I'm wondering is this is possible or not?
Suppose i have div containing 10 Questions,Options and Answers.
Now,if user want to copy content of that div he has to manually select and copy the content using mouse and paste on his editor(Ms Word or some other editors).
But what i want is when user clicks the download button the content gets copied to the pdf(or other file) file and can be downloaded.
You need to use fpdf for that
Here's a nice tutorial of how to create a pdf file using PHP
Reference
FPDF is probably the best library to create PDF's in PHP
Check out fpdf website here :
http://www.fpdf.org/
Best for
Multiple layers of text/images
Watermarks
Barcodes much more
Do check out the Scripts section in the website
Great PDF lib for creating PFDs is mpdf just try example, you would be amazed how easy it is: http://www.mpdf1.com/
i think, you need fpdf lib.
to create txto other similiar file from the content of the page:
open/create file
read_page = read the page content
file_put_content(read_page)
file is ready to download

I'm very new to PHP and wanted to know how to create a single download link for 2 pdf files using php. Do I need to write an individual download.php file to execute or can I simply add it to my index page using an tag in html? I need it to work across all browsers.
I have 2 documents that are in their own folder named "forms" and not sure how to create a simple text link that will let a user download both documents in a single click.
I agree with the other answers, this is not the best practice, you should use one button/link for each file, it's even easier to understand what's been displayed for the user. You should probably use two icons or links.
Look up for w3schools, they have good tutorials of how to use icons, links, html, css and javascript.
There are some links:

I have added blank pdf file in my ci project and wants to edit it dynamically.
I mean I have created some blank text fields in my pdf and wants to fill the value with ci code. please answer me is this possible or not.
Thanks.
Rather than editing an existing PDF you should use a PHP/PDF generator that creates a PDF from scratch and uses your supplied data in the PDF that gets created.
There are lots of open source libraries out there that can do this for you. Just search 'PHP PDF' but here is an example of one I've used with great success and it's easy to use:

I would like to know if it is possible to load a PDF and edit it.
The PDF is a brochure with few pages, i would like to put in few images from my database and save it.
Thank you
You can import pages of an existing PDF document with FPDI. After that you can place the images on top of them with the standard Image() method of FPDF.
Editing a PDF is very difficult programmatically, especially if it wasn't programmatically generated.
A better option would be to make your source file an HTML file, then make your edits to the HTML and convert it to PDF.
If this is a one-time task, it would be easiest to open the document in Acrobat (Pro), and exchange the images using the Edit text and Images tool.
Another way with Acrobat would be creating a Button form field over the image to be replaced (transparent border, transparent background, no action). Then you import the new image as icon, and flatten the page afterwards.
i will programming a tool that can generating a PDF.
i´ve generated PDF´s with FPDF with static data´s in the past.
And now i will that the pdf will be generated by live editing.
e.g: the user can look the finaly pdf page and click on the law fields to type the text.
has anyone ideas?
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
Does anyone know how I can save a page as pdf in php?
Example:
I have a page that is able to catch the users signature. Now I would like to create a button on the page that will convert the page into pdf so that the file can be saved to a folder.
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/
