Are there any specific libraries or tools recommended for handling PDF manipulation in PHP?

When handling PDF manipulation in PHP, one recommended library is TCPDF, which allows for creating and manipulating PDF documents. Another popular option is FPDI, which enables importing existing PDF documents into your PHP application for further manipulation. These libraries provide a range of functions for working with PDF files, making it easier to generate, modify, and extract data from PDF documents.

// Example using TCPDF to create a new PDF document
require_once('tcpdf/tcpdf.php');

$pdf = new TCPDF();
$pdf->AddPage();
$pdf->SetFont('helvetica', '', 12);
$pdf->Cell(0, 10, 'Hello, World!', 0, 1, 'C');
$pdf->Output('example.pdf', 'D');
