preserving *.pdf format

[tnez05]

Don't know where I would ask such a question but... I have a job website in which users are filling out and submitting their information into a pdf form and a button automatically emails their responses to me. However, it emails me the form in an unformatted text. The web administrators say that they support perl and php scipt to preserve the look of the pdf form being submittted. How would I go about designing script to put in my webpage to enable the format to be preserved when I receive it in email??

Hi

If they are downloading a pdf.. and then filling in the data in the pdf and themn e-mailing the resulting file (file should be called name.fdf) this file auto links to the form it was created from... so to view the data correctly the person opening the fdf file would need to point this file toward the pdf doc master (on your PC etc) then you can see the info 100%. The other way would be to rather creae a form on the web site (php file) that can send the data in a format you could upload to a database etc. If you look at the link:
