                 ---> index.php

6. Copy paste Code dibawah ini


<?php
require_once('tcpdf/tcpdf.php');

// for setting variable you can goto tcpdf/config/tcpdf_config, you can change them
// create new PDF document; (i set PDF_UNIT from Milimeter  to Centimeter)
$pdf = new TCPDF(PDF_PAGE_ORIENTATION, PDF_UNIT, PDF_PAGE_FORMAT, true, 'UTF-8', false);

//set margin page (all direction)
//setMargins(LEFT,TOP,RIGHT)  in CM (centimeter), it's looks like MS Word :D
$pdf->SetMargins(1, 3, 1,true);


//setup Header
$pdf->SetHeaderMargin(1); // margin header 1 CM
$pdf->setPrintHeader(true); // enabled ? true
$pdf->SetHeaderData(false, 0, "Hellow World Header", "mynotework.blogspot.com"); //your text here
$pdf->setHeaderFont(Array(PDF_FONT_NAME_MAIN, '', 15)); // data font header

//Set Footer
$pdf->SetFooterMargin(1); // margin footer 1 CM
$pdf->setPrintFooter(true); // enabled ? true
//$pdf->setFooterData($tc=array(0,64,0), $lc=array(0,64,128));
$pdf->setFooterFont(Array(PDF_FONT_NAME_DATA, '', PDF_FONT_SIZE_DATA));

// set default monospaced font
//$pdf->SetDefaultMonospacedFont(PDF_FONT_MONOSPACED);

//set auto page breaks
$pdf->SetAutoPageBreak(true, 1.3); // it's use when u use table, to increase break page

// Set font
$pdf->SetFont('dejavusans', '', 14, '', true); // set global font

// Add a page, MUST BE DECLARATION at lease 1 statement
$pdf->AddPage();

// Set some content to print
$html = ' Hello World TCPDF';


// Print text using writeHTML()
$pdf->writeHTML($html, true, 0, true, 0);

// Buat output buffer page(I) / create file (F)
$pdf->Output('example_001.pdf', 'I');

//============================================================+
// END OF FILE
//============================================================+
?>

if you will use table ? simple ! , just write you HTML , for example


//some example
$html = ' <table>
                <tr nobr="true" border="1">
                       <td nowrap="true">this if my first cell</td>
                </tr>
             </table>';


// Print text using writeHTML()
$pdf->writeHTML($html, true, 0, true, 0);

*nobr="true" => no breakline
*border="1" => show border cell
*nowrap="true" => cell can increase width automatically when character veryyyy loooong :D
