Export PDF document according to input from form
Posted: Sat Aug 08, 2009 6:20 am
Hi all,
I'll try and keep this brief.
Short version:
After the user has input information into the form. I want them to be able to click a button such as 'Finish' and a PDF will be generated.
The form will simply have 12 drop down boxes, allowing them to select up to 12 options in whatever order they choose.
Each option will have about a paragraph of text and 3 small images allocated to it, for when the PDF is generated.
Additionally, if more than 4 options are chosen then it needs to know to put only 4 to a page, and put the next 4 on the next page.
I would like this to export and print to a letterhead that I already have set up in both PDF and DOC formats.
A name and date will also be input in the form page and I would like that exported at the top.
I assume I will need to use a MySQL database to store the 12 options and their relative info and images. I will also be setting up a login system so that the info can be changed/updated in the future.
Any ideas of how I would go about this would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Mike
