Creating pdf documents

Post by dlbrennan »

Good Morning,

My current company uses the Coldfusion cfdocument tag to create graphic intensive pdf documents but encounter speed and resource issues during the creation process. Has anyone had experience using PHP's pdf capabilities and Coldfusion7?

We're using a 4Mb background image for quality vouchers and some dynamic text. Moving to preprinted card is not an option due to the number of background images used.

Cheers
Dave.

I wanted to use PHP's PDF library and found out that you need license and downloading and stuffs.. i made use of the FPDF.php class instead.. you can download it at http://www.fpdf.org.
