Searching for Visual PHP PDF Design Tool

Currently to design PDFs using PHP 4.4.1 on a PostgreSQL 8.1.2 database platform in a Windows environment, I use a set of PDF library functions (FPDF freeware) which require me to state the x and y coordinates to create PDF controls.

I would like to use a visual PDF form designer which interfaces with PHP/PostgreSQL so I can simply create the fields in a visual environment and they would dynamically have the database field values. Does such a creature exist or any suggestions?

Can't think of any.. have you Googled such a beast? I doubt you'll find one however :-(

If it makes it easier you could sketch it out in a Photoshop document that is one pixel wide for every "point" in the PDF maker.. don't forget that the X and Y co-ordinates start in the lower-left corner for some PDF libs.

Cheers,
Kieran
