I would like to populate pdfs with data inputed from html forms. I've been using activepdf to do this with ASP, but we are switching to unix so need to find a different solution. Right now I used Acrobat Web Capture to make PDF's that look exactly like my html forms (including field names). Then it goes:
html form -> user inputs data -> active pdf inputs into pdf form -> writes to a new, flat pdf file (not a form) (the last part essentially preservers the pdf form so it can be reused for any number of submissions)
Is there a way to do this with php alone or with some additional program. I've looked at pdflib, but am not sure it can do this. As a secondary option, I could also live with something that converted an html page to a pdf. I'd just have to post the form to itself.
I've been running around circles without finding a clear answer yet. Any help/discussion would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
