RE: How do I create a PDF with embedded links?

I looked at iText a few days ago - it was bit beyond my rudimentary Java
skills.


Thanks,

Hi Tom

I'm looking at a somewhat-related issue - inserting PNG signatures into an
existing PDF created using one of the techniques, such as OVRPRTF or MMAIL's
commands.

I'm looking at iText, a Java PDF library. I saw some examples of embedding a
link using that library.

There were also examples of putting an image where I want it and resize and
all.

It'd probably require some Java chops to make something callable from RPG
without doing a zagillion method calls out of RPG.

(system V6r1m1)



I have a program which creates PDFs from a qsysprt override, it's been
working well for weeks. Client now wants to include within the
generated PDF some links to various webpages on their webserver. The
link is to look something like 'AB-CC-00001', and when the user clicks
the link a webpage opens at the referenced page.



I'm fairly certain that what I'm doing now (override qsysprt to pdf)
will not get the job done, and that I'll need some other utility.



Some recommendations?



Thanks,
