Hi,
Is anyone using the native PDF output support on the AS/400 (V5R2) yet?
What licensed programs do I need to be able to use this?  How does it work?
I assume that the PDF documents are stored in the IFS in a folder.  How do
you implement this?  Is it a printer file attribute?  Does the AS/400
support a WRKSPLF-like function for these documents?

I have lots of questions about this and have not been able to get the info I
need (at a developer's level) from the IBM website.

We have a current need to generate PDF reports for web display.  I know of
several third-party products we could use, but if possible, I'd like to use
the built-in IBM products.

TIA
