limePDF: A Modern PHP to PDF Generation Library

A Modern Take on PHP -> PDF library

An open-source project to port the powerful TCPDF library from PHP 5+ to modern PHP 7+ and 8+ version.
Clean, structured, and built for today’s development workflows.


limePDF is a complete rethinking of TCPDF — one of the most widely used PDF generators in PHP. We're rebuilding it from the ground up with a focus on type safety, performance, modularity, and modern PHP standards like namespaces, PSR compliance, and full compatibility with today’s frameworks.

If you've struggled with legacy code or deprecated functionality in older PDF libraries, limePDF is built to solve those pain points. It’s designed to work smoothly with Laravel, Symfony, WordPress, and any custom PHP stack. Whether you're creating invoices, reports, or dynamic documents, limePDF is future-ready.


We’re still in active development — and this is your chance to get involved early. Developers, integrators, and businesses relying on PDFs can finally count on a clean, modern engine that scales with their stack.
