• Ghostscript version 7.05 or newer – allows generation of PDF files
• PDFLIB – allows direct PDF generation
• iconv PHP extension – allows faster and more stable HTML page conversion from different charsets

If you wish to generate a TOC for your PDF file you will have to follow certain guides. HTML2PDF module uses the html2ps library. You may find some more advanced instructions there. Here's a page to learn about generating table of contents: http://www.tufat.com/docs/html2ps/generated_toc.html

To use the API and generate PDF's with it you must include the API file in your code:

<?php
include_once '/path/to/html2pdf/HTML2PDF_api.php';
 
$api = new HTML2PDF_api ();
$api->title     = 'my pdf title';
$api->is_url    = TRUE;
$api->user_id   = 1;//if this is not set, the api will try to get the id of the logged in user
$api->urls      = array ( 'http://www.google.com', 'http://www.msn.com' );
$api->content   = '';//leave it empty since the content will be fetched from the urls
 
//let's store the newly inserted PDF id in a variable
$newPDF_id = $api->save ();
 
if ( $newPDF_id )
{//if the PDF file was stored we can play with the ID or...whatever
        //do something...
}

<?php
include_once '/path/to/html2pdf/HTML2PDF_api.php';
 
$api = new HTML2PDF_api ();
$api->title     = 'my pdf title';
$api->is_url    = FALSE;
$api->user_id   = 1;//if this is not set, the api will try to get the id of the logged in user
$api->content   = '<b>Some title</b><hr /><p>Some content</p>';
 
//let's store the newly inserted PDF id in a variable
$newPDF_id = $api->save ();
 
if ( $newPDF_id )
{//if the PDF file was stored we can play with the ID or...whatever
        //do something...
}
