Re: RPGCGI - Convert HTML page to PDF

Aaron,

Look into iText.  It is Java-based so it will run on the i.

I have a customer that needs to take an auto insurance form that was built
with HTML and convert it to PDF so it can be emailed to the customer after
they write the policy.  The HTML is created and now I have been tasked with
converting it to PDF.

The main requirement is that everything must run on the IBMi which means I
am looking for a Java tool to accomplish this most likely.  There are a
number of tools out there (both free and commercial) and I am wondering if
others have attempted to do this and what you ended up choosing for a
solution.  Here are some of the solutions I am looking at right now:

http://pd4ml.com  - very simple API and very inexpensive (around $150 US
dollars)

http://today.java.net/pub/a/today/2007/06/26/generating-pdfs-with-flying-saucer-and-itext.html

Anybody have suggestions on what I have listed or other suggestions based
on
your experience?
