DOMPDF moved to Google Code, New dev team

May 07th, 2009

When I was building BambooInvoice, I wanted to have the ability to export invoices as PDFs. There are a number of excellent PHP based solutions for this, but Bamboo was unique in that it was a distributed application. I wouldn’t have control over the servers it was being installed onto. This meant I needed a PDF conversion library that didn’t rely on certain server libraries being present. I was also limited in that I wanted BambooInvoice to be released under an Open Source license.

DOMPDF was perfect for what I needed, and today the project changed hands, and is once again being actively developed at http://code.google.com/p/dompdf/. I’m very excited for the future of this excellent project.
