Project Breakdown:
A client has requested that a web application that will allow a user
to request business cards via a web form. Once the user submits the
information for the business cards, they're presented with a final
"proof" of what their card will look like. This proof is done in the
form of a PDF file. Once the user approves of the proof, the PDF file
is automatically attached to an email and sent to the printer. The PDF
file is then used to print the cards.

The Problem:
My original thought when tackling this project was to use FPDF (an
open source, PHP library used to dynamically create PDF files) to
generate the business cards. However, it is unable to handle the
precise tolerances used when creating business cards (we're talking
hundredths of an inch). I've also tried using EZPDF to no avail.

My second angle of attack was to see what Adobe had to offer in terms
of an API/SDK that would allow me to dynamically create the PDFs. The
problems I'm having now is mostly due to a lack of examples and
information. I am unable to find any JavaScript SDK/API examples that
are anything like what I've described. So,

1. Can anyone point me in the right direction regarding concepts/
commands
within the API.

2. Can anyone point me to some thorough start-to-finish Acrobat
Professional SDK tutorials? I can't seem to find anything that
shows
exactly how to integrate the JavaScript commands with the PDF
viewer.

When I asked this question on the actual Adobe Help Forum for the SDK,
I got the following response:

The Acrobat SDK is not suitable for your purposes in any way.
This is
because it works by using Acrobat to do the work, and Acrobat is
not
for server use.

However, Adobe do produce their PDF Library (licensed by
DataLogics).
This provides a C/C++ interface based on the Acrobat plug-in API,
with
no requirement for Acrobat.


There's a good chance I'm headed in the wrong direction with this one.
If nothing else, I'm hoping someone has done a project similiar enough
to this one to show me the error of my ways.


Thanks for your help
