Hi, I plan to dynamic generate some of the documents I need on a regular basis. Sometimes they only differ by the name of the company so my first attempt would be to generate "templates" in word and ask/replace for the values needed.
I am evaluating the http://www.ros.co.nz/pdf/, www.fpdf.org and php classes that generate pdf and as another option use docbook to convert. I am not sure which way is better. >From my point of view: a) Both classes seem to be fine but in order to generate (static) tables and other elements I will need a lot of programming calls/variables. So I'd have a manual and perhaps tedious/error procedure to convert the document into the "programable-version" of it. b) I do not have experience with DocBook (even tough I can code html and latex) but I could use an editor to generate the document with the tables, place images etc. Identify the template variables and call docbook to generate the pdf. I'd still have to manually convert the file but would not need a lot of calls to generate a table or even use a php programmer. I am assuming the the tags needed are more easly understanded than $pdf->addCell($data,width..)
