Remi Woler: Automating form creation with Zend_PDF
Remi has posted a new article on how to automate form creation with Zend_PDF.
After some digging around, I settled on a work-flow where I would create a PDF of an empty form once, use that as a template and use Zend_Pdf to ‘paste’ the text on top of it, saving the end result as a new PDF. Read on for a description of how I achieved this.
He then goes on to show with code samples exactly how to load up a template PDF file into a Zend_PDF instance and then add your own text at specific locations and finally save to a new PDF file.
It’s well worth a read.
