HTML form to PDF
I would like to create a page where a user can submit an HTML application form that generates a PDF of it’s contents. Power users would then be able to view a list of the submitted pdfs from within the admin section.
Does anybody know if this could be achieved in Txp?
Cheers…

I don’t think such a plugin (yet) exists.
Just a little clue : the class fpdf generates PDFs. The main question is : what data from what kind of form ? (is it a contact form ?)

Re: HTML form to PDF
Hi Claire, sorry it’s taken awhile to get back to you. Thanks for the tip, it seems to work quite well (I’m trying it out now). I have it set up and am generating PDF’s by sending a simple form, now I have to work out how save them to the server (Rather than prompting a download). The form is an application form and although a little long seems to be quite straight forward, except that I need to add extra fields with javascript if required (Should be fun!).
Thanks again, I’ll keep you posted…

No problem. Business is business :)

Use the Output() method this way : $pdfObject -> Output( 'path/to/your/file.pdf', 'F' ) ;
Source : Reference manual

Yoohooo !

Ha ha, thanks for that but you were about 3 minutes too late, I had (literally) just cracked it!
Next time I’ll wait a bit. :)
Merci bien quand même…
