I have a MySQL database that contains records which I been able to export into a proper FDF file using PHP code examples I have found on the web. The example I have used relies on the PDFTK program to make the bridge between the created FDF and the PDF template, however, I cannot run PDFTK on my shared UNIX webserver, so I am looking for a different way to (preferably using PHP) open the PDF with the FDF data.
I can do this manually. I can open the PDF in Acrobat, then go to FORMS > MANAGE FORM DATA > IMPORT to populate the PDF with the FDF data, but I need a solution for staff to use that happenings seemlessly. It seems like such a little thing--just getting the PDF to open with the FDF. But I have not found code that does this.
Thanks for any suggestions. R
