Thank you everybody for your input and advice.

Already spent a good few hours working out how to get data from a HTML Webform into the CGI script then getting that info into a simple unstructured / formatted PDF document and then attaching the PDF document to an email using user info such as the persons name and email address and all's working a treat so far.

The mail recipient is recieving the email and the attachment with the data i put into the PDF document.

Very Happy So Far

I've decided that i will need to get roughly a minimum of 43 bits of data into the PDF document and upto a maximum of 53 parts of info, this includes one perhaps two images / logo's. Some of the data is blocks of text. I haven't tried to get an image in yet, that's todays task

Today's task is also to find out how to get clickable links in there, "Go to MyWebsite" "send MeAnEmail"

Today's task is also to work out / research how to position this data in a specific location on the page

Wish me luck!
