We have a high resolution PDF (for printing) on which there are some form fields. We would like to have an HTML form that is sent to a PDF file, which is then placed in the appropriate fields.
I found a solution on google: http://koivi.com/fill-pdf-form-fields/
However, with this solution, you only get the FDF file ... And the demo does not work for me, opening the FDF file just loads another FDF file.
Since this PDF file will be available to the public, we would like to keep it as simple as possible. If we need to open our original PDF and import this FDF file, we need another solution (which I'm not sure why the FDF file is for, because it does not work).
The .net framework related publication had the same idea, but there were only paid commercial solutions: From HTML form to PDF
The PHP solutions I have found so far are designed to create a new PDF document that I don't need. Our PDF file was created using Adobe Illustrator (or a similar Adobe product) and has high resolution with built-in fonts, svg and graphic content.
The form elements are in place, we just need to get the data there.
