Info-Profits Talk - How the PDF file can be customized?

delavera

Suppose I create a PDF file with some links my affiliates
can "customize". The question is "how" a PDF file created
by the script can be customized??

Thanks for your attention.

Hello John

To customise your PDF, it is called in this format:

index.php?file=NAME OF FOLDER

To see it in action with a sample file, please see this thread:

For a detailed description of how to do this with your own files, please see this thread:

Thanks for the rapid reply.
However I need to clarify my question...

I was able to create my PDF file by using the information inside
the thread you mentioned. So, the *creation* of the PDF
works perfectly.

My question is: can I create a PDF file that my affiliates can
customize?? I mean, should it be done manually by altering
the information for each affiliate, create a new file inside
the htmlfiles folder and point each affiliate to his/her folder?

I hope it's clearer now.

If you'd like each of your affiliates to be able to pick up a custom version of a PDF with their affiliate link inside, you should only have to create one copy of the source.

Then wherever you want them to be able to customise, you would have text like this within the source itself:

%%Text that appears in PDF|Default URL%%

So for example:

%%This is my affiliate link|http://www.yahoo.com%%

And let's say your source file is in the folder:

CustomPDF/htmlfiles/MyPDF/

All you would need to do is send your affiliates to the following link:

index.php?file=MyPDF

What the script does there is search through your source file, and wherever it finds %% it adds it as a field to the page.

So on that page your affiliates can replace the default URL's with their links, press the button, and they then have a customised PDF they can distribute.
