Do you support PDFlib with PHP?

No. PDFlib is not available on Ruachost hosting.

PDFlib is a commercial, third-party product that needs its own licence and a special PHP extension, so it isn’t installed on our servers.

Free alternatives

You can create PDF files from PHP with free libraries that don’t need a server extension. Install them in your project with Composer:

Library	Good for	Install command
Dompdf	Turning HTML and CSS into a PDF	composer require dompdf/dompdf
TCPDF	Detailed layouts, barcodes, many languages	composer require tecnickcom/tcpdf
FPDF	Simple, lightweight PDFs	composer require setasign/fpdf

A short Dompdf example:

<?php
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
use Dompdf\Dompdf;

$dompdf = new Dompdf();
$dompdf->loadHtml('<h1>Invoice</h1><p>Thank you for your order.</p>');
$dompdf->render();
$dompdf->stream('invoice.pdf');
