I found a PHP class called dompdf at http://code.google.com/p/dompdf/, its very simply to use an you don’t need to change your source above at all. See the documentation and download below.

hi SgtLegend,

I am facing another problem. when i convert html into pdf file, images or logo become small in converted pdf file.But it is right in html view. what should i do if i want to show images or logo as like html view?

I want to add watermark during pdf creation. how can i do it using dompdf?

You would need to ask over at the dompdf’s Google page about the image sizes as it may be cropping them for a specific reason. To watermark the images you would need to do this on the fly using a watermark script/class which you can find by Goggling “PHP watermark class”.
