Could this be done within app or would it have to be linked to a website form. Could it be internal custom html sheets that yield a range of data via user input to then be merged into a pdf or word doc - all done native.

Only way to accomplish this is to use custom html or custom Url pointing to html or (more reasonable) php-script. The script would handle all the requests and generate you desired pdf.

I will post the code if I crack it via objective C. I have a dream that I fall asleep and David with matchsticks in his eyes codes a new option on the BT menu. I had a similar dream of Angelina Jolie calling me - I have never awoken to the phone ringing.

That'll take some scripting as well, but here are some decent skeleton scripts for that if you Google it. I'm thinking it would be a huge coding task to write it into the app itself.

The link is a great help Parker my son saw you on an earlier posting and said you looked like the man in a kids film called 'tooth fairy' I thinks he is a WWF wrestler. So if David unlocks the server room door there is a second carer as movie/wwf star. Comments Thanks Mark maybe having this as my first lesson in objective C might be a little ambitious.

That's hilarious but unfortunately I've seen myself shirtless and I look nothing like The Rock. That dude is huge! Comments Haha!
