   (PHP 3>= 3.0.8, PHP 4 )
   cpdf_open -- Opens a new pdf document

Description

   int cpdf_open ( int compression [, string filename])

   The cpdf_open() function opens a new pdf document. The first parameter
   turns document compression on if it is unequal to 0. The second
   optional parameter sets the file in which the document is written. If
   it is omitted the document is created in memory and can either be
   written into a file with the cpdf_save_to_file() or written to
   standard output with cpdf_output_buffer().

     Note: The return value will be needed in further versions of
     ClibPDF as the first parameter in all other functions which are
     writing to the pdf document.

     The ClibPDF library takes the filename "-" as a synonym for stdout.
     If PHP is compiled as an apache module this will not work because
     the way ClibPDF outputs to stdout does not work with apache. You
     can solve this problem by skipping the filename and using
     cpdf_output_buffer() to output the pdf document.

   See also cpdf_close() and cpdf_output_buffer().
