Ah, so you definitely need the pdflib extension?  That means your only
option here is to downgrade to php-5.6 I'm afraid.  (Otherwise you could
simply have dropped the PDF support from phpMyAdmin.)

Hmmm... it's odd that there's apparently no fix freely available to make
pecl-pdflib work with php-7 by this late date.  There is apparently
something commercially available from the pdflib people themselves, but
obviously, you have to pay for that:

https://www.pdflib.com/fileadmin/pdflib/System_Requirements/PDFlib-9.0.7-system-requirements.txt

Also, no idea if phpMyAdmin can use the PHP bindings there.

	Cheers,
