I have a customer that needs to take an auto insurance form that was built

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:

dollars)

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