page boxes, rasterization. Manage forms: import/export, flatten, XFA-to-AcroForm. Deploy on pdfRest Cloud (US or EU) or self-host via Docker, Kubernetes, or AWS Marketplace (BYOL) — same API, same code, just change the base URL.

  • pdfRest is surely a business oriented PDF converter because it can convert all sorts of files, small and large, landscape or portrait, into splendid and crisp PDFs for all purposes.
  • It is the best documentation tool in the market for creating, editing and converting office suite documents into PDF. Really liked its simple to use procedures.

Cons

  • The team at PDFrest is incredibly helpful — they respond quickly, clearly, and even took individual feature requests into account without delay. The API itself is fast, user-friendly, and well-documented. A solid, reliable partner to work with.
  • Multiple file upload options is missing or I didn't find the option, either ways would appreciate some guidance.
  • I do not have complaints at the moment with regards to execution of the tool or its processes.
  • OCR feature could have been a lovely add. I hope the makers add this feature soon.
  • One area where the platform falls short is in its limited language support. PDFRest currently only supports English, which can be a significant limitation for users.
