Editable PDF's via PHP?

rulian

Is it possible to have dynamically generated PDF's with Editable fields prepopulated with database stored data?

I found classes available to allow you to construct and convert PDF's via php, but not one to have editable content on the PDF itself.

So, before I even being to research, is it even possible?

That one doesn't seem too editable to me 🙁

you need acrobat, if you create PDF's in acrobat you can have places to enter information, save or print. Alot of forms online are editable to so you can enter information and do with it what you wish, some even email I think.
