Add a new page to a FDF file using PHP

kyrsa

Hello,

My program is like that : user fill fields (sources written in PHP), and after that, get a FDF file. He may fill many times the same page, so if he fill this page 5 times for example, my program must add 5 pages based on the first one.
I've tried to do it with Acrobat 5 (writer) only, and it's running well (create a template, then with a javascript code, add pages). But now, I'd like to make it run on the web ..

I've found on php.net 2 functions :

- fdf_add_template , which adds a template into the FDF document
- fdf_set_javascript_action which sets an javascript action of a field

Maybe I have tu use this functions, but I can't make it work ..

I'm using PHP, FDF Toolkit, Adobe Acrobat 5.0 .. My website will run onto a Sun Platform.

Please, if you have any idea, could you reply directly to my email or here ? I've been searching the answer for weeks but I couldn't find anything.

theres gotta be some way to just add text or something...i dont know anything about fdf but theres gotta be a way. you might even be able to use fwrite at a certain line if your document if fdf works that way at all?
or if fdf files can use outside text files its really easy

this is my source :

<?
$pdf_source = "http://mysite.com/pdf/myform.pdf" ;
$fdf_out = "myform.fdf" ;

reset ($HTTP_POST_VARS);
$i = 0 ;
while (list ($k, $v) = each ($HTTP_POST_VARS) )
{
$champs[$i] = $k ;
$valeur[$i] = $v ;
$i ++ ;
}

$outfdf = fdf_create();
//fdf_set_value($outfdf, "volume", $volume, 0);
$j = 0 ;

while ($j < $i )
{
fdf_set_value($outfdf, $champs[$j], $valeur[$j] , 0);
$j++ ;
}

fdf_set_file($outfdf, $pdf_source);
fdf_save($outfdf, $fdf_out);
fdf_close($outfdf);
Header("Content-type: application/vnd.fdf");
$fp = fopen($fdf_out, "r");
fpassthru($fp);
unlink($fdf_out);

?>

And i'd like to add pages if $valueX > 10 (for example)

There is the 2 functions written in my previous post.
I've tried to use them, but I don't know where to put the line, and really how to use it. I've tried many solutions, but no way 🙁
