I have a PDF form with a table where multiple students information is to filled, as shown in the screen screenshot.
The traditional way to do is open PDF with acrobat and go to Form > Manage Form Data > Import Data.
Can we do it using PHP? Is it possible? Any hint, thanks in advance.
I have searched the internet but everywhere it is being told to fill the form fields. Couldn't find any solution specifying filling data into table.

I have created a form that looks like a Microsoft Excel sheet. User is entering data in form and submitting it. The data is successfully getting inserted into my database MySql.
I want to retrieve data from MySql and show echo the database values on my page in a excel sheet grid view.
Two ways:
First is to use html tables when fetching data.
Second is just make a simple input boxes & when you click submit, it will save as an excel file, in a temporary folder, php will fetch it and sql will save it in the database. Then you can just have a simple upload function to upload the excel file to your browser and it will display in a proper grid view. I have made this before and I can assure you this is possible. But if your still learning php, the first option is the fastest and easiest way.
I am using a gravity forms plugin and it takes long to edit the entries or data from the plugin interface itself. I can export data as a csv file and edit it in excel or any other csv supporting application. Now the thing is how can I import the data back into gravity forms without creating duplicates and only updated the fields I have edited? Or is there a plugin that can be used to import the data back and only update the fields I have edited?
Your assistance would be highly appreciated
I haven't used this before but I wanted to at least share it's existence with you.

A few people I know who have used it say that it does a great job with simple form data but for more complex field types, it doesn't hold up as well.
For customised forms , instead of creating html forms and using that to get input from user , how can we use PDF to get input from user and when posting how to store all input in xfdf .
Can any one please help me to solve this issue and v r using php
Instead of creating a HTML form, you create a PDF form and submit the data as XFDF, which can then easily imported into a database, for example.
For creating PDF forms, there are quite a few tutorials around.
I'm trying to import some XML data into XFA form through web server.
So, I have a HTML form which user populate, that data is stored in MySQL database. On other side I have an XFA form created in LiveCycle and wrapped in PDF, when user finish populating online form I need to place user's data in the XFA form and trigger the print it.
How can I do this? So far I had success using FPDM for real PDF form. Can I somehow convert XFA to real PDF form? Will I be able to print the PDF file through browser automatically when user clicks the button?
This is what I found, but it's too expensive to buy a licence:

I have an html page that has a form for the user to fill out after conducting a list of tests.
Once they are done filling out the form they submit and it is entered into a database table.
Is it possible to have this information also exported into an excel file with a predefined template (containing charts, and graphs) that would be downloaded onto the user's computer upon submit?
