mPDF is a PHP library which generates PDF files from UTF-8 encoded HTML.

It is based on [FPDF](http://www.fpdf.org/) and [HTML2FPDF](http://html2fpdf.sourceforge.net/)(see [CREDITS](CREDITS.txt)), with a number of enhancements. mPDF was written by Ian Back and is released under the [GNU GPL v2 licence](LICENSE.txt).
