Hello all.
I need to create a document template, were I can call it and sort of
'fill in the blanks'.
What I'm doing is created a PHP based network fax system. I want to
create a template for the fax cover sheet, and just fill in the needed
info when each cover sheet is created.
The template would consist of the basics: company logo, To:, From: etc,
flields.
The fax backend is based on eFax, which relies on ghost script. That
leaves the possibility of creating PDF, postscript, or GIF as my out
put.
I know I could just create the entire cover sheet with the PDFlib, but
I would rather just gernerate the info that changes from one fax to the
next.
Any thoughts on the best approach?
Thanks,
Chris
PS: The fax system I'm working on allows for faxing from ALL MS
windows applications that can print, and should be quite easy to
provide the same for *nix apps. The source will be made available if
anyone is interested.
