i know about fpdf but i want to use dompdf.... what i am thinking i'll display a form to the user ... user will enter some entries..... and this html is sent back to the server.. and server generates a pdf file and sends it to the user... any ideas??

Is there any reason in particular that you want to use dompdf? You're asking for our help with a very general situation but seem to have more specific goals-- there's nothing wrong with using dompdf, but if we know your goals that will help us give you advice.

well,i am a newbe, i am thinking of sending the html form to the server along with the input values using javascript... and then i can create pdf on server and send it bac to the user... so now even if the client does not like the layout I can change the html.. and will be faster than again changing the php code used to generate pdf using fpdf....
as far as i think this is a better way...
and one more thing....
I tried to generate pdf using dompdf.. its not working .. i have installed it properly.. there errors displayed... bit whenever i hit the link... the browser shows

"This webpage is not available"

is there something i am missing...
