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.

Dompdf as a Phar
I am using Dompdf to create my pdf. However, I want the Dompdf project into a reusable phar. How do I do that? Do I need to leave the dependencies in the project, or can I put them into their own phar? I just want the breakdown on how to easily do this from scratch.

API-driven dynamic PDF generator.
This is what I did. I just coded a little PHP script that lets me select templates and add pages, and type in markdown, and that gets wrapped in a pre-defined template and piped to a preview page. I have a print button to print to PDF, and an edit button to make changes. I could send it through something like dompdf if I didn't want to deal with browser quirks.

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.
