Filling in PDF with HTML form data via php, PDF Tool Kit

Hi, First, my head is stopped up and I'm not operating at full capacity this morning.

 

I've had an online form that collects data from an HTML form and creates a FDF file. This FDF file is then emailed to me via the PHP script. Once I receive the FDF files, I open each one up in IE and it fetches the Matching unfilled PDF and presents the filled in pdf on screen, where I save it to a directory and then manually e-mail the filled in pdf to the proper person.

 

I wanted to fix this and produce a filled in pdf on the server, and have the server email it directly to the proper person. This website is an education related site that my employeer sponsors.It is on a shared server at Liqiud Web.

 

I found PDF Took Kit, and I was told by a Liquid Web person that I could add "Stuff" to my site as long as it was local to my account.

 

Has anyone set up PDF Tool Kit on a shared server? Is this something that can be done on a shared server? PDFtk has to be compiled, and I'm not sure if I can do that.

 

Any other options? Any suggestions?
