Some great ideas, Marc! Thanks!

I like the idea of the teacher setting the certificate option. That works for my purposes better than grades. I was thinking of adding it to the grades page the teacher sees. A nice check box or something perhaps. Then for the student add a "print certificate" link on their grades page that would display the PDF image that they could print or save. That would require them to access the course one more time after they have completed everything. Hmmm - maybe emailing would be better.

I should be able to get the basic module written by next week. I will post and see what y'all think!

I have been anixiously awaiting this module, I have a need to print certificates, and was just thinking about designing one in a pdf file manually and editing the student and course information for each student then emailing it, all by hand.  If there was a module to aid in this, I would appreciate it highly, please let me know the progress on this.

Thanks In Advance.

I would like to adapt this module to making a pdf of each section of a topics based course. I write about 70 pages of text for each class that I teach. I would like the weeks lesson to be printable. Currently I do it by hand by copying and pasting into Openoffice.org 1.1 then exporting as a pdf, uploading it and linking it to the page. I would like this automatic. If I change my classnotes the pdf that they print would automatically reflect the changes.

Hi!

This webmaster did some work in phpNuke so a site visitor could generate a pdf page as well as a printer freindly one of news and sections.

The downloads are from SourceForge.  Although the site is in Itallian he does provide english instructions with the files.

Sections in PDF

He also references FPDF which has been noted in a few posts above,

I am still learning about PHP so I do not know if this info will help or not.  But, I hope it does.

Hello!

I am not a programmer but I have been looking around for ways to make pages into PDF documents.  In my travels I found this,

HTML Form to Dynamic PDF
Generates a PDF file dynamically on-the-fly based on the information from a HTML form and server-side calculations.

Is this more of what you were looking for?

Hi Jenny:

I am searching for a module for certification and found this thread.  I guess a new module must have been developed quite while.  Would you please direct me to the place that I can download and try it?  Thanks!
