dompdf - The PHP 5 HTML to PDF Converter

Finally there seem to be a decent API for PHP developers to render HTML to PDF. I have just downloaded and unpacked domPdf on my WAMP and it worked right away.

Ok I had to disable php_domxml.dll first but after that it worked perfectly. Well almost, since there seems to be a problem with special characters. I guess I need to import some additional forms first before this works correctly.

Anyhow this API is a big step forward for PHP developers trying to find an easy and convenient way to create PDFs from what they know best: PHP and HTML.
