    Hi,

    I need to create PDF files on the fly using php only.
    I know of FPDF and TCPDF. Both work well. However, I would like be able to import PDF pages from another pdf file into the files I create.
    It seems like FPDI would be the solution. However, FPDI does not support pdf files that are of a higher version than 1.4.
    It actually does support them, but requires a license fee.

    I need a free solution. Can anyone suggest one?

    Another forum I participate in has a thread similar to this one with some solutions, maybe there's an answer there.

    What the guy ended up doing is using a shell_exec command to make the PDFs using Ghostscript.
