php pdf editor
Is there a generic class or set of functions that allows programmatic editing of a pdf file using php on a web server?
I will probably need to replace specific text and some images in a generic pdf document based on logon info from a specific user.
Thanks

I need to be able to edit PRE_EXISTING pdf files.
I have used FPDF for years, to CREATE pdf's. Can it be used to edit existing pdf's?

Ray,
How would I deconstruct the existing pdf?
I found what I think will work. It turns out the pdf's I am starting with are "generic" I will only need to concatenate two pdf's; the one I have & a new one I can construct with FPDF. I can use the "base" pdf as is
The info I have found says there is an FPDI that allows concatenation. I will try that.
