How can I generate a PDF from HTML without the PDFlib library?

I need to dinamicaly generate a PDF from HTML, but I have PDF Support disabled on my hosting, so is it possible to do without PDFlib GmbH library?

Thanks

The most common alternative is FPDF. It is pure PHP and needs no installed extensions.

There are many packages, but as I gather you're not able to install extra libs on your hosting. Options would be FPDF if you feel like rewriting your whole HTML into blocks, TCPDF if you feel a bit less masochistic, which has some limited html/css support.

You should take TCPDF. It has almost every feature you need and it is very well documented.

An other nice option is dompdf, which is a HTML to PDF converter and is (almost) CSS 2.1 compliant. It can be used either using PDFLib or the R&OS CPDF class
