Re: Copy PCL to PDF

[Jason Abreu <jason.abreu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have found a solution.

An open-source Java solution at sourceforge.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/openpcl/

It's written in Java and the conversion classes are in a separate jar 
file that I can include in my own project.  So, best of all, it can run 
native on the iSeries.
