Our server does the heavy lifting and generates the PDFs for you. The generated PDF files will be returned and stored on your server in the specified directory with your specified file name, or you can set them to be created and displayed or downloaded by a user on the fly.
You do not need any special packages or permissions. It works on any server running PHP!
We have simplified our API so that you just need to download the phpToPDF.php file from your account and include it in your code. It's that simple.

require('phpToPDF.php');
//Set Your Options -- see documentation for all options

require('phpToPDF.php');
//Your HTML in a variable
$my_html="PDF from HTML using phpToPDF
";
//Set Your Options -- we are saving the PDF as 'my_filename.pdf' to a 'my_pdfs' folder
$pdf_options = array(
"source_type" => 'html',
"source" => $my_html,
"action" => 'save',
"save_directory" => 'my_pdfs',
"file_name" => 'my_filename.pdf');
//Code to generate PDF file from options above
phptopdf($pdf_options);
?>
