If you want a complete documentation on the entire PDFlib is it possible to download, read and study the reference .pdf file (and related) on [ http://www.pdflib.com/fileadmin/pdflib/pdf/manuals/PDFlib-7-API-reference.pdf ]
Note that this link points to a precise version of the library. You may want to check newer versions in the future on the same domain.

Creating a PDF with a defined PDF-Version (1.6 in this case) works like this:
if (PDF_begin_document($p, "", "compatibility 1.6") == 0) {
die("Error: " . PDF_get_errmsg($p));
}

There doesn't seem to be much documentation on setting options with this function, but here's the format for setting some basic things:
$optlist = "destination={page=1 type=fixed zoom=1 top=100 left=50}";
PDF_begin_document($pdfdoc, $filename, $optlist );
the '=' character can be replaced with a space, but I think '=' makes the code more readable.
Also, you must include 'type=fixed' to use 'zoom','left', or 'top'. You can set 'page' without it, though.
Hope this helps. And if anybody knows a good reference for the options that can be set here and what the format is, please link.
