A lightweight, native PDF engine for PHP for creating structured PDF documents programmatically.

Overview
--------

[](#overview)

`kalle/pdf` builds PDF documents from a small PHP object model and renders them directly to PDF syntax.

Current core coverage includes:

- documents and pages
- text with standard and embedded fonts
- simple flow layout via `TextFrame`
- lists and basic tables
- images, lines, rectangles, and path-based shapes
- links and named destinations
- classic PDF info metadata and XMP metadata
- optional password-based PDF encryption
- outlines, named table-of-contents placement, logical TOC page numbers, attachments, layers, and basic form fields

The current focus is a stable core library. PDF/A, PDF/UA, and full tagged-PDF compliance are not the current target yet.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP `^8.4`
- `ext-mbstring`
