mishu007

I want to developed a Page through PHP/mySQL where the Page will generate a PDF file. the data comes from the DATABASE. But there are some Problem. i dont want to save the File in my server. I need a Downloadable PDF format.

So when the user click on a particular link he can download the PDF format.

Please help me with an example...

Check out http://www.pdflib.com/ for PDFLib. I use the licensed version of this, but there is a 'lite' unlicensed version available on their web-site. The nice thing about it is that it will create a PDF file in memory, no need to save it on the server. It is highly integrated with PHP and there are many examples of just what you are looking to do.

It doesn't matter what PDFLib is written in, it has a PHP API. You use it to generate your PDF. I may be misunderstanding what you want to do. If so, could you please elaborate.

I want to develop the Pdf from scratch(From database). but dont want to save that.. After pdf generation it can be easily downloaded by the user.
