[/snip] another option is FPDF from www.fpdf.org another class the classes are nice since they don't generally require the module to be installed. If you are on Linux, another option might be FOP... http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/ I checked out the first link you provided, and downloaded it. I don't think I need to edit anything else from the file according to the webpage http://www.digitaljunkies.ca/dompdf/install.php. I put the entire extracted directory at my /var/www/html directory. Is there any suggestion you could provide on how to "install" it? I don't see any commands that it provides in its manual. Thanks for your help. Its a class set of files, so there is no real install. I just placed the folder containing the class files in my dir and in the calling page, required() the main file. The dompdf.inc.php file is where i handle the filesystem links Looks like the files I wanted to turn into PDF are not web pages, but most of them are text files. I am still hoping to use the function pdf_new to get this to work by assembling some modules. Is what I am trying to do here not possible? Thanks for your help.
