Umm ... maybe it's just me but why would you do it this way? Surely
the correct approach is to build the PDF from the original data not
try to convert HTML to PDF.


It may help if someone were to speak up about generating PDF files directly. If I recall correctly the API offered by RJS seems rather complex when it came to absolute positioning and & GUI formatting.

I really like externally defined CSS and Dreamweaver for HTML formatting, and transforming HTML templates to stream files, using variable substitution with RPG. So much easier. CSS, in particular can be applied to all types of reports - simply by reference.
