[PHP] help with some printing stuff
I'm having some trouble putting on a formatting to printer script. I've done it in ASP to print CDs tracklists... 4 per page. Since I know nothing about Word macros, I've done it in HTML and it's working fine... it's customizable and all.. but the problem I have is printers... since it's in HTML each printer prints the way it wants... cuz HTML is not a fixed doc or anything. So I was wondering if this would be easy to implement in PDF, it would be closed, fixed and printer independent cuz it would have fixed sizes of fields and all... is it easy... can anyone give me some pointers? thanks... -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If you want to cheat, I would create the html doc, then use one of the many HTML - PDF converters out there. Of course you could also create the PDF by hand, there is a module for that On Tuesday 25 September 2001 08:19, you wrote: I'm having some trouble putting on a formatting to printer script.

Re: [PHP] help with some printing stuff
what do you mean cheat??? I want the best solution possible... I don't want a bomb in my hands that will work for 100 orders but will crash and make the printer crazy with 10.000 orders... If I converted the html doc to PDF would it be as perfect as if I produced a PDF directly from PHP dinamically?
