Concerning a request from the client where she hopes to customise a record, preferably an Adobe pdf file document but certainly a Word document will perform, with details from the user that were submitted via a web site form.
Is this possible and when will i do it
I usually work with ASP for web site programming. Can the idea be done together with that
Concerning also created CGI net applications using Delphi before, and I know Delphi can be used to customise Word documents. Is that the way to go
Just to help to make clear what I want to do:
– User fills within form on web site (name, company, location etc).
– Web site takes details and also uses them in order to customise Adobe or Word document.
– User is exhibited this document to download or impress which contains their name, company, location etc…
Thanks,
Stephen
Well, as far as I am aware it’s gonna end up being quite difficult to write with a *. doc document, it could be possible, though.
With PHP for example (only language I will help you out with ), you have available the function fwrite() to write things a file, nevertheless thats senseless due to the fact *. doc may be a binary. Also its a closed structure. I remember Pear features a class for generating simple excel linens, maybe they have something for this, too..
YOUR. DOC file will probably be easy… just compose it as HTML DOCUMENT and save this file as. DOCTOR. Word will alter the HTML to RTF when it opens the file initially.
YOUR. PDF file will be more difficult with ASP… for that you’ll need a plug-in component that enables you to write PDFs. I’m sure TheGAME had this problem not too long back. Try searching:
