What are some common pitfalls to avoid when generating PDF files dynamically with PHP?

One common pitfall to avoid when generating PDF files dynamically with PHP is not setting the correct content type header before outputting the PDF content. This can result in the PDF file being corrupted or not displaying correctly in the browser. To solve this issue, make sure to set the content type header to "application/pdf" before outputting any PDF content. 

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

// Output the PDF content
echo $pdf_content;
