You'll need to use one of the PHP PDF libraries. FPDF (http://www.fpdf.org/) will probably do everything you need and it has the benefit of not being a compiled extension.

Whichever library you use, it is likely to have its own documentation and reference resources.

As the other answers mention you need to use a PDF library.

I personally prefer http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.pdf.html

Use one of several existing PDF libraries or one of several existing webservices

There are a number of solutions for writing PDF files from PHP. The one that I know best is called TCPDF.

The reasons I recommend it are:

• It's open source

• It's in active development and gets regular updates

• It's very feature-rich

But as I say, there are other options, several of which have been suggested by others here. You'll need to investigate them all and find out which best suits your needs.

I have found the solution I have used createFDF library from following site, http://koivi.com/fill-pdf-form-fields/
