    Easy PHP-PDF creator based on templates

    Is there an easy way to make a PDF document from a template?

    I have a particular layout in word/illustator which I would like to
    use as a template and just replace the images and insert the text on
    the fly from my database.

    The pdfclasses I have give me the capability of doing it all by hand,
    but I'm thinking of a time saving way to get it how I want instead of
    endlessly playing with arrays and table layouts.

    Kind regards

        yea,

        before..

          database -> xml -> xslt -> xsl-fo -> pdf

          Plenty of resources on the Internet for this. Try Apache's FOP for the
          translation. Lot of work to learn. Kind of the wrong group to discuss
          this topic.
