did you install the 'haru' extension? Try running `pecl install haru` first.
PhD uses that extension to deal with the actual pdf generation.

PhD generates a specific PHP code for the php.net website.
That code is really just pre- and post-hooks that call into the actual
php.net website to handle the user notes.
It shouldn't be very hard to add such system to PhD, but it would have
to make several assumptions about your environment, which may not be
very reliable all the time....

You would probably be better of by extending the builtin formats and
inject your own code there.
