Version 3.0 of TCPDF, a PHP library for creating PDF documents has just been released.

Image scaling has been added as a new feature. The CMYK colorspace is now available in addition to grayscale and RGB. The text function can now generated strike through and cut-off text.
TCPDF has been under development since 2002. The PHP class creates PDF documents in any ISO page format as well as custom formats. It supports the UTF-8 character set and right to left (RTL) languages. Bookmarks, forms and Javascript in PDF files are also supported.
