There's a need in my application (PHP5/Laravel5) to let users download a PDF file where some of the fields in that PDF should be pre-populated based on a form the user fills online.
Is there some PHP library we can use to provide for that functionality? Doesn't have to be free.
Thanks!
you can use tcpdf.

I am currently developing a web app using PHP. At first, User will fill in a form then submit the data to database, this info will display in Admin page. The Admin has to view the content of the form and do verification job.
Previously, after User fill in data, I convert the form to PDF using FPDF library and save the PDF in database instead. Now, I am developing the web app under AWS services. I wonder if there is any better option to do the job.
Should I save the form data in different columns or convert them to pdf before inserting into database (MySQL)? Is FPDF a good option to convert? Or there is any other library?
Thank you.
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 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

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
