If the sample results link doesn't open into a PDF form, right click on the link and save it to your local computer before opening.

Many businesses have forms in a standard and consistent format and need the form results to return to them the same way. Many times these forms are posted online as printable PDF forms, requiring customers to complete and return them by either fax or mail. With the right form processor and Adobe Acrobat Professional, these forms can be submitted online. PHPtoPDF-FormHandle will do just that.

This Spam safe PHP based generic form handling script will parse the results of any PDF submission form, blocking common spam attempts and sending only valid pdf form results to the specified email address. Results are delivered as an FDF file attachment that, when opened, automatically imports results into the original PDF form for viewing and/or printing.

If spam makes it through, a quick edit to your script will filter future spam attempts by IP address or form field content. PHPtoPDF-FormHandle is secure, spam proof, full featured and can be setup in minutes.
