I wasn't sure where to post this...

Is is possible to have a form that submits the input into an instantly printable pdf?

I use a site that does something like this but I have no idea how to do it myself.

My goal is to have users of my forum be able to input their username and other information and have it appear on a printable business card template in pdf format.

You will need to programatically create the pdf after the form is submitted. You can do this with a free component (linkware) from WebSuperGoo - http://www.websupergoo.com/products.htm#pd

PDF creation is usually via a virtual printer driver (PDF format is postscript with some extensions under the covers), so privs might be tricky on the box (printer drivers installed on server, I_USR having rights to print, then save the individual files, etc)

Might be hard work, but good luck :-)

Stumbled across this and thought it might be worth posting. I think someone else was looking for something similar, but I can't seem to remember who or where it was...
