Using PHP to generate EForm PDF documents

Post by gaagaagui »

I am generating Purchase/Sales orders in PDF format. All is well so far after downloading the pdflib extension module and updating php.ini. I do plan to purchase the Server license, but for now it is sufficient for testing. I need to take another step, however, towards a more interactive PDF document. For PDF docs, Adobe 5.0 provides the ability to attach eform elements like textboxes, buttons, etc. as well as the ability to run Javascripts corresponding to these eform elements. I would like to create the PDF documents with this functionality completely in PHP. Does anyone know if the pdflib library provides a way to do any of this? Thanks for any help!

He is trying to find out whether the pdflib library allows you to create PDF documents that can be filled in on-line, to create dynamic eforms.

gaagaagui - I'll move this topic across to the PHP forum to see if it gets a better response there.
