    uhm! I am sure everyone is itching to help you out! Php has a whole list of pdf functions go check them out either at http://php.net or in your php documentation assuming you realised the importance of having your own copy.

    in order to use the pdf library the manual says you need to

    To get these functions to work, you have to compile PHP with --with-pdflib[=DIR]. DIR is the PDFlib base install directory, defaults to /usr/local. In addition you can specify the jpeg, tiff, and pnglibrary for PDFlib to use, which is optional for PDFlib 4.x. To do so add to your configure line the options --with-jpeg-dir[=DIR] --with-png-dir[=DIR] --with-tiff-dir[=DIR].
