the thing with fpdf is that it can take a while to get everything looking like you want it, because you have to program how you want it to output the pdf.. which if you have the html already on screen, can double your time..

the good thing with dompdf is that you provide it with the html page and it does the rest for you..

Thanks Steve

awsome folks, I'll check it out! yeah it wasn't available when I did my pdf foray and I totally agree with the agony of painstakingly laying out the pdf by hand! No good.
