Which Language to use...

    Hi All,

    I have been asked to look into a project and I would like some opinions on what language(s) would be best suited to perform the tasks. What I am aiming to do is create a simple annotation tool for PDF documents, which will then communicate with a remote server database to store the PDF + annotations (whether as 1 file or 2 seperate files) and to send email notifications to designated people once any annotations have been saved.

    Initially my boss thought an SQL server database combined with a Flex designed - browser based - tool would do the trick. However, my understanding of Flex is that it creates a Flash applet, which has no support for .PDF files, and is also not designed to communicate with SQL.

    Am I correct about Flex, and if so what would be the best language to use to build this project.

    Thanks in advance for you help! :)

    Billy

    i believe PHP is best for your problem

    because we can create pdf simply using php function and also lot of class can be in php
