Build PDF's on the fly. With the easy-to-use developer functions, you can automate PDF generation from web pages, html code and even remote urls.

Overview

Create PDF makes it incredibly easy to create PDF files - without manually creating every PDF element.

You simply create a regular HTML page and add a single line of cut-and-paste code to the top to have it be displayed as a PDF.

Providing your content in PDFs is great for:
- Printer-friendly "info" sheets for your visitors
- Making it easy for a user to download and save your page to their computer for reference
- Creating PDF invoices and reports, or emailing content as PDF files
- And much more...

You can display PDFs 2 different ways:
- Inline: displayed in the browser window
- Attachment: send as a download to the browser to be locally saved

You can easily create PDFs 3 different ways with only a few short lines of code:

EXISTING PAGES:
Just add this single line of code to the top of the page and the output will be converted and sent as a PDF instead of HTML:
<?php createPDF_fromOutput('inline', 'example.pdf'); ?>

HTML CODE:
You can also pass HTML code directly to create a custom PDF. Example code:
<?php
$html = '<h1>Hello World</h1>';
$data = createPDF_fromHTML($html);
createPDF_display('inline', $data, 'example.pdf');
?>

REMOTE URL:
Create PDF isn't limited to your own pages - just specify the URL and automatically create a PDF with it's contents:
<?php
$data = createPDF_fromUrl('http://www.google.com/';);
createPDF_display('inline', $data, 'example.pdf');
?>
