editable pdf

[spirit]

Hi all,

I want to create a online PDF form wherein the user can fill up the information in the PDF form just like one can do in a word document. Even if the user saves the copy of the form still he should be able to fill in the information in that PDF form.

Can any one suggest the guideline for that?

Thanks

Let the user fill in a 'normal' text form, save the text in the database and generate PDF from it.

Later, when the user wants to update it, read the saved text from the database, show it in your form, save it in the database and generate a PDF form.

You can always make a front page that has the look and feel of a regular PDF editor.

If you want this in another way: buy a commercial PDF package and give that to your user.
