Using this code:
<?
$pdf = PDF_new();
$B13A = "/home/www/site/content/Property_Fact_Sheet.pdf";
PDF_open_file($pdf, "");
PDF_set_info($pdf, "Creator", "tst.php");

PDF_set_info($pdf, "Title", "Export Declaration");
if ($form = PDF_open_pdi($pdf, $B13A, '', 0))
echo "GOOD<BR>";
if ($page = PDF_open_pdi_page($pdf, $form, 1, ''))
echo "GOOD<BR>";
else echo "FAILED";
/* get the dimensions of the imported form */
$width = PDF_get_pdi_value($pdf, "width", $form, $page, 0);
$height = PDF_get_pdi_value($pdf, "height", $form, $page, 0);
//Create new page and place existing form on the page
PDF_begin_page($pdf, $width, $height);
PDF_place_pdi_page($pdf, $page, 0, 0, 1, 1);
PDF_close_pdi_page($pdf, $page);
//Write data to the form
PDF_set_text_pos($pdf, 70, 486);
PDF_show($pdf, "Hello");
PDF_end_page($pdf);
PDF_close($pdf);
PDF_close_pdi($pdf, $form);
$buf = PDF_get_buffer($pdf);
$len = strlen($buf);
header("Content-type: application/pdf");
header("Content-Length: $len");
header("Content-Disposition: inline; filename=B13A.pdf");
print $buf;
PDF_delete($pdf);
?>
The end result is it printing:

The pdf exists and was created with acrobat 6. Thanks
