FreePDF (freepdf)

FreePDF is a fork of FPDF by Olivier Plathey and is available at fpdf.org. It has been refactored to take advantage of features available in PHP 7.4 and later as well as PSR-12 compliant. It also makes the PDF functionality available via Composer and other can contribute via forking and pull requests.

Future plans include creating a PDFlib API compatible replacement.

Requirements

• PHP 7.4+
• mbstring.func_overload must be disabled

Installation

You can include the FreePDF.php file directly by requiring the FreePDF.php file into your code:

require('/path/to/src/FreePDF/FreePDF.php');

$pdf = new \FreePDF\FreePDF();

Usage

The fpdf website has tutorials and documentation for using this library as the API has not changed.
