Here pdf.php file

require ("fpdf/fpdf.php");
$name = "Amit Samadder";
$pdf = new FPDF('p','mm','A4');
$pdf->AddPage();
$pdf->SetFont("Arial","B","20");
$pdf->Cell(100,10, $name, 1,0, "C");
$pdf->Output();

Have a look at http://fpdf.org/en/doc/output.htm
You need to change this line:
$pdf->Output();
To:
$pdf->Output('D', 'myfile.pdf');

Print PDF file with variables from other file?

I am wondering is it possible to print PDF file, and replace the blank spots in it with variables I get from my website, so output depends on the variable's value etc.

Use FPDF to do what you need.
But in this case you have to know that you must create a pdf file from scratch and fill it in the way you want.
<?php
require('fpdf.php');
$pdf = new FPDF();
$pdf->AddPage(); // add page to PDF
$pdf->SetFont('Arial','B',16); // Choose a font and size
$pdf->Cell(40,10,'Hello World!'); // write anything to any line you want
$pdf->Output("your_name.pdf"); // Export the file and send in to browser
?>

PDF cretaion of webpage with fpdf return blank

I am trying to create direct pdf of webpage. so i am using fpdf for that.
I have kept fpdf files on fpdf folder and created a separate create-pdf.php file with following code :

require('fpdf.php');
$url = $_GET[$url1];
$pdf=new FPDF();
$pdf->AddPage();
$pdf->SetFont('Arial','B',16);

And Created a Link to create pdf as follows :
Create PDF

How can i upload a pdf page generated with a PHP code?

I have a php page that creates a pdf file and output its on browser.
I want my php page to upload it on a webserver (cPanel). i've found lots of sites explaining how to upload file througt form and file type but i can't do this. Anyone knows how to?

You can use fpdf to do this easily.
require('fpdf.php');
$pdf = new FPDF();
$pdf->AddPage();
$pdf->SetFont('Arial','B',16);
$pdf->Cell(40,10,'Hello World!');
$content = $pdf->Output('doc.pdf','F');
This will save the pdf with content Hello World as its content in the public_html directory of your webserver.
Or you could use
file_put_contents("fileName.pdf", fopen("http://your.url.com/file.pdf", 'r'));

PHP Email the PDF file

I am using the following code to write my form data into a PDF file now how can I email that PDF file using a simple PHP code as an attachment?

$pdf->SetFont('Arial', 'B', 16);
$pdf->Cell(40, 10, $_POST['first_name']);
$pdf->Output();
mail('me#mydomain.com','subject','message')
?>

You can use FPDF to generate pdf file....
http://www.fpdf.org/
This is simple and best way to generate pdf...

Use TCPDF to generate PDF file,
TCPDF Site: http://www.tcpdf.org/
Demo: http://www.tcpdf.org/examples.php

#Mohit,
This
$content = $pdf->Output('doc.pdf','F');
generates a new file. If your file is generated using variables that can change in php, the pdf file you see on screen, will be different from the pdf file saved on the server.

You should generate pdf file using pdf libraries such as tcpdf or fpdf. Putting contents directly into a file with .pdf extension will definitely not working since pdf has its own file format
