How can the htaccess configuration affect the generation of PDF files in PHP?

The htaccess configuration can affect the generation of PDF files in PHP by potentially blocking access to the PDF files or changing the way they are served to users. To ensure that PDF files are generated and served correctly, make sure that the htaccess file allows access to the directory where the PDF files are stored and does not interfere with the headers needed to serve PDF files.

// Ensure that the htaccess file allows access to the directory where PDF files are stored
// and does not interfere with the headers needed to serve PDF files

// Set the content type header to indicate that a PDF file is being served
header('Content-Type: application/pdf');

// Output the PDF file
readfile('path/to/your/pdf/file.pdf');
