Need help with creating PDF from input data or fdf?

Post by nakins »

I created an html "Application Form" for a student organization to use to register applicants. I have a script that uses FDF to create a FDF file and email it to the person in charge of receiving the applications. This worked fine for me, but, this person would like it to come to them as a pdf, and not a fdf. Since I'm creating a fdf with this script, is there a way of merging the fdf to the pdf, and sending the filled pdf? The server that this organization is on is running php 4 and it does not have pdflib on it. Since pdflib isn't free, I doubt that it will be an option. What options other than pdflib and that pdf dll thing are there for me to get them a filled pdf? Does fdf have any type of merge function? I don't write much php code, but I can get around in it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
