developers how do you print source code on the fly?

[fris]

i want users to be able to download snippets of source code in pdf format.

anyone know a trick around getting to send it to pdf format using a php class of some sort?

currently im using dompdf.

Obviously, the code is being read dynamically, and there's nothing you've found in Pear? During my time on the Python team, I remember some py lib that'd output to PDF. As a last resort, you could probably convert it from the command line.

And did you try fpdf.org unsuccessfully already?

That's what I always use, and it's a good little library. PDF is a pain though, because everything has to go pixel by pixel. If you're dynamically generating some statement or invoice, you end up fucking around reloading the PDF a few times a minute just to move a line or piece of text over by a couple pixels here and there, to make sure everything lines up.

It's a pain...

ya dompdf uses pdflib, just dont know how to make it highlight the source code when creating the actual pdf, it tries to run the actual php code, and ive tried highlight_file, even set the output to false, but still no go.

Not sure how you get the content, but can you remove/filter the php tags?
