用PHP大量生成PDF

Question

We are generating pdf based report cards for our clients on a php based ERP platform. They want to be able to generate around 2000 report cards one pdf file as seperate pages.

We have done this successfully using an HTML to PDF converter called DomPDF. However the script is too heavy and takes about an hour to complete and sometimes breaks, which is unacceptable. They currently used a desktop based software which delivers the report cards instantly via Crystal Reports.

In PHP we were wondering how we could generate such a large number of PDF pages (2000) with a much a higher speed.(hopefully less than 10 seconds).

Any suggestions for this would be welcome.

The server is running on Linux Ubuntu, we dont mind using a solution that involves use of exec.

Answer 1

使用WKHTMLTOPDF生成包含450至500页（仅2 MB文本）的PDF报告需要30至50秒，而TCPDF或HTMLTOPDF或DOMPDF中相同数量的数据则需要5至8分钟

Answer 2

我们一直在使用wkhtmltopdf -utility做得很好，但是我不确定它是最快的。

Answer 3

If you want to generate the PDFs from HTML, I would recommend using WKHTMLTOPDF via exec() or system(). We're using it in some applications and haven't had any problems at all so far (but neither do we generate the same amount of data as you guys).

Answer 4

Or Maybe Try the i-report designer. I had used it once and its great but you need to read forums or tutorials for customization and one thing about this is its an Open source, hope it would help you.
