RE: [PHP-WIN] Filling out PDF Forms Dynamically

Ron, You should look into FDF. (http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.fdf.php). I tested it out (using the function in the second to last comment - I didn't want to recompile PHP for a one PDF file script) and it seems to work rather well. I'm not sure if this is exactly what you want, though. -Dash -----Original Message----- From: RS Herhuth [mailto:ronherhuth@mindspring.com] Sent: Saturday, January 06, 2001 6:23 PM To: php-windows@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP-WIN] Filling out PDF Forms Dynamically I have been tasked to create a php web app that merges database information with a k1 web form that was downloaded from IRS.com. Basically the pdf contains fields that the user would fill out and then either save it locally or print it out. I have a database with about a thousand people in it (of tax information prepared by our accountant) that I would like to merge the data with the PDF form acting as a template and then once it has been merged, email a copy both to our accounting department and the individual. I'm no slouch when programming with PHP, but I haven't done anything with PDF's before...can someone give me some pointers on a tutorial or outline how I should approach this?
