PDF control?

[quag2000]

Hi,

 

can anyone point me in the right direction for this one?

 

I need to add purchaser details to a pdf download file.

Eg: a source pdf is modified realtime so that when it starts to download it has had the purchaser's name added to it.

 

eh a score of music. Licenced for use by: purchaser's name

 

Cheers

are you wanting to print that info right on the pdf file itself?

do you have access to the unix shell?

Yes, I'd like to add that detail into the final pdf file.

I am unsure if I have unix shell access.

I know nothing about unix shell etc, how can i check.

 

I have searched some PHP scripts that can generate a pdf file from scratch,

What I'd like is to have a starting pdf file, and when the customer checks out it adds their name to the bottom of each page, then allows the customer to download it.

 

Cheers

you will not be able to do it without some custom scripting, and able to install things via the unix shell. most hosts do not allow you to do this, you will need to find one which will allow you to do just this, generating on the fly.

one thing to note, people will always be able to change/remove the name from the file, no matter what you do to it.

Hmmm. Ok.

I guess that is unavoidable.

But really a watermark of the original purchaser will stop 90 percent of misuse for this product.

 

Cheers.
