Example

See my app/autoload.php:

<?php

use Doctrine\Common\Annotations\AnnotationRegistry;
use Composer\Autoload\ClassLoader;

/**
 * @var ClassLoader $loader
 */
$loader = require __DIR__.'/../vendor/autoload.php';

AnnotationRegistry::registerLoader(array($loader, 'loadClass'));

$classMap = array(
    'Fpdf_' => __DIR__.'/../vendor/royopa/fpdf-symfony2/lib/FPDF/FPDF.php',
    'Fpdi_' => __DIR__.'/../vendor/royopa/fpdf-symfony2/lib/FPDF/FPDI.php'
);
$loader->addClassMap($classMap);

return $loader;

And My Controller:

<?php

namespace Acme\DemoBundle\Controller;

use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\Controller;

class WelcomeController extends Controller
{
    public function indexAction()
    {
        $pdf  = new \FPDF_FPDF();
        $pdi  = new \FPDF_FPDI();

        //my code...
    }
}
