Using:

<?php

$fdf = fdf_create();
fdf_set_file($fdf, "/sjensen/pdf/test.pdf");
fdf_set_value($fdf, "YourName","Steve");

fdf_set_file($fdf, "http://172.16.128.200/sjensen/pdf/test.pdf");
Header("Content-type: application/vnd.fdf");
header("Cache-Control: public");

fdf_save($fdf);
fdf_close($fdf);
?>

All I can get is Mozilla to give me a save/open choice, with "the file pdf.php is of application/vnd.fdf (php script) " . If I save and rename it from .php to .pdf, I can't open it - all I get is "invalid pdf" file.

Any ideas, or a pointer to a good tutorial on filling out PDF forms dynamically with PHP?

    Have you looked at the fpdf lib functions, this makes creating pdf very simple.... www.fpdf.org

      Yes, but I don't want to create PDFs from scratch. I have a PDF form, and I want to fill in field values before displaying it for printing/saving.
