Another tutorial on the Zend framework showing how you can manipluate PDFs using Zend_PD. This tutorial shows you how to create a new PDF document, add text, images and create shapes.
“The Zend_Pdf component of the Zend Framework is intended to allow you to create or manipulate PDF documents from within your applications. In addition to its text handling capabilities, it comes complete with drawing features that allow you to create or manipulate graphical primitives. When working with text Zend_Pdf gives you the option of using the built-in fonts or custom TrueType fonts. Its page manipulation capabilities allow you to create new pages, remove existing pages or change the order of pages already in the document. In this tutorial my goal is to give you an overview of the capabilities of Zend_Pdf.”

Another way to generate PDF files with the Zend Framework (ZF) is with a project called phpLiveDocx.
Using this ZF compatible component you can generate documents by combining structured data from PHP with a template, created in a word processor. The resulting document can be saved as a PDF, DOCX, DOC or RTF file. The concept is the same as with mail-merge.
