All Free / Libre / Open Source PDF generation solutions were analyzed and mPDF was selected as the overall best solution for deep integration in Tiki. The main reasons are:
1- Vast feature set: The mpdfmanual.pdf is over 600 pages!
2- It’s written in PHP (like Tiki) so it eases deployment, facilitates integration and makes it easier for the Tiki community to contribute.
3- The approach is to convert HTML to PDF (other approaches would have been more complex / less suitable for the Tiki context)
4- Strong multi-lingual support: Some of the other good solutions didn’t support all languages. And thus, it would have forced us to have a second solution for these languages, which would have fragmented the efforts.
