Product Decisions This Supports

  • Enables multilingual PDF generation for products requiring non-Latin character sets (e.g., Asian, Middle Eastern languages) without custom development.
  • Supports roadmap initiatives for document exports (invoices, reports) in global markets by addressing UTF-8 limitations in standard FPDF.
  • In build vs buy analysis, this package is a low-risk, low-effort solution for UTF-8 support compared to building from scratch or integrating heavier alternatives.
  • Use case: Applications needing simple PDFs with international text where advanced features (e.g., encryption, forms) are unnecessary.

When to Consider This Package

  • Adopt when:
    • Your project requires basic UTF-8 support for PDFs and existing FPDF is insufficient.
    • Legacy systems already using FPDF need minimal change for multilingual support.
  • Look elsewhere if:
    • The library requires active maintenance (last release 2022, low community engagement).
    • Advanced PDF features like form fields, encryption, or vector graphics are needed.
    • Higher security compliance or performance is critical (e.g., PDF/A standards).
    • A more robust alternative like TCPDF or
