The RE Framework is not a full-stack framework, but a collection of powerful PHP components which you can use at-will in your own projects. The RE components are framework-agnostic, and work with all of the popular PHP application frameworks available today, including Zend Framework, CakePHP, Codeigniter, and others. You can even use it standalone with your own PHP 5.2+ code.
The RE Framework is open-source software, offered under the LGPL V3 license, enabling you to use it in both your personal and commercial projects.
The RE PDF component is a comprehensive PHP interface for PDF Generation. Decendant from Zend_Pdf 1.0.4 it adds many useful features, optimizations, and compatibility upgrades. These include:
The RE Text component serves as the foundation for all text drawing in the PDF component. A base attributed string class, which represents a Unicode string, provides the ability to add attributes to arbitrary ranges of characters within the string. These attributes generally describe the style and layout intent of specific characters (font, size, color, kerning, paragraph style, etc.).
The RE Geometry component provides primitive point, size, and rectangle classes for powerful modeling and manipulation of two-dimensional coordinate systems.
The RE FileParser component provides a simple interface for building binary file parsers from both in-memory and filesystem sources. It provides a library of methods to quickly navigate and extract various data types (signed and unsigned integers, floating- and fixed-point numbers, strings, etc.) from the binary file.
