Hey, that's my username!
Ok, back to work...
I use http://www.ros.co.nz/pdf/ to put a pdf of a contract up with the
customer's info already inserted so they can just print it off after
storing or retrieving it from a MySQL database.
I'm not sure how well it will do FDF format...the version I use
predates that :>)
Two benefits to this one:
1) it is free
2) it is simple...maybe too simple...but works great
hth,
John T. Jarrett
