  4. <p>dompdf is an HTML to PDF converter. At its heart, dompdf is (mostly)
  5. CSS2.1 compliant HTML layout and rendering engine written in PHP. It is
  6. a style-driven renderer: it will download and read external stylesheets,
  7. inline style tags, and the style attributes of individual HTML elements. It
  8. also supports most presentational HTML attributes.</p>
  9. <p>PDF rendering is currently provided either by PDFLib (<a
  10. href="http://www.pdflib.com">www.pdflib.com</a>) or by a bundled
  11. version the R&amp;OS CPDF class written by Wayne Munro (<a
  12. href="http://www.ros.co.nz/pdf/">www.ros.co.nz/pdf</a>). (Some
  13. performance related changes have been made to the R&amp;OS class,
  14. however). In order to use PDFLib with dompdf, the PDFLib PECL
  15. extension is required. Using PDFLib improves performance and reduces
  16. the memory requirements of dompdf somewhat, while the R&amp;OS CPDF class,
  17. though slightly slower, eliminates any dependencies on external PDF
  18. libraries.</p>
  19. <p>Please note that dompdf works only with PHP 5. There are no plans for
  20. a PHP 4 port. If your web host does not offer PHP 5, I suggest either pestering
  21. them, or setting up your own PHP 5 box and using it to run dompdf. Your scripts
  22. on your web host can redirect PDF requests to your PHP 5 box.</p>
