Admittidly, I've never tried the sample scripts that ship with
dompdf. When I was getting started, I did run the hello world script
from the website.
Try the following modified hello world script:
<?php
require_once("dompdf_config.inc.php");
$html = "<html><body><p>Hello World!</p></body></html>";
$dompdf = new DOMPDF();
$dompdf->load_html($html);
$dompdf->render();
file_put_contents("sample.pdf", $dompdf->output());
?>
Save it into the same directory as dompdf_config.inc.php. Run it, and
hopefully, it should produce sample.pdf containing a Hello World
paragraph. If this works, you know that everything is setup
correctly.

I am having the same problem as Febie.
On google code someone managed to install it on windows (http://
code.google.com/p/dompdf/wiki/Installation), I followed their steps
but couldn't reproduce their results.
Also, is PDFLib installation necessary? I am on apache xampp 1.7.1.
Would it already have it installed?

You may or may not not need to modify dompdf_config.inc.php ... it
really depends on what you're trying to do. That being said, there's
nothing you need to modify in this file to run the samples.
However, there is one file that you *must* deal with prior to using
DOMPDF. In dompdf/lib/fonts you need to ensure that
dompdf_font_family_cache exists. If it does not you can try using the
version that accompanies the distribution
(dompdf_font_family_cache.dist). Just remove the ".dist" from the end
of the file.
If this doesn't work, any errors you can provide would be helpful.
Since you're not seeing anything on screen check your Apache and PHP
error.log files.

Are you have problems with DOMPDF in general or with load_font.php?

You do not need to follow the special notes regarding Windows if all
you want is regular PDF creation. load_font.php is necessary only if
you intend to use fonts not available by default (namely arial,
courier, and times).

is included with XAMPP. DOMPDF includes a PDF rendering engine called
CPDF which is written entirely in PHP.

hey, in your configuration for dompdf change the rendering engine to
CPDF not pdflib.
the rest of that stuff is from your apache log

I did check the error log, it reports
----------------
status 99 -- Restarting.
:
:
PHP Warning: Module 'pdf' already loaded in Unknown on line 0
:
:
----------------
So the problem lies at the installation of PDFLib I am guessing.
I am on apache xampp 1.7.1. The phpinfo() shows
-----------
PDF Support enabled
PDFlib GmbH Version 5.0.3
-----------
And I also had PDFLib Lite installed. Still no sign that it is
working.............
I notice in the installation guide that "domxml PECL extenstion
conflicts must be disabled".
Could this be the problem?
How do I disable it?
Carlos
Additional info
===========
I had PDFlib lite installed and made the following change in
dompdf_config.inc
1. define("TTF2AFM", "C:/Progra~1/GnuWin32/bin/ttf2pt1.exe");
2. define("DOMPDF_PDF_BACKEND", "PDFLib");

This could be PHP loading PDFLib then attempting to load PDFLib lite

later on, but I'm not positive about that.

So it does look like DOMPDF is trying to use PDFLib, but not the lite

version since you're getting a licensing error. I would try define
("DOMPDF_PDF_BACKEND","CPDF") to tell DOMPDF to use the built-in back-
end. This should avoid the licensing errors with PDFLib.

in the output from phpinfo(). The most recent version of PHP has DOM
and XML support built in, so don't confuse the built-in support with
the PECL extension. PECL is a command-line tool to install extensions
to PHP.

more serious. If you're still having problems after you change the
back end see if this message is still showing up.

Thank you for you help Brian,
I did the '("DOMPDF_PDF_BACKEND","CPDF")' change, but the error log
still reports :
PDFlib exception (fatal): [1202] PDF_set_parameter: Unknown key
'objorient'
[Fri Jul 10 14:45:59 2009] [notice] Parent: child process exited with
status 99 -- Restarting.
:
:
identical to the result without the change........
Thanks a million for your generous help!

hello calos,
i did find solutions on the problems we encountered..
open your httpd.conf located in apache/conf/httpd.conf then i search
the mod_rewrite.so
you will find the #LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
what i do is remove the # on this " #LoadModule rewrite_module modules/
mod_rewrite.so" and save it..
then after that i modify the dompdf config this line
("DOMPDF_PDF_BACKEND","auto") into ("DOMPDF_PDF_BACKEND","CPDF")
then i try to run again the sample then it did run.. i hope it will
help you :-)

This appears to be some kind of PDFLib error. I don't believe it

should still be showing if you've successfully made the change to
DOMPDF_PDF_BACKEND. To ensure that you're not using PDFLib you can try
disabling the PDFLib extension. I'm not familiar with XAMPP so I don't
know if there's a configuration interface that will allow you to turn
off PDFLib support or if you have to do it in your php.ini.
