Thanks, but by now I'm pretty much sold on the idea of FPDF and creating PDFs on the fly, inserting data I need as I go. Is there any advantage using pdftk? The only advantage would be that others could create the PDFs and give them to you.

I used this setup to allow region offices to send me the PDF that they wanted to be used for generating reports for their users. I gave them a list of field names and they were able to choose which ones to include on the report, which order, etc. FPDF is a great way to go - I've used it for other projects. Thought I'd share this method so you'd have more options. :) Brady
