-## NOTE
+## Deprecation Notice
-A new version of this library is under development at https://github.com/tecnickcom/tc-lib-pdf and as a consequence this library is in support only mode.
 
+TCPDF is **deprecated** and in **maintenance-only mode**.
 
+Active feature development has moved to [tc-lib-pdf](https://github.com/tecnickcom/tc-lib-pdf), the modern and modular successor.
 
-## Description
+For new projects, use `tecnickcom/tc-lib-pdf`. This repository remains available for legacy systems and critical compatibility fixes.
 
-PHP library for generating PDF documents on-the-fly.
+### Migration Path
 
-### Main Features:
+- New projects: install `tecnickcom/tc-lib-pdf`.
-* no external libraries are required for the basic functions;
+- Existing TCPDF users: keep TCPDF for current production workloads and migrate in phases.
-* all standard page formats, custom page formats, custom margins and units of measure;
+- Teams seeking modern architecture, Composer-first design, and stronger type-safety should prioritize `tc-lib-pdf`.
-* UTF-8 Unicode and Right-To-Left languages;
-* TrueTypeUnicode, OpenTypeUnicode v1, TrueType, OpenType v1, Type1 and CID-0 fonts;
-* font subsetting;
-* methods to publish some XHTML + CSS code, Javascript and Forms;
-* images, graphic (geometric figures) and transformation methods;
-* supports JPEG, PNG and SVG images natively, all images supported by GD (GD, GD2, GD2PART, GIF, JPEG, PNG, BMP, XBM, XPM) and all images supported via ImagMagick (http://www.imagemagick.org/script/formats.php)
-* 1D and 2D barcodes: CODE 39, ANSI MH10.8M-1983, USD-3, 3 of 9, CODE 93, USS-93, Standard 2 of 5, Interleaved 2 of 5, CODE 128 A/B/C, 2 and 5 Digits UPC-Based Extension, EAN 8, EAN 13, UPC-A, UPC-E, MSI, POSTNET, PLANET, RMS4CC (Royal Mail 4-state Customer Code), CBC (Customer Bar Code), KIX (Klant index - Customer index), Intelligent Mail Barcode, Onecode, USPS-B-3200, CODABAR, CODE 11, PHARMACODE, PHARMACODE TWO-TRACKS, Datamatrix, QR-Code, PDF417;
-* JPEG and PNG ICC profiles, Grayscale, RGB, CMYK, Spot Colors and Transparencies;
-* automatic page header and footer management;
-* document encryption up to 256 bit and digital signature certifications;
-* transactions to UNDO commands;
-* PDF annotations, including links, text and file attachments;
-* text rendering modes (fill, stroke and clipping);
-* multiple columns mode;
-* no-write page regions;
-* bookmarks, named destinations and table of content;
-* text hyphenation;
-* text stretching and spacing (tracking);
-* automatic page break, line break and text alignments including justification;
-* automatic page numbering and page groups;
-* move and delete pages;
-* page compression (requires php-zlib extension);
-* XOBject Templates;
-* Layers and object visibility.
-* PDF/A-1b support.
 
-### Third party fonts:
+### Why Migrate to tc-lib-pdf
 
-This library may include third party font files released with different licenses.
+- Modern architecture: modular libraries and cleaner component boundaries improve maintainability.
+- Better extensibility: new features are easier to add without patching a monolithic legacy core.
+- Stronger tooling fit: modern package structure works better with static analysis, CI, and automated tests.
+- Lower long-term risk: reduces technical debt tied to legacy APIs and supports ongoing PHP ecosystem evolution.
+- Improved delivery speed: teams can implement and ship new PDF capabilities with less friction.
 
-All the PHP files on the fonts directory are subject to the general TCPDF license (GNU-LGPLv3),
+Migration still requires planning and regression checks to preserve rendering parity for existing documents.
-they do not contain any binary data but just a description of the general properties of a particular font.
-These files can be also generated on the fly using the font utilities and TCPDF methods.
 
-All the original binary TTF font files have been renamed for compatibility with TCPDF and compressed using the gzcompress PHP function that uses the ZLIB data format (.z files).
+### Future Compatibility Possibility
 
-The binary files (.z) that begins with the prefix "free" have been extracted from the GNU FreeFont collection (GNU-GPLv3).
+As a long-term possibility, TCPDF could be refactored to use `tc-lib-pdf` internally as a backend while preserving a practical level of backward compatibility for existing TCPDF integrations.
-The binary files (.z) that begins with the prefix "pdfa" have been derived from the GNU FreeFont, so they are subject to the same license.
-For the details of Copyright, License and other information, please check the files inside the directory fonts/freefont-20120503
-Link : https://www.gnu.org/software/freefont/
 
-The binary files (.z) that begins with the prefix "dejavu" have been extracted from the DejaVu fonts 2.33 (Bitstream) collection.
+This is not part of a committed roadmap and there is no guarantee it will happen. It is documented here only as a potential direction that may be evaluated in the future.
-For the details of Copyright, License and other information, please check the files inside the directory fonts/dejavu-fonts-ttf-2.33
-Link : http://dejavu-fonts.org
 
-The binary files (.z) that begins with the prefix "ae" have been extracted from the Arabeyes.org collection (GNU-GPLv2).

-### ICC profile:
+## Overview
 
-TCPDF includes the sRGB.icc profile from the icc-profiles-free Debian package:
+TCPDF is a pure-PHP library for generating PDF documents and barcodes directly in application code.
-https://packages.debian.org/source/stable/icc-profiles-free
 
+It has been widely used across many PHP stacks and still provides a complete feature set for text rendering, page composition, graphics, signatures, forms, and standards-oriented output.
