I would like to use PHP scripts to access PDF library to create PDF documents on-the-fly. Bluehost does not support the installation. Can someone give me the steps to install PDFlib lite on my domain? I can download the source code, but do not know what to do with it. Thanks.

Not sure about how to install pdflib but have you considered using the fpdf library instead as it makes creating pdfs much easier than using pdflib and just needs one or two php files loaded into your account in order to work instead of needing a php change.

Hi, could you please clarify the fpdf installation process for me? Are there any dependencies or will it just work ok on my bluehost domain as long as I got admin access? Thanks for your help!

To use FPDF you just install the file on your hosting and call it to create PDFs. The entire library is written in PHP so it doesn't need any special install.
