I am trying to make an online quiz application where the user will be presented with a quiz that contains text, images and math equations. I also want the user to be able to print that quiz. I am using MathJax to display the equations.
If the quiz contains just text and images but no math equations, I can use DomPdf to convert the quiz HTML to a PDF and have the user print it.
However, how can I go about creating a PDF that has both the content from the HTML tags in the quiz and the math equations from the quiz rendered by MathJax?
According to this post: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mathjax/forums/forum/948700/topic/3819537
wkhtmltopdf can convert the mathjax if you force a delay on the javascript rendering. I just got finished talking to a guy here:
Printing the current page to pdf using wkhtmltopdf
about how to get a page saved to pdf using wkhtmltopdf from php. If you put those two things together, I think you can get what you want.

I want to generate PDFs in PHP. How can I do this?
I tried generating page PDF using MPDF but it can't generate the whole thing on page like extra images on pages and details etc..
I have these inputs:
an HTML page
an Existing PDF, and some more HTML/stuff I want to draw on top of that PDF (text, html, circles)
an HTML Page
I want to render a 3-page PDF, and have them all be displayed on in a single PDF.
In other words, my question is How do I use an existing PDF as a template for more input
Can this be done from PHP and how?
Unfortunately, with wkhtmltopdf, you can't modify/edit an existing PDF.
With a custom XSL using this code, you could easily do it.

The backend rendering engine is XSL FO based which supports injecting a PDF as a background image.
So easy, I did you a sample. Go to this page:
http://www.cloudformatter.com/CSS2Pdf.CustomTipsTricks.BackgroundImages
Click the Open-> PDF button.
The "Top Secret" PDF is injected as a background, the HTML overlayed on top. You can use this solution to combine your HTML, PDF and HTML+PDF in any way you wish.
In fact, with HTML, this Javascript and a little customization you could have a document that was:
start document
format HTML div
format HTML div with this PDF background
format another HTML div
inject this entire PDF
format another HTML div with a different PDF background
inject a different entire PDF
...
end document
I am doing one web application society management system. In this application I want to generate pdf file for each user separately. Means during invoice generation , if there are 10 users then for each user separate invoice should get generated as a pdf after clicking on generate PDF button. My invoice got generated for each user but now I dont understand how to convert it into pdf dynamically. So please help me in this question ?
Use any of the following php scripts to generate dynamic PDF documents
fpdf: http://www.fpdf.org/
tcpdf: http://www.tcpdf.org/
You probably have to check out this lib: mPDF
It's quite easy to use and allows you to generate PDF from HTML templates.
Does anyone know how I can save a page as pdf in php?
Example:

Below you can see what the signature page looks like:
There are a number of PHP PDF API and tools which convert or wrap up html content including drawings, links and images etc.
A very good thread from StackOverflow :
Convert HTML to PDF using PHP
TCPDF can output PDF's from html: http://www.tcpdf.org/
If you need to use more advanced html you can use WKHTMLTOPDF: http://wkhtmltopdf.org/
