What are some best practices for generating PDFs from PHP?

Generating PDFs from PHP can be achieved using libraries like TCPDF or FPDF. These libraries allow you to create PDF files by defining the content and layout programmatically. To generate a PDF using TCPDF, you need to install the library and then write PHP code to define the document structure, add content, and output the PDF file. 

require_once('tcpdf/tcpdf.php');

$pdf = new TCPDF();
$pdf->SetCreator(PDF_CREATOR);
$pdf->SetAuthor('Author Name');
$pdf->SetTitle('Title of the PDF');
$pdf->SetSubject('Subject of the PDF');

$pdf->AddPage();

$pdf->SetFont('Helvetica', '', 12);
$pdf->Cell(0, 10, 'Hello, World!', 0, 1, 'C');

$pdf->Output('example.pdf', 'D');
