Description

PDF Constructor utilizes an XML grammar that combines elements of XHTML, CSS, and SVG to generate PDF documents that can be single or multi-page, featuring both pre-existing and dynamically created raster, vector, and textual content. You can create print-ready PDFs that support CMYK and spot colors while allowing for precise specifications of bleed and trim. The software facilitates the use of various font types, including Type 1, TrueType, and OpenType, ensuring that fonts are always embedded and can be optionally subsetted. It also enables the production of documents suitable for the web or screen, complete with bookmarks, hyperlinks, interactive actions, and JavaScript functionality, as well as the ability to construct comprehensive Acrobat Forms on the fly. Users can incorporate JPEG and TIFF images, adjusting for any colorspace and resolution, while applying transformations to ensure the images integrate seamlessly into the layout. SVG graphics can be included directly or referenced, and you have the option to specify individual pages or entire PDF files as templates for adding new content. Additionally, paragraph and character styles informed by CSS2 can be utilized for creating flowable content, enhancing the overall design and structure of your documents. This versatile tool streamlines the PDF creation process, making it a valuable asset for designers and developers alike.

Description

mPDF is a PHP library designed to create PDF documents from HTML that is encoded in UTF-8. It builds upon the foundations of FPDF and HTML2FPDF while incorporating various enhancements. Though it tends to be slower than its predecessors, such as HTML2FPDF, and results in larger file sizes when using Unicode fonts, it offers features like CSS styling and other improvements. Despite its advantages, mPDF is considered somewhat outdated, and there are now more advanced alternatives available that are not PHP-based. If you find yourself limited to PHP for PDF generation or wish to utilize mPDF's unique features, such as color management, barcode support, and customizable headers and footers, it may still be a viable option. However, keep in mind that designing an HTML/CSS template specifically for mPDF might be essential for optimal results. For the best CSS support and the ability to replicate existing HTML pages in PDF format, using headless Chrome is recommended. mPDF is expected to continue receiving updates to improve its internal functions and maintain compatibility with newer PHP versions, ensuring it remains a relevant option for developers.
