INeedAGig Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 I'm a little confused as to how to approach this. I am needing to allow a user of my website to fill out a PDF and have the contents automatically emailed to me after the user submits the filled out pdf, which I want to be all done in the browser, as far as the user filling out the PDF, kind of like the way a normal form works.

trq Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 This has what to do with HTML? Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/258871-pdf-on-website/#findComment-1327087 Share on other sites More sharing options...
INeedAGig Posted March 14, 2012 Author Share Posted March 14, 2012 I'm not saying it's an HTML issue, I wasn't sure where to post this...maybe as an admin you can point me in the right direction? Also, it wouldn't be a bad a idea to have a 'General Coding Help' forum for people to post in, for times where we might not know the actual language/function that is needed. Now, I haven't really dealt with in browser PDF activity, but I do have experience with forms and email forms (PHP). I'm trying to figure out where I would start with something like this. I've researched this on Google myself trying to find anything about it, and there really isn't much relevant to what I am trying to do. Help is appreciated, not a negative sounding reply. Thanks.

mikosiko Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 maybe this help you http://koivi.com/fill-pdf-form-fields/tutorial.php is a couple techniques explained there, scroll down until the part "Using a PDF form to allow users to fill in the data." ... that is an example for what are you looking for basically you need: - A PDF file with dynamic fields and actions - A way to display that PDF to your users ... one restriction that you could find is if your users don't have a pdf viewer integrated in their browsers to display it on-line. - in case that the user is capable to view and fill the pdf in their browser you will need a script to capture and process the data (the script is defined inside of the pdf file) good luck Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/258871-pdf-on-website/#findComment-1327384 Share on other sites More sharing options...
