Any pointers or tips on this would be great:

I have a triggered rule that is fired when a user answers a series of questions (which are created in a view).

I then need to create a pdf, based on their answers.

If they answer 1, 3 and 5, I need to concatenate 1.pdf, 3.pdf and 5.pdf

I've looked at tcpdf and the code here:http://neo22s.com/concatenate-pdf-in-php/

In a test module (with no user id) I got an error in their code but my main worry is how to pass the user ID into the module if I create one.

Is there a better way to do this (assuming I can get the create a pdf code to work)?

Apologies for the slightly vague description.

Thanks for your reply.

Would I use that in the triggered rule?

And can I run module code using a triggered rule?

you can create a special content type "user_answer" for example then use the triggered

We have a custom Content Type with a trigger on it.

It's the step of running the pdf code using the user id that is the bit that I'm not sure on. Do I need to create create a custom action that runs the module code and add some kind of hook to the module to allow it to be run as an action?

thanks.
