Advice for design using PDF files in PHP
Posted: Wed May 19, 2004 12:04 pm
Hey guys a little new to PHP. My backgroung is in ASP but I'm making the switch.
I have a problem I am trying to solve for a custmer. They have a large PDF file which they upload to a database I have created for thier site. Rather than just a link to the PDF file they would like to display it's contents on the web page(s).
Now I have tried embedding the PDF to the page but it still must load the whole thing, not good considering most of their users are dial up.
Is there a way create the html within a PHP page from the pdf file in their site. The PDF will change so it needs to be dynamic, but I need links and all.
Is this even possible?
