PDF and CDML

[dschaal]

I have a database which is collecting information from our membership on an annual basis through CDML. The member searches the database for their record and then updates their information. The questions are quite involved and there are at least 15 to 20 web pages worth of questions.

Is it possible when all is said and done for the member to "click" and print out a pretty copy of all of their answers? I saw something about using PDF forms with CDML to make this happen. Is this a developer's tool?

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance!

The only solution I can think of is to use AppleScript to create a PDF file from a layout in the database. You could also script FMP via AppleScript to email the PDF file tot eh user based on a email field in the database. Just a thought and naturally, you would need to be hosting the database(s) on a Mac.

You could use PHP with PDF extensions to create a PDF from the information.
