    Basic Usage Examples

    Most of the functions are fairly easy to use. The
    most difficult part is probably creating your first PDF document.
    The following example should help to get you started. It is
    developed for PHP 4 and creates the file hello.pdf with one page. It defines some document
    info field contents, loads the Helvetica-Bold font and outputs the
    text “Hello world! (says PHP)”.

    Example #1 Hello World example from PDFlib distribution
    for PHP 4

    <?php
    $p     = PDF_new();

    /*  open new PDF file; insert a file name to create the PDF on disk */
    if (PDF_begin_document($p, "", "") == 0) {
        die(    "Error: " . PDF_get_errmsg($p));
    }

    PDF_set_info($p, "Creator", "hello.php");
    PDF_set_info($p, "Author", "Rainer Schaaf");
    PDF_set_info($p, "Title", "Hello world (PHP)!");

    PDF_begin_page_ext($p, 595, 842, "");

    $font = PDF_load_font($p, "Helvetica-Bold", "winansi", "");

    PDF_setfont($p, $font, 24.0);
    PDF_set_text_pos($p, 50, 700);
    PDF_show($p, "Hello world!");
    PDF_continue_text($p, "(says PHP)");
    PDF_end_page_ext($p, "");

    PDF_end_document($p, "");

    $buf = PDF_get_buffer($p);
    $len = strlen($buf);

    header("Content-type: application/pdf");
    header("Content-Length: $len");
    header("Content-Disposition: inline; filename=hello.pdf");
    print     $buf;

    PDF_delete($p);
    ?>

    The following example comes with the PDFlib
    distribution for PHP 5. It uses the new exception handling and
    object encapsulation features available in PHP 5. It creates the
    file hello.pdf with one page. It
    defines some document info field contents, loads the Helvetica-Bold
    font and outputs the text “Hello world! (says PHP)”.

    Example #2 Hello World example from PDFlib distribution
    for PHP 5

    <?php

    try {
            $p = new PDFlib();

        /*  open new PDF file; insert a file name to create the PDF on disk */
            if ($p->begin_document("", "") == 0) {
            die(    "Error: " . $p->get_errmsg());
        }

        $p->set_info("Creator", "hello.php");
            $p->set_info("Author", "Rainer Schaaf");
            $p->set_info("Title", "Hello world (PHP)!");

        $p->begin_page_ext(595, 842, "");

        $font = $p->load_font("Helvetica-Bold", "winansi", "");

        $p->setfont($font, 24.0);
            $p->set_text_pos(50, 700);
            $p->show("Hello world!");
            $p->continue_text("(says PHP)");
            $p->end_page_ext("");

        $p->end_document("");

    }
    catch (    PDFlibException $e) {
