PDF Help

[SPYDERIX]

Hi there,

I have built myself an invoice section where PHP connects to my database and populates a template for client invoices.

The question is this. Can I create a blank PDF with a vector logo in it, upload it, then have php read the pre-existing pdf file, write the invoice to it and save as a new file or just show on the fly? My main concern is getting the logo to be vector when the end user sees/reads/downloads it then prints it.

Is this possible to do? If so, can I then have it put security on it? How does this all work exactly?

Thanks aot.

is it possible? yes, in principle. when i looked a few years ago i did not find any freeware libraries that allowed you to manipulate existing pdfs. I believe that such libs now exist.

however, why bother? just add the image on the fly. you might have a look at this thread for inspiration

If I can add an .eps image on the fly and specific the exact co-ords and size then perfect. Is that possible?
