Adding PDFlib to MAMP

(1) Download PDFLib 8.0
Don't install. Instead, enter the downloaded disk image, and surf to:
/bind/php/php-520/libpdf_php.so
Copy that file into:
/Applications/MAMP/bin/php5/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613

(2) Open Terminal and:
chmod +x /Applications/MAMP/bin/php5/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613/libpdf_php.so

(3) REM out
#DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH="/Applications/MAMP/Library/lib:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH"
#export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
in the file
/Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/envvars
by adding # to the beginning of those two lines.

(4) Add
extension=libpdf_php.so
to extension section of php.ini for php5

REBOOT APACHE AND CHECK THAT PDFLIB IS ENABLED IN PHPINFO.

  1. Hey! Thank you for your post. The paths and filenames have since changed a bit. I compiled a blogpost myself with the current values. There's not that much difference: http://www.justusbluemer.de/blog/217/pdflib-unter-mamp-installieren
