Now then, this is my method of creating Adobe PDF Files which is based on the PHP-PDF Project by R&OS.
My script is what generates the content and imagery from raw data like a text file, word documents or database and spreadsheet like a database or an XML document. R&OS have provided the core code to generate the file. The PHP-PDF Project provides the core code from R&OS for free.
To use it, insert some sample text in the box and select a font to display in the file and submit the form. Random grey spiragraph shapes are spattered on the back just to remind that it's a document
Enter your search terms and press 'Search'.
Apart from being very small in bytes (this because of the raw data which is fed into the file which also means you can select, copy and paste data), the format is excellent to send a document exactly as you intend either from your site, or by using it as a tool at work.
The file cannot be changed by the viewer and is both timestamped and signed during its creation. This means the file cannot be forged. You can also encrypt the contents with the RSA Labs MD5 algorithm if you are so inclined. You can add any font you choose and any image to the document as well.
If you zoom in on any element on the page, you will notice that the ellipses and text retain a high quality even when zoomed in closely. It's because of these vector graphics, the printed result will always be of high quality.
Because of these properties, it is an ideal format to send documents that need to be made secure. Since the method is quite quick and has little impact on the server's quality, you can happily use it all of the time.
