PHP3 is (maybe was) able to do a search/replace inside any file, including PDF's. With a PDF template which includes (even several) placeholders e.g. <Name> and <Address> PHP would automatically replace the placeholders with data from a DB or user input. Handy for making printable invoices and receipts. BUT: this only worked with PDFs format 1.2 and older (Acrobat 3.x) where pure text was still included (no encoding ? no compression). I have an example made with PSSCRIPT.DRV version 4.0 from MSWord (v.95?) through Distiller 3.01. Maybe this does not work well with Vista ? Cheers, Sveinn ?
