because I confused in step 2 I write this comment:
for installing following this instruction step by step:
download PDFlib-Lite-X.X.XpX form first post...
open terminal and type:
$ cd download folder...
$ sudo tar -xzvf PDFlib-Lite-X.X.XpX.tar.gz
# cd PDFlib-Lite-X.X.XpX
# ./configure
# make
# make install
next:
# apt-get install php5-dev : online installation if not installed
# apt-get install php-pear : online installation if not installed
# pecl install pdflib : online installation
The ask be: 'path to pdflib installation? : ' enter '/usr/local'
# gedit /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
add 'extension=pdf.so in' 1 line
# /etc/init.d/apache2 reload OR /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
Should work! for test you can write "$p = new PDF_new();" in a file.
Installation
This » PECL extension is not bundled with PHP. Information for installing this PECL extension may be found in the manual chapter titled Installation of PECL extensions. Additional information such as new releases, downloads, source files, maintainer information, and a CHANGELOG, can be located here: » https://pecl.php.net/package/pdflib.
To get these functions to work in PHP < 4.3.9, you have to compile PHP with --with-pdflib[=DIR]. DIR is the PDFlib base install directory, defaults to /usr/local.

the new constructor for getting a new instance of PDF lib is $p = new PDFlib(); and not $p = new PDF_new(); anymore.

Brief installation notes. In the spite of the commercialization of libpdf library this is the way to use it in the lite mode.
System: Ubuntu 8.04 + php5.2
Step 1: PDFlib http://www.pdflib.com/
download PDFlib-Lite: http://www.pdflib.com/download/pdflib-family/pdflib-lite-7/
extract: tar -xzvf PDFlib-Lite-X.X.XpX.tar.gz
compile: cd PDFlib-Lite-X.X.XpX && ./configure && make && make install
Step 2: Pecl for PDFlib http://pecl.php.net/package/pdflib
install:
install dependences: phpize (php5-dev package)
pecl install pdflib
path to pdflib installation? :/usr/local
Step 3: php.ini
extension=pdf.so
Step 4:
/etc/init.d/apache2 reload
That's it.

Precisions for step 2:
- aptitude install php-pear
- peardev install pecl/pdflib
