The guys at SetaSign maintain PHP libraries of their own design, for what it's worth. I run the "PDF service" potentially alluded to. Check the Fill PDF module in Drupal. Looks like I have to hone my Java skills. Darn. On Aug 2, 2012 5:55 AM, "blowagie [via iText - General]" < ml-node+s2136553n46

There is Fill PDF http://drupal.org/project/fillpdf for Drupal, but yeah, it's basically using PHP/JavaBridge or pdftk (which can't stamp images). There is also Seta-FormFiller and Seta-Stamper, but they are cost-prohibitive for some projects. Maybe someone could start a Kickstarter to raise enough

Hello Wouter, I forwarded your mail to Dries. We're meeting @ Acquia in Boston on July 10th. We'll brainstorm about the different options. Many have started an attempt to port iText to PHP; all attempts have failed so far. PHP is very different from Java, and I don't see any competing PDF prod

Ouch, Mono sounds like a heavyweight requirement for a lot of web frameworks. But can't you just write a module for Drupal that is a wrapper or a bridge for iText, running in Java? Also, read this discussion from 2009: http://itext-general.2136553.n4.nabble.com/PHP-port-in-the-works-td2154422.htm

I think you should use Apache and Mono, by the module mod_mono. Because Mono run in all Linux distros. So if you use Mono that is a .NET free implementation, you can use iTextSharp by calling a webservice or little program to do the task. But, I think are java solutions in the same way too. 20
