i have 5 PDF's that are editable, if i open it on the website, i can still write on it. What i wanted to know is, after the user fills the pdf, how can i make it save what the user filled and "update" the pdf to save it on the database?
Is there something that does it?
Am i suposed to open the pdf it self in the browser? or a page that includes the pdf as a frame or something
I've already researched a bit but i only find building the form into a PDF, i wanna edit the pdf and save the pdf. It goes in blank and then the user saves it with all the information.

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:
https://tcpdf.org/examples/example_054/
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.
So my server loads in a pdf and shows it.
This pdf contains forms to fill in.
I want these forms editable in the browser(Currently I use an embed for the pdf) and then a button to save the pdf(To the webserver, not to the client!).
The reason I don't make an html form out of it is because there are 5 different pdf's to do this to and total of 60 pages of inputs to fill in
Any ideas on this?
EDIT: This is created with Adobe Forms Central
i am using fpdf to generate reports in php. I don't want users to save the generated pdfs. They will only print the documents.How can i do it?Any help will be appreciated.
Pretty sure as long as this is sent to the client's browser from the server to display the pdf there is honestly nothing you can really do to prevent a user from "saving" it, they'll find a way.
Trying to prevent users from saving the PDF is the same as trying to prevent users from creating screenshots, they always find a work around. Also to be able to print PDF, the PDF has to be stored in the users cache to send it to their printer. Also some browsers cannot show the PDF with the option to print it, they have to download the PDF to open it in ie Adobe Reader to print it from there.
I would like to suggest not to create PDF for this, otherwise if PDF will be opened at browser that can be easily saved or copied. If you allow users to download it then make a copy of report in PDF and let client download it.
I have built a blog system where each entry has an associated image file. I have created a php upload for this system and can get everything onto the server. When I write each blog post I have a row in my database which stores the filename of the image, so I could, if I knew the filename already, just type it in.
What I want to do is on my blog post form, instead of being able to type the file name, I want a button to click on which opens a window with all my images in it, then I can click on one and have that filename sent back to the form.
I suppose I could use AJAX to do this but it seems over complicated. Does anyone know of a good way to achieve this.
