I'm wondering which is the best PDF creation library for PHP, mainly for creating PDFs from scratch (not as much HTML to PDF)? I have worked with FPDF for quite a while now, but it's getting quite old and hasn't had much for updates. I found TCPDF the other day (thanks you another question on SO). It seems very good and is based on FPDF...

I currently use FPDF to create some fairly complicated reports and am trying to upgrade to TCPDF, but I've found that my same code running through TCPDF is about twice as slow. Because my PDFs already take up to a minute to generate I can't really afford to have this slowdown, but I'd really like to take advantage of some TCPDF features ...
I have a very specific 2 column layout I'm trying to set up for a client using TCPDF. AutoPageBreak works fine if you're sending text to a page with writeHTML and multiCell at the default width of the page. When I set a narrower width for a multiCell TCPDF doesn't know when to page break. This is driving me insane. Here's super simple e...

Using php and TCPDF to generate a pdf file. Everything works great except when I try to write an image to the pdf using ImageEPS(). Nothing shows up. No errors (it can definitely find the file).

I am using TCPDF with FPDI's bridge. The issue I'm having is that as soon as I use the startTransaction() I get the following error: TCPDF ERROR: Cannot access protected property FPDI:$numpages / Undefined property: FPDI::$numpages and the script ends (because of the die in the TCPDF::Error() method).
