PDFlib is available for download at http://www.pdflib.com/products/pdflib/index.html
but requires that you purchase a license for commercial use. The JPEG and TIFF libraries are required to compile this extension.

There are also a few alternatives written in PHP such as
http://www.ros.co.nz/pdf/, http://www.fpdf.org/,
http://www.gnuvox.com/pdf4php/, and
http://www.potentialtech.com/ppl.php.

Hope that helps ya!
Bye
:D :wink:
