Hi,
I am currently undertaking a final year project and want to auto-fill 3rd party pdf forms with data from our database tables using php. Can anyone please point me in the right direction on how best to achieve this.

Many thanks in advance,
Fonzie

Welcome to WebmasterWorld, fonzie55!

The only PDF generating stuff I've tried is FPDF. I have no idea if it will fill in form fields for you. I guess you have to RTM

But you say, these are 3rd party forms? Ones you didn't create yourself? That's going to make it more challenging, for sure

Good luck!

Hi httpwebwitch! Thanks for the welcome!

Ya, forms that I didn't create myself. It is ambitious but I haven't given up hope yet!
