PDF creation

Post by snicolas »

Hey,

I have a PDF document , type of contract sign up, with empty space for people to write their name, address etc...
I am wondering if it's possible to create a php form that will collect these nformation (name, address etc...) and insert them automatically on my template for the user to print the form directly?

I understand it's possible to create pdf on the fly, but how to insert data in specific place on a pdf?

If you have some code example, will appreciate...

Thx

S

It's one thing to create a PDF, it's another thing entirely to edit a pre-existing one. I think the professional version of PDFLib will let you do that, but I don't think there's anything free that has this capability.
Real programmers don't comment their code. If it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand.

you didn't read the thread too well.. I linked to and talked about how to edit an existing PDF with that tool.
