Dynamically create a PDF with a background image

Question

I'm trying to dynamically create a PDF (on the server) with some text on top of a pre-defined background image. I'm using PHP and I can't seem to find anyway to do this.

I've looked into http://www.fpdf.org/ and a bunch of other options.

I'm not opposed to using Flash either if it will do the trick.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to get this to work?

Answer 1

With FPDF you can do it like this:

$fpdf = new FPDF();
$fpdf->AddPage();
$fpdf->Image('background-image.png', 0, 0, $fpdf->w, $fpdf->h);
$fpdf->Output();

Old question I know, but this might help someone.

Answer 2

You should take a look at this class, I really love it. It renders HTML to PDF, and if you define a Background-Image with CSS it will be in the created PDF.
