JDBTek Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 I am a new user to PHP and have a PDF form hosted online. I currently am exporting data to FDF format that can be imported using form import data in Acrobat Pro to fill the PDF. My client does not have and will not get acrobat and would like the form in PDF format. I have looked through many options including PDFlib, FPDF, and other third party additions for creating pdf's, but all relate to new pdfs and not to existing ones to be saved to the server. If I could find a server-side print to pdf that will include the form data, that would be great. Any help is greatly appreciated... and please note again that I'm new to PHP Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/60471-pdf-form-to-pdf-file-saved-on-server/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
tippy_102 Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 fpdf allows you to overwrite on an existing pdf file. Maybe I don't understand what you are trying to do?

akitchin Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 looking at PDFlib (which i think is the most comprehensive PHP PDF function set out there), it only allows you to create the form fields as you said. i assume this means you'd have to save the form information somewhere (text file, db somewhere) and construct a carbon copy of the form with the saved info where the fields would normally be, and save that.
