edit PDF with PHP

  #1  
Jul 4th, 2008
I am trying to find out if it is possible to edit/add to an existing PDF file with PHP. I have a PDF agreement document that needs to have the client's name inserted on the blank field. The document will then be printed for their signature. I've created PDF's with PHP, but would like to just simply add the name without creating the entire document, if at all possible.

If this is possible, can someone please direct me to a tutorial, web site, book or include a simple snippet to help?

Thanks,
Pasquale

If so, I'd love to know how this is done myself!

I have not played with it yet, I'm sure the functionality is limited, but I think you may be able to add, insert and possibly delete pages. You may be able to do more with it too, not quite sure, but check this out http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread133021.html
