Server-Side PDFs

[Jeff Hough]

We all know there is a limitation in outputting PDFs as a server-side operation. it has to do with the server not having head.

 

John Renfrew presented a possible solution at Pause on Error this past October in Portland. I believe his solution made use of the iText library and some sexy PHP.

 

John, is this solution ready to be shared? or licensed? I need the functionality in our solution.

 

Thanks,

Jeff

might not be the exact solution you mentioned but is worth a look

Thanks Kris. This might work. The solution that John presented used the FMP layout objects for the PDF. It was plug and play and very cool.
