README

Extended FPDF including FPDF, FPDF Protection, HTML2PDF, FPDI and helpers.

The FPDF library is made up of the following elements:

• the main file, fpdf.php, which contains the class
• the font definition files located in the font directory

The font definition files are necessary as soon as you want to output some text in a document. If they are not accessible, the SetFont() method will produce the following error:

FPDF error: Could not include font definition file

Remarks:

• Only the files corresponding to the fonts actually used are necessary
• The tutorials provided in this package are ready to be executed

Requirements

• PHP 7.4 or 8.4+
• Composer
