Intro to DOMPDF - lightest and simplest PHP library to generate PDF documents
Generating PDF documents out of your app's HTML output is a very common requirement and there are several open source libraries to accomplish this. I came across this need for my project recently and I evaluated many popular ones such as TCPDF, mpdf, FPDF, etc. But the one that truly stood up to my evaluation in terms of efficiency (minimal footprint) and ease of implementation was DOMPDF.

PHP chart libraries
Depending on if this is a web-based project or not this suggestion might not be suitable. But the last few projects like this I did that were web-based I have used Google Charts with TCPDF. I rendered the charts on the page as a "print preview", and since TCPDF supports basic HTML composition I saved out the charts as generated images and submitted them to the server which generates a PDF. Bit convoluted but that was what I came up with in a hurry.

pdf generation
Running a headless browser to render HTML is a resource intensive task. If you only need to generate simple documents, you're better off using a tool that generates PDF directly. In the old days we used FPDF and its successors (TCPDF was the most popular). Both seem to have recent releases. There's also mPDF , that seems to be another child of FPDF.

Create PDF from Excel.
You may want to look at a PDF library (Python/PHP/Perl/Java, etc.) You can do all you mention with a lot of flexibility. tcPDF comes immediately to mind, there is also a Python port. If you want to learn a language, i recommend python. Learning how to make a basic program when it is something that you want, and you know what you want is a great way to learn.

Bundling lots of .html files into a PDF?
I would also look at dompdf and tcPDF, they would have very advantages if you intend to revise/reprint your documentation.

How to insert MYSQL data in allredy prepared PDF document
The original site still has it available for download, but most importantly, a ton of examples and documentation, that while I haven't tried the github version, probably works based on the same as the old.

PDF/A-3, PDF for Long-Term Preservation, Use of ISO 32000-1, with Embedded Files
The big restriction is that the classic Postscript typefaces are not available (no Times, Helvetica, or Zapf Dingbats), and the PDF file must bundle any fonts it uses.
The pdfsizeopt package will make any PDF smaller, and I think it deletes letters/characters from the included font that are not used.

PDF processing and analysis with open-source tools
This is missing the "pdfsizeopt" suite, that bundles statically compiled utilities to reduce size.
Static compilation means that it will run on most Linux platforms without extra required software.
I believe one aspect of it will remove characters from included fonts that are not used.
It really is quite impressive.

Reducing the Size of Large PDFs
There is a general PDF shrinker, known as "pdfsizeopt" that is bundled with static builds of gs and a number of other utilities.
It cuts some of our PDFs to 10x smaller, mostly by removing unused fonts (but doubtless also some other magic).
The developer asks for donations for production use from those who can afford it.
