So I'm using TCPDF to generate a PDF with multiple Text Areas in a form. On Submit I want to save this PDF including the newly added Text on my Server but I can't find a way to do it.
I'm using a form like this:

If I change the Output to F I just save the blank PDF to my server.
Any hint what I miss? Have the feeling it's just a simple setting thing.

I have a scanned pdf. The top of the pdf is a signed form and the bottom is a section that people can sign to subscribe to the contract. I have a form that can autopopulate the bottom portion although, since it is a scanned pdf, it has no form fields. Does anyone have a solution where using PHP a person can fill out the form and then autopopulate the bottom of the pdf with the data or create a layer over it with the data and merge it into one pdf. Another option possibly is to automatically add the top portion as an image with the form below it. Thank you in advance for your help.
Here is a link to a sample pdf.
You can use FPDI to write text into a template PDF file. See this example.
I have added blank pdf file in my ci project and wants to edit it dynamically.
I mean I have created some blank text fields in my pdf and wants to fill the value with ci code. please answer me is this possible or not.
Thanks.
Rather than editing an existing PDF you should use a PHP/PDF generator that creates a PDF from scratch and uses your supplied data in the PDF that gets created.
There are lots of open source libraries out there that can do this for you. Just search 'PHP PDF' but here is an example of one I've used with great success and it's easy to use:

i will programming a tool that can generating a PDF.
i´ve generated PDF´s with FPDF with static data´s in the past.
And now i will that the pdf will be generated by live editing.
e.g: the user can look the finaly pdf page and click on the law fields to type the text.
has anyone ideas?
Thanks !
It is not possible to directly edit PDF file in your browser. All you can do is just get input from user and generate PDF file based on it using fpdf(better use tfpdf for utf support) on your server.
How about you use a tool like TinyMce to edit your data ,grab the output html and create a PDF out of it using MPDF or html2pdf
I want to send a dynamic page for printing to labels using Fpdf, however I'm not entirely sure how to get Fpdf to display the contents of my php file.
The php file renders a page with the users url, avatar, custom user background and name in a contactcard.php file.
How would i go about sending this to PDF, using Fpdf?
I have tried creating a function but it will not print images in the PDF.
I've done a similar thing with a real estate property listing. I've output text and images to a pdf for saving or printing using fpdf and php.
I used a form with hidden fields. Click the form button then it goes to the fpdf page. The form uses Post so I can retrieve the data on the fpdf page with something like...
$username = $_POST(username);
The way I've included images is to link to the images directly, well kind of. I have an id retrieved from the database which I include in the file name to display the correct image e.g.
$image = "http://www.yourdomain.com/img/avatar_$id.jpg";
Then you would display them with fpdf like...
$pdf->Cell(10,0,$username,0,0);
$pdf->Image($image,30,36);
You could use sessions so you don't have to include a form. That should work also. Might be more suitable in your case.
I hope this is what you're after.
I have a PDF file that functions as a template containing only textboxes. Is there any way I can fill the fields in via PHP? I have found examples of how to directly draw onto a PDF document when given x,y values, but I want to put values into my textboxes rather than doing that.
Sourabh's link showed that this is impossible in Android, I'm reverting to using a HTML document with filler where the textboxs in the PDF were and replacing them in code.
