So at Krymson we have gotten ourselves into a rather sticky predicament. We have a client that's starting a magazine for a particular niche. What he wants is for his users to be able to come in and add their own content to these little magazines. Every magazine would have the same format, advertisements and things like that. The difference would be each user could fill in their own content to populate the magazine. He also wants the magazines to be exported as pdf's so the users can print the magazines themselves.
Anyways I have looked at FPDF and a few things like it but I really don't see that being a plausible solution unless I can make a class that sets the basic layout and then just adds content from an html form. Possible but alot of work and alot of room for error once content starts getting added.
Another idea we've had is to again make a form and instead of using a class like that we could load a web page using the content from the form and the layout he wants. Then the users could simply print the web page.
Does anyone have a thought as to which of these might be better/easier to our cause or maybe a suggestion of some profound way we haven't thought of to make this happen?
