Can I have a user submit a form and receive a PDF copy?
Not quite sure how to ask this :) But what I need is to have some forms online that people can fill out, like registration form etc开发者_如何学Go. They will then submit it and be emailed it as well as me and have it stored in a database. Is there a way for the files to be PDFs? Can I have an editable PDF form online? Thank you.
Can I have an editable PDF form online?
Not exactly -- but you can have a normal form (HTML served on HTTP), and in the server-side method that accepts POST
requests, validate the user-supplied data, and if all is fine then generate a PDF on the fly and return it as the query's result, email it, store it, whatever.
Details all depend on yr server-side language (e.g., if Python, you'd probably use ReportLabs' popular PDF-writing package -- but there are many server-side languages and I'm not likely to know the best solution for your own preferred one, statistically speaking;-). But the general concept isn't all that different in each server-side case, and I hope I've summarized it adequately in the previous paragraph;-).
