OT (comp.lang.php): PDF to Server

Aug 7, 2010 1:51 pm

I'm looking for a solution of how to get a filled in PDF form sent to
a server and stored in a relatively secure way.

I know that you can wire a pdf so that it will use the client's email
to attach it. I do not know how to do that in a somewhat secure fashion.
I'm thinking pgp would be an effort on the clients part.

Obviously this would be trivial to post to https in html. But there
are features of the PDF that are needed.

Pointers appreciated, Google is not helping... comp.text.pdf appears to
be low traffic, hence the post to comp.lang.php in the off chance either
php could be involved or someone with cross experience might know.

So, just because the correct newsgroup has low traffic you think it's ok
for you to post in an incorrect newsgroup? Some people really have
giant balls.

PDF does not work over a network. That's why you don't find anything
about it.

what's wrong with just uploading it and tucking it into a secure
directory or a database?

i totally miss those features of the PDF that are needed.
- Which features are you talking about?
- Which features are getting lost when writing a script in PHP to get
the filled in PDF form stored on a server?

tell us what you want to do with that PDF, and why you think PHP can
help you with that.
