Hi akbar ali butt,

Without knowing further details, it's hard to say if it's possible or not. It is certainly possible to open, create and modify PDF's using PHP's built in PDF functions. You may benefit from reading through the PDF functions that PHP offers and deciding for yourself if that will be enough to suit your needs:

Let us know if you have further questions.

To re write url dynamically you need to fetch data from Db and write
echo "<script>window.location='Your URL from DataBase';</script>"
its sipmle and works or use function header("Location: URL");
