Grab pdflib from http://www.pdflib.com/ and build it (simple enough, just use the defaults unless there is some compelling reason to change the directory or options).

If you don't have the php source, grab it, extract it, and then configure it with the same options you have now, but add --with-pdflib to the ./configure. Unless you change the defaults in the build of pdflib, you do not need to specify the directory.

Restart apache, and you're done.

I am having a problem with that.

I downloaded the pdflib tar ball pdflib-4.0.3-Linux.tar.gz from http://www.pdflib.com/pdflib/download/index.html.

But when I untar it all I get is a libpdf_php.so.

I dont get the option to to ./configure.

Also I tried adding in php.ini extension=libpdf_php.so that did not work either.

Please advise.

I'm not Annette, but anyway. You didn't download the source. The link to the source is down on the bottom of the page. The tarball you have to download is:
http://www.pdflib.com/pdflib/downloa...b-4.0.3.tar.gz
There's also a link to the pdf.c file that must be copied to the PHP source tree (read the full instructions in pdflib).

Hello Juanra.

Well thanx things are working smooth.

But there is a new problem now. php's mail() function is not working it seems.

Any suggestions.

See the exmin_mainlog. If it says domain unroutable then remember to allow user nobody to send mails from the twek setting of whm panel.

Hello,

Thanks for the tip, but for the users to send mail it seems php-suexec needs to be enabled. Even setuid doesnt work......
