title: Creating PDF using PHP and inserting data
body: <p>I realize similar questions have been asked here and other places but I am having trouble finding information relevant to what I am trying to do that was written within the last 5-10 years so any help is much appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>What I would like to do it have an html form that when filled out and submitted generates a PDF which is 3.5" x 2" @ 300dpi with a 0.125" bleed on all sides. The form would be simple text entries: name, email, etc and it would place them onto this premade 3.5" x 2" PDF file (a template of sorts with a background image etc) and then save a new file with the text entries added. The PDF may also be emailed after creation.</p>
  
  <p>What sort of library would be best to accomplish something like this in PHP 5.2? Would I need to first create an html/css layout of the document and then convert it to a PDF? I'm feeling a bit lost here.</p>
