Your support helps keep this website running. Please consider supporting this project. SPONSOR DONATE* The codebase is split across focused Composer packages instead of a single monolithic distribution.* The API surface is more strongly typed and organized around companion services such as fonts, pages, graphics, and images.* Setup is Composer-first, which means asset preparation such as font generation is part of project bootstrap rather than an implicit bundled step.The fastest way to evaluate the library is to follow the installation and font setup steps below, then compare runnable examples with the equivalent workflows you already maintain in TCPDF.## Requirements* Required PHP extensions (enforced by Composer): `ctype`, `filter`, `hash`, `json`, `mbstring`, `openssl`, `pcre`, `xml`, `zlib`Optional PHP extensions for extended functionality:* `gd`: extended image format handling.* `curl`: required to contact a Timestamp Authority (RFC 3161) when timestamping signatures.* `intl`: Unicode NFC normalization of the PDF file name.* `bcmath`: speeds up the arbitrary precision arithmetic used by the IMB and PDF417 barcode types (a pure-PHP fallback is used when it is missing).Feature-specific prerequisites:* Digital signatures, timestamps, and LTV workflows require signing certificates/keys and any external TSA or revocation endpoints your configuration references.* `make preflight` depends on external validation tools when you want standards validation beyond the built-in sample generation.## Installation1. Install the package with Composer.2. Generate the companion font files.3. Run the minimal script using the generated `K_PATH_FONTS` path.## Font SetupFont generation is required before the bundled and companion fonts can be used.The detailed workflow now lives on /docs/fonts/, including Composer hooks, manual generation, custom font import, and licensing notes.The same call, in code.

Fields you can pull.
Spider names these from the page. The capture above came back as markdown; the same
call with return_format: "json" returns them as keys.
