Hi there,

I would like to generate a html file with PHP. This HTML file must be converted to an PDF file. There are enough tools that can do that on the fly. But I need te PDF files to be in high resolution. Suggestions?

Regards,

Unless you've got graphics, PDFs are resolution independant - they're vector based.

That's wright! Most of the information is vector like.
But there will be some photo's and that's where the problem begins...

Just use high-res photos. unless you downsample them they'll maintain their resolution.

So if I make a simple fore example:

- text
- on photo

And I'll take a photo on 300 dpi and import them on te page and resize it to normal (smaller) size. And I convert all to a PDf file with for example ezpdf class. The PDF file will have a high res photo in it?
