<para>
ClibPDF lets you create PDF documents with PHP. ClibPDF functionality
and API are similar to <link linkend="ref.pdf">PDFlib</link>.
This documentation should be read alongside the ClibPDF manual since it
explains the library in much greater detail.
</para>
<para>
Many functions in the native ClibPDF and the PHP module, as well
as in <link linkend="ref.pdf">PDFlib</link>, have the same name.
All functions except for <function>cpdf_open</function> take the
handle for the document as their first parameter.
</para>
<para>
Currently this handle is not used internally since ClibPDF does
not support the creation of several PDF documents at the same time.
Actually, you should not even try it, the results are unpredictable. I
can't oversee what the consequences in a multi threaded environment
are. According to the author of ClibPDF this will change in one of
the next releases (current version when this was written is 1.10).
If you need this functionality use the pdflib module.
</para>
<para>
A nice feature of ClibPDF (and <link
linkend="ref.pdf">PDFlib</link>) is the ability to create the pdf
document completely in memory without using temporary files. It
also provides the ability to pass coordinates in a predefined unit
length. (This feature can also be simulated by
<function>pdf_translate</function> when using the <link
linkend="ref.pdf">PDFlib</link> functions.)
</para>
<para>
Another nice feature of ClibPDF is the fact that any page can be modified
at any time even if a new page has been already opened. The function
<function>cpdf_set_current_page</function> allows to leave the current
page and presume modifying an other page.
</para>
<para>
Most of the functions are fairly easy to use. The most difficult part
is probably creating a very simple PDF document at all. The following
example should help you to get started. It creates a document
with one page. The page contains the text "Times-Roman" in an
outlined 30pt font. The text is underlined.
</para>
</section>
<section id="cpdf.requirements">
&reftitle.required;
<para>
In order to use the ClibPDF functions you need to install the ClibPDF
package. It is available for download from <ulink url="&url.fastio;">
FastIO</ulink>, but requires that you purchase a license for commercial
use. PHP requires that you use cpdflib &gt;= 2.

The pdflib distribution contains a more complex example which creates a
series of pages with an analog clock. Here is that example converted
into PHP using the ClibPDF extension:
