But here the question is i have no data to get from db these all fields store at the end of the all sep. How can i get the 1st step data to generate PDF file.

I think cookie is the best idea

<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript">
set_cookie( "name", "ajay", 1 );
set_cookie( "id", "101", 1 );
set_cookie( "gender", "male", 1 );


function set_cookie ( cookie_name, cookie_value,
    lifespan_in_days, valid_domain )
{
    // http://www.thesitewizard.com/javascripts/cookies.shtml
    var domain_string = valid_domain ?
                       ("; domain=" + valid_domain) : '' ;
    document.cookie = cookie_name +
                       "=" + encodeURIComponent( cookie_value ) +
                       "; max-age=" + 60 * 60 *
                       24 * lifespan_in_days +
                       "; path=/" + domain_string ;
}


</SCRIPT>

Now using FPDF

<?php
require('../fpdf.php');

$pdf = new FPDF();
$pdf->AddPage();
$pdf->SetFont('Arial','B',16);
$pdf->Cell(40,10,'Hello World!');

$pdf->Cell(80,10,$_COOKIE['name']);
$pdf->Cell(80,10,$_COOKIE['id']);

$pdf->Output();
?>
