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 :

I am working on content oriented website and using I frames to display pdf.when I am opening that page in the mobile browser it starts automatically starts downloading the pdf,how could I display pdf file using iframe in browser instead of downloading.
Now i am thinking to convert pdf's into HTML and pass HTML file as source in frame.
Suggest me some other alternative if I'm wrong and if I'm right then suggested me some pdf to HTML convertors,which can convert in bulk as I have very large number of files.

One thing you can do is to upload your PDF somewhere and just use its URL.
You can also use Google PDF viewer for this purpose.
For more information check this Recommended way to embed PDF in HTML?
There are many ways you can make this possible one of them would be use the following <embed> element with source link to your pdf file :
<embed src="http://example.com/yourfile.pdf" width="1000" height="500" type='application/pdf'>
Another one is you can use the javascript library also :
pdf.js
and one last i have in mind is you can use google docs api url to view the : docx,doc,xls,pdf,ppt or any other document file online by using the method below:
https://docs.google.com/viewer?url=http://example.com/yourfile.pdf

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
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
