[Martin Rud]

Hi list,

David (the author) gave me this answer (and permission to post it):

Hi Martin,

Sorry, I only read the dev-list. It was a good idea to write directly. 
Unless you are developing an extension, the fpdf-extension will be 
useless to you. It can only be used as a library.

If you are developing an extension, please have a look at the official 
FPDF documentation (http://www.fpdf.org/). You can also have a look at 
the extension "partner" 
(http://typo3.org/extensions/repository/search/partner/). In the class 
inc/class.tx_partner_format.php you will find the function formatAsPDF() 
which might point you to the right direction. Make sure to include the 
libary:

if (t3lib_extMgm::isLoaded('fpdf')) {
  require(t3lib_extMgm::extPath('fpdf').'class.tx_fpdf.php');
}

I will try to include a basic manual with the next version, however, it 
will not contain much more information than this mail... :-)

Hope this helped! Greetings,
Dave.
<------- end ---------->
