thx for your feedback. There might be something unclear about the idea but it's not really something straightforward. There is already a lot of software with similar features, the most famous one would be inDesign server. Pdf.js allow to view PDF file but not to integrate user data at some specific place. You can also code it manually but the aim here is to have multiple PDF templates (like posters, menu restaurant, etc..) and coding it everytime wouldn't be that efficient.
- dragonbonheur 13y agoHow about coding an interface to manipulate pdf.js output? That library can also output files, so it's not just for viewing. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9328551/how-to-use-pdf-js http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9328551/how-to-use-pdf-js Also, Libre/Open Office/Symphony can all output to PDF format. there are also lots of virtual PDF printer drivers around for free. It's a crowded market. Edit: after more investigation, it turns out the right library is jsPDF http://jspdf.com/ http://jspdf.com/
- trez 13y agoLibre office/Open office doesn't solve the same problem. Our goal is not to create a PDF from scratch but to create a copy of an existing PDF with some customised information added by a non technical user. Basically the best usage I would imagine would be a CV creator. I totally agree the market is crowded but they are mainly on desktop application whereas we target website integration. That's still a crowded market but we feel there is a place for less "corporate" way of doing it, ie to not pay $10 000+ and have a SDK to integrate in your website. Thanks again for taking time to giving your point of view.
