Generating PDF's
Is there a way to generate PDF's with PHP withOUT using pdflib?
Re: Generating PDF's
Perhaps I should have been more specifically. I'm looking for something that can both write and READ pdf's. FPDF appears capable or creating PDF's, but can it read a pdf? For example, could it take to PDF's and combine them into one? I didn't see any classes or tutorials that appeared capable of that.

From the sounds of that link you'd have to write an interpreter / parse tree. Sounds easier to modify them offline with Acrobat Professional if at all possible. Maybe you could write a macro that would allow PHP to use acrobat to do the heavy lifting
