PDF to Turning Pages similar with PageSuite and FashPageFlip

Create software that coverts a PDF document in to a set of pages that can be turned like a book / magazine. I would like to include the zoom, print and a download function for the PDF, but also enable the addition of links from a defined section of the PDF to be made in to links.
Similar online solutions are available from companies such as PageSuite and FashPageFlip but I need something we control and ca be placed on our own sever using what OS is best suited.
Based on initial development extra functionality will be added.

A better SWF template and the usage of swftools.

Creating Dynamic PDF Online and Download it After Payment

Needing website to produce dynamic PDF files that can be downloaded and printed.
I need a web page that can display specific templates I have created that user can change the font, color, wording, upload photo etc on the template– then pay, download file and then print from their personal printer.
What it would look like on my site:
* a page that displays all of the template choices
* they click on a template, which takes them to a page where they can make their changes (font, color, wording etc)
* see a proof
* approve and save
* pay
* download the PDF they created
* It would be important once they have payed, created and downloaded the file it can no longer be changed!
* They would need to login again and create a new PDF

maybe FPDF, iText, iTextSharp all can be used in this project, I am not sure.

How to create a unique ID in a PDF using JavaScript

On RAC, I noticed a bid named “Create a small Interactive & Dynamic PDF Order Form in Adobe Designer”, said

I need a PDF ‘Order Form’ to be sent by email when completed. This form will auto generate a unique serial number, consist of radio buttons, check boxes, javascript validations(scripts), text fields, number fields, etc.
The order form will be used by customners to order personalised products (to have their name on it), the form will have a section for user to enter personalised text, change font, text size, etc.
After filling up the form, the form will have a submit by email button and print button. Submit by email means the form should attach itself in a new email message as PDF and send it to a pre-programmed email address.
The form will be interactive and dynamic which means for e.g. upon clicking a radio button, a section or controls are visible or turned active/inactive – more or less like a software application form!
More details will be given later during bidding.
This interactive and dynamic form will be designed in Adobe Designer however you are free to suggest and (if approved) use any other software to create such a PDF form.

After reviewed the requirement, I think the difficult point is “This form will auto generate a unique serial number”, so I think it would be better if exists a javascript class/function can be used in PDF to create a UUID/GUID, after searching and testing, I found JavaScript UUID Class is what I want.
