[RESOLVED] php->pdf pt 2. Long creation time.

[slightlyeskew]

Hey all. Sorry this question ends up being quite specific and I think only a few people are familiar with the utility in question. I last inquired how to create PDFs with PHP, and was directed to using TCPDF, which I have enjoyed thus far. The problem I am having now is with the length of time it takes to create the PDF.

I use the same example as on the website:

http://www.tecnick.com/pagefiles/tcpdf/example_001.phps
[PDF] http://www.tecnick.com/pagefiles/tcpdf/example_001.pdf
which generates a PDF in seconds when accessed on their website.

When I copy and paste the PHP from the example and save it on to my computer and load the page in firefox, it takes 5 minutes to create the PDF (I timed it). What's causing all the delay and what can I do to speed up the process? As always, thanks for your time and patience.

Try changing the font to helvetica or times. See how that fits.

Have a go with UFPDF.

Thanks! worked perfectly. Changing to helvetica for whatever reason dropped the creation time dramatically.
