PDFlib install - help needed

[Anon]

Well I'm stuck! :-(

I run Redhat 7.2 on my server. I'v used the RPM's supplyed with the distribution to get Apache MySQL and PHP up and running.

But now I need pdflib too! I can't for the life of me understand what I need to doo! do I just copy the corresponding .so file into modules? I see people are talking of adding somthing into php.ini, but what?

Can I at all use what I have on my server now, or will I need to compile eavrything from scrach?

You can copy the libpdf_php.so file to your PHP extension_dir (this parameter you can set in php.ini).

then add: extension=libpdf_php.so to php.ini in the extensions section.

restart httpd and it should work. However, you will always get the www.pdflib.com watermark on your PDF documents. You won't have this watermark if you compile the pdflib yourself, then configure PHP to use pdflib

for windows it is extension=php_pdf.dll and the watermark will disappear if you use the serial in your script:
putenv("serial here"); works for me without problems. for perl pdflib scripts insert
PDF_set_parameter($p, "serial", "serial here"); into the script

to use the fonts insert this line (change path):

putenv("PDFLIBRESOURCE=C:/Programme/Server/PDFLIB_binary/fonts/pdflib.upr");

and in the *.upr file change the path to the fonts directory
