Thanks in advance. Alice _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself with gadgets on Windows Live Spaces http://discoverspaces.live.com?source=hmtag1&loc=us I like dompdf from www.digitaljunkies.ca Its a class that takes html and creates a pdf from it I saw online at http://us3.php.net/manual/en/pdf.installation.php that I could build PDF from some extension. However, I use Linux, and I don't think this installation using dll extension supports it. I ran the code and still get this error. Any ideas? Thanks for your help.

If you are on Linux, another option might be FOP... http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/ I checked out the first link you provided, and downloaded it. I don't think I need to edit anything else from the file according to the webpage http://www.digitaljunkies.ca/dompdf/install.php. I put the entire extracted directory at my /var/www/html directory. Is there any suggestion you could provide on how to "install" it? I don't see any commands that it provides in its manual. Thanks for your help.

The documentation at php.net is a little confusing about whether this is an actual extension or not. Personally, I just install the add-on for this. Paul -- Paul M. Foster

I just placed the folder containing the class files in my dir and in the calling page, required() the main file.

I am still hoping to use the function pdf_new to get this to work by assembling some modules. Is what I am trying to do here not possible? Thanks for your help.
