    Hi

    I'm looking for something to help me get things out on paper, like invoices and order confirmations and stuff like that. I have looked in to Crystal Report but I'm not sure if this is the best thing to use with PHP, I curently using HTMLDoc but the problem is that I can't define where on the paper the diffrent text is going and so on. any one have any ide's?

    The ide is to store templates of lets say invoices, order confirmation's and other standard documents and then just call then as a function whit the text as parameters or just send an xml stream or what ever, and then get a PDF back.

    Coldfusion is good for creating PDF's on the fly, not sure how good PHP is or if it works in creating things like that.
