The use of FPDF is nice and easy
I’ve been trying to get PHP to be able to make PDF documents – nothing big just usually a list of information that has been shown to screen – and I tried installing the PDFlib library but got confused part way thru as I couldn’t find simple enough instructions for me 
But then I stumbled on FPDF at http://www.fpdf.org and found this to be easy to use and invloved no installing of libraries.
Instead it uses a class of functions to create the pdf document.
I’ve only had a little play with it but it seems to meet my basic needs of creating a document with data given to it via php database calls.
The best thing is it is free.
