an well balanced app I’ve used TCPDF in PHP projects to generate invoices, reports, and downloadable documents, and it’s a dependable library once you understand its structure. Being a pure PHP solution makes it easy to deploy without worrying about server-side dependencies. The library handles multilingual text, custom fonts, and page formatting quite well, which is useful for business documents. However, designing layouts can be tedious, especially if you’re coming from HTML/CSS-based PDF tools. The documentation exists, but it’s not always beginner-friendly. TCPDF works best for backend-driven PDF generation where control and stability matter more than visual design flexibility. It’s not modern or flashy,

It very useful for rapid web development. PDF generation on the site-server side is needed in many situations such as billing order generation for example. I'll check the new tc-lib-pdf when it'll be ready, as you advice.
