Then with a stock PDF or image and a library like this<http://www.tcpdf.org/>, you can insert the fields and generate a PDF for printing (you could also push the file to a print spooler after completion). ronnie On Mon, Nov 29, 2010 at 11:21 AM, Dustin Puryear <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: No, no copy&pasting.

I have a need to print a PO to an existing PDF from a Windows XP box. The existing PDF will replace a paper-based PO form. We can't alter the application that is doing the printer other than pointing it at another printer (in this case, the PDF printer). This isn't a typical "use a PDF form" since the end-user won't ever directly open the PDF. They are just printing to the PDF. We need to use an existing PDF/layout so that it includes the fine-print, etc. Thoughts? --- Puryear IT, LLC - We see IT differently.
