What are the limitations and challenges of manipulating PDF files with PHP?

One limitation of manipulating PDF files with PHP is that PHP does not have built-in support for directly editing PDF files. However, you can use libraries like TCPDF or FPDF to create or modify PDF files. These libraries provide functions to generate PDF files from scratch or manipulate existing PDF files. 

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

$pdf = new TCPDF();
$pdf->AddPage();
$pdf->SetFont('Arial', 'B', 16);
$pdf->Cell(40, 10, 'Hello World!');
$pdf->Output('example.pdf', 'F');
