How to do what with an HTML form? Sounds like you're trying to get html/text to generate or transmit a PDF, but I don't see how that would work. I was suggesting replacing the PDF form entirely with an HTML version driven by a freemarker template.
Just create a simple application that uses a standard OFBiz form, storing the survey results in a custom entity. I'd start with one of the 'build-an-ofbiz-app' tutorials (there are several) and just customize the field name prompts in the freemarker template to fit the questions that your survey needs. The entity field names for example could be SurveyId, Q1, Q2, ... Qn, if the form is short, or "SurveyId", UserID", "QueryId", and "QueryResponse" for something longer. -- Matt Warnock <[email protected]> RidgeCrest Herbals, Inc.
