auto gen pdf w/variable names

Hi,



I have the challenge to do the following:



First example is business cards...



Select business card templates...

enter information for cards

click preview

the form data is then place in the business card templates



user see exactly how the cards will be printed



my challenge is creating the actual preview... I'm thinking I
want to take

the template/data and make a pdf file.



I'd appreciate some thoughts...

Do you actually have to present the user with a PDF?
Otherwise, you could probably get a way with displaying your
template and then using CSS positioning to place the client's info
on the graphic.auto gen pdf w/variable names
yes it has to be a pdf so that they can download and proof!

if you're on cf7, it should be fairly easy using cfdocument,
though for super

atomic positioning you might need to dip into the java lib
(iText) that powers

cfdocument. on cf6, you need to jump through more hoops but
you can do it as

well using iText.
