Yep, I'm VERY lost.

I've been reading these PDF functions, and have only gleaned a little information. I am looking to open an existing PDF (it's 1 page, always the same W x H), then write one line of text somewhere on the PDF, then display it.. that's it. Any thoughts??

Thanks in advance,
Tom

    I had looked into this. Trick is you have to have the PDF license to use those functions if I remember correctly and they weren't cheap (in my opinion).

    There's PDF libraries for PHP out there, but I haven't found any that could open up an existing PDF and allow you to edit it. Although if you find something, let us know!

      The PDFlib library and such functions are active on my server. I can create a new PDF using them and output it. I just cannot figure out how to open an existing one and drop a line of text on it.

      It really doesn't mention anything about licensing, but I do own Acrobat... If anyone else has more information please let me know.

      Thanks in advance,
      Tom

        Any other comments on this problem by chance?

        Just a quick recap:

        I am trying to open an existing PDF file and overlay a line of text, then output it, but I have no idea where to start! My PDFlib is installed because I copied/pasted the clock script from PHP.net and it printed the analog clock fine.

        Please let me know if you have done this!

        Thanks,
        Tom
