Is there a way to pull data from a MySQL database into a PDF file?

Question

I have a PDF form with fields already created. Is there a way to dynamically get the data from an online database like MySQL into the form?

Answer 1

Hmm.. its not that straight forward.

1. Create a Word document with the form and place bookmarks where the fields are required.
2. Dynamically populate fields onto Word doc from MySQL
3. Print the Word Doc using PDF Factory (www.pdffactory.com) - a free download that can generate PDF Files from Word easily. At Print you have an option to save the PDF.
