Commenting “extension=lib_pdf.dll” on php.ini did the trick.

Thanks

I also had some problems running PDFLib on xampp and Codeigniter. I updated the dll with the latest version on pdflib.com but it seems it’s not free so it displays a big watermark saying “www.pdflib.com”. I tryed to switch DOMPdf backend rendering engine to CPDF but this also crashes my xampp. I’ll go on using PDFLib but do you know how I could get CPDF library to not crash my apache?

Thanks

Thanks Bijon .

I haven’t tried that yet. When I will do that I will definitely let others know through this site.

Nice to see this blog.

However i also use this dompdf plugin in CI. It’s really very easy. But i faced a problem when i crawl a site and wanted to pdf with that site CSS . But i failed to print that pdf with css.

Try changing the following line in dompdf_config.inc.php –

define(“DOMPDF_PDF_BACKEND”, “PDFLib”);

To:

define(“DOMPDF_PDF_BACKEND”, “CPDF”);

It will use the bundled CPDF library.

I have new trouble Can’t create files with font Unicode, they asked for licensed PDFLib

Yaah! It worked because DOMPDF did not find the PDFLib because of commenting the line. So, it moves for next option to use as back-end.

If you want to use PDFLib as back-end then you may use the libpdf_php.dll. Else no need

hello,
I just did one step
Comment this line “extension=php_pdf.dll;”
And it works now ! Thanks so much

btw, do I need to use libpdf_php.dll ? What will be the difference if I don’t use it ?

DOMPDF by default uses PDFLib as back-end. If you do not want to use PDFLib then you may read this. The version of PDFLib with XAMPP (last checked with XAMPP 1.6.x) crashes Apache server. To resolve this issue do the following:

1. Downloaded the latest free version of PDFLib from http://www.pdflib.com.
2. Put the dll file in your PHP extension directory. (I assume it is C:\Program Files\xampp\php\ext\. To get the location of extension directory you may search in xampp/apache/bin/php.ini file or search in content generated by phpinfo()).
3. Open xampp/apache/bin/php.ini file and comment this line (put ‘;’ before this line):

extension=php_pdf.dll;

And add the following line after this line (Assuming the dll file name is lib_pdf.dll):

extension=lib_pdf.dll;

4. Restart Apache server and now see.

Hope this will solve your problem.
