Server Side PDF Creation Hello guys, I haven't been on here in a long time, and I am hoping you could guide me into the best direction.  Our programmer needs to write server side code which would allow him to convert SQL data into a PDF document.  He would need to be able to embed the following information in the PDF. - In document hyperlinks - standard hyperlinks - SQL Data - Images I am guessing that he might need to purchase a library to help him code the solution.  I was looking at PDFlib. http://www.pdfstore.com/details.asp?ProdID=172&ssfp However, I figured I would ask the experts.  :-)  So here I am.  Maybe one of you have worked on a similar project in the past and have a better recommendation. Thank you in advance for your help. Chad     Started By sparkrulez on Feb 10, 2007 at 5:35:21 AM

ctcrmcou on Feb 10, 2007 at 11:04:12 AM (# 1) first things first, did you ever get an answer to your last question about hiding scripts?   sparkrulez on Feb 12, 2007 at 5:51:16 PM (# 2) I get a kick every time I see that thread.  It's amazing how long it has become.  I wrote that e-mail years ago, when I was poor, overdosing on coffee and programming in my cheap apartment. Old memories.. ;)   cdrom600 on Feb 12, 2007 at 6:40:51 PM (# 3) I know that at least one free solution is available for PHP; unfortunately, I forget its name at the moment. Googling 'PHP PDF creation' or similar should help. ChrisRickard on Feb 12, 2007 at 6:52:05 PM (# 4) I've used PDFLib years ago back in the old ASP COM ages but I haven't used it lately. What's your server platform? There's lots of free Java based libraries to build pdfs. .NET has a couple, and as cdrom600  there's at least one free PHP lib. cdrom600 on Feb 13, 2007 at 1:19:41 PM (# 5) Possibly helpful: FPDF, Apache FOP, tutorial using "only PHP".
