Both are of use
Authored by: kd4ttc on Apr 06, '06 07:13:09PM

I appreciate your comment. I had looked at FPDF. It is a very good choice for a document where items are placed in various places on the page. It was a little cumbersome, however, for just flowing out long paragraphs of wrapped text. For simple text to a PDF the simple workflow that could be had with groff was a real plus. Also, the source file generated by PHP in this workflow was saveable as a draft version, so later editing of the text file was an option in the groff based workflow, but wouldn't be with the FPDF workflow.

I agree about FPDF being the best tool for PDF generation out of PHP in general, though.
