    Default Fill form field in existing PDF from database live

    Hi,

    I'm wondering if this is possible.

    To have a pre-generated PDF on a server with an existing form field for a personalized message. Then, dynamically fill in the form field from a MySQL database. Then send the PDF via email. This will be handled with PHP for the most part.

    The alternative is to have the server generate the PDF on the fly. However, due to the way the PDF generation hits the server we'd like to just have a single line or paragraph dynamically generated. The question really is can an existing PDF be altered on the fly by using form fields?

    Thanks

    It can, with additional server software like Appligent's FDFMerge(Lite).
