I have been trying to take a PDF form, built in Adobe's Designer, populate from an HTML form with PHP and FDF.  I am getting it as far as the FDF, and that is all it is populating.   I have checked all my paths and they are correct and all of the files are uploaded.  I am not getting any php errors.  I got the code from an old open source web site, that does not have support, and the sample on their site also doesn't work. 

If I can get this last part fixed I would like to post it so anyone can use it, I've looked forever for something that would populate a pdf from an html form and this is as close as I have gotten.  I have already fixed several other issues the code had.

Does anyone have any idea where I should look for a solution to this problem?  I have already googled it several different ways, and not found a solution, but I might be missing something.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Also, when I get the code done, where should I post it?

The site had a tutorial, and I followed everything it said to a tee.  Most of it was over creating you PDF file.  That was the easy part.

I got the code working up to the part where it makes an fdf, I just can't figure out why it won't go from fdf to pdf. 

The site is live, message me if you would like to see it.
