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 a PHP script that accepts user data from a form to generate a customized PDF for them to download.
Requirements:
Start with a fully-designed PDF with form fields throughout.
Fill certain PDF text fields with user data from the form.
Add an uploaded logo to the PDF (either over top of PDF or as an image field).
Save a copy of the PDF to the server and give the user a link for download.
Maintain the fillable form functionality of the PDF once the user downloads it.
The form with image upload works great.
So far I have looked into mPDF, FDPI, TCPDF, FPDF and FPDM, but each have their limitations.
mPDF (and anything leveraging FPDI) flattens the PDF, which removes the fillable fields when the user downloads. So despite being able to overlay the text & image and save the PDF successfully, this does not meet our needs.
TCPDF and FPDF cannot start from an existing PDF, only create from scratch.
FPDM can populate the text fields and maintains the fillable fields upon download (does not flatten), but I am not finding a way to add the logo image alongside this. I tried sending the image an image field in the PDF itself, but as expected this does not work due to how image fields in PDFs function (buttons with JS attached).
I'm looking for any PHP libraries/scripts that can place the logo image into the PDF without flattening it and removing the fillable quality. It feels like it's so close between all these options but none are 100%.
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 need help with a small code. I have created a HTML page that has many author names as a link. I have also created a custom pdf generator using tcpdf. Now, I need to know how do I get the authors name mentioned in the HTML on to the pdf PHP page?
HTML page is not a form. So i reckon I cant use $_POST or &_Get?
I recently have a project, I am creating a booking system.
there's only one thing that I need to do to finish it.
I want my web form to be converted into a dynamic PDF file.
Means, when a user makes a booking, he will fill up the web form, after all fields are filled up, it will be saved to the database and the web form will be converted to PDF that will be email to the client's email address.
Is there a plug-in that I need to use? How can I make my form be converted to PDF and be sent to user??
If there is, can you kindly give me a link to it?
I would gladly appreciate any help from you guys.
Thanks
