Formatting output of the customer info into a existing PDF file
May 17, 2012, 11:34:22 am
My customer has a group of boards that need to review each of their members application in hard copy so they can give their point of view etc. They already have a PDF file with all the fields that need to be filled in. I was wondering if there's a way to create a PDF file formatted to the PDF file that they already have created. I was thinking in just outputting what I have in the session variables and map the values to where they should be located in the PDF file, but I've never done that and I'm a little scared because I think that would require some significant amount of coding. I was just wondering if there's a way to do it easier/faster or if anyone knows about an extension that can be used to solve my problem. I would appreciate any help on this.
