The only pdf functions contained on php's manual are, not only hard to install sometimes, but also paid, and none of them are free (on of the great advantages of php). There is the free pdf classes found at http://www.ros.co.nz/pdf/ . Wouldn't be interesting that this one also could be found on documentation? It's where all of us come for finding this stuff...

I think it would look better as a user-note =\

But let's just see what others think about this ;)

FYI, there is another free PDF class that can be found at http://www.fpdf.org/

Wouldn't be more interesting that the FREE versions would be documented, rather the paid ones? We already have two :-)

I feel we should do a little research and come up with a bunch of free alternatives, create a faq, and link to this faq in  pdf/reference.xml

Good idea Philip. Dear Surak, we are not going to "document" other software not included in the PHP distribution. As Philip suggested, there probably will be some links to free alternatives, but the PHP documentation won't include documentation for those...

Which is ok, it's just weird not finding anything about this on the current manual... Except for user notes, that not everybody can see :-)

This is now documented and will show up during the next manual 
build, thanks for the report :)

Some more free API's from user's notes, they may be added too :

http://www.potentialtech.com/ppl.php
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdf-php/
http://www.gnuvox.com/
http://www.stillhq.com/cgi-bin/getpage?area=panda&page=index.htm  (?)

A little clean up on the notes should be done after next manual build.
