Off Topic: PDF Creation

[mrhinman]

I have a MySQL database that uses PHP to display information about job applicants. One feature is a way for the HR staff to email applications in HTML format to clients for review prior to placement. Some applicants are not getting the HTML, but can get PDFs.

What would be a good place to start where I could output the same data to a PDF (formatted similarly), save it on the server, then email it to a client? A client's email is stored in a table on the same DB, so everything can happen server-side once it is initiated by the DB user.

Any points would be helpful. Sorry for off topic, I couldn't find a PDF forum.

That looks like a good starting point. Thanks! Any further comments appreciated, too.

I wonder, though, why I would get this error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: pdf_begin_document() in /...directories.../pdftest.php

phpinfo shows PDFLib installed.
