Submitting Data to a PDF from via a HTML Form

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Nov 22.2008

Hello all,

I am working on a Site for a Business Card Printing Company. I currently have a html form in which users enter all their Contact information that will eventually be printed on their Business Card.

What I would like to do is to somehow import the user-submitted data into a PDF file that already has the Company logo and other graphical elements on it, and then show the user the PDF with their newly entered data on it.

I am trying to do this so that the user can see what their card looks like and can approve it on the spot. My main concern right now is that the text won’t always be at exactly the right spot every time. Also, I would like to make it so that if a user skips a field, the fields on the PDF Document will re-position themselves accordingly so there are no unwanted line gaps on the business card.

What are some easy to use php classes which address my issue?

Thanks.

@MindzaiNov 22.2008 — I've never used it so I can't help with specifics, but PHP implements the PDFlib library so that's probably a good place to start.

Success!
