   Most of the functions are fairly easy to use. The most difficult part
   is probably creating your first PDF document. The following
   example should help to get you started. It is developed for PHP 4 and
   creates the file <filename>hello.pdf</filename> with one page.
   It defines some document info field contents, loads the Helvetica-Bold
   font and outputs the text "Hello world! (says PHP)".

   The following example comes with the PDFlib distribution for PHP 5.
   It uses the new exception handling and object encapsulation features
   available in PHP 5. It creates the file <filename>hello.pdf</filename>
   with one page. It defines some document info field contents, loads the
   Helvetica-Bold font and outputs the text "Hello world! (says PHP)".
