I'm using WAMP and I would need to create PDF from php/html pages.

I had some trouble with DOMPDF since it seems unable to manage tables longer than a page, and I'm considering to use TCPDF.

I saw that I could install TCPDF with COMPOSER but I would prefer,if possible, to avoid a further installation.

Any chances to install TCPDF without composer?

thanks

My Answer:
Yes, you can install TCPDF without using Composer. Here's how you can do it:

1. Download the latest version of TCPDF from the official website: https://tcpdf.org/

2. Extract the downloaded ZIP file to a folder in your WAMP server's document root directory (e.g. C:\wamp64\www).

3. Include the TCPDF library in your PHP file using the following code:

php
require_once('path/to/tcpdf/tcpdf.php');


Make sure to replace 'path/to/tcpdf/tcpdf.php' with the actual path to the TCPDF library file.

4. You can now start using TCPDF to generate PDFs in your PHP code. Here's a simple example:

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


This code will create a PDF file with the text "Hello, World!" and prompt the user to download it.

That's it! You should now be able to use TCPDF in your WAMP environment without using Composer.
