All, This is all good stuff but... Now I have all the nice and wonderful pdf files that are generated. These files are stored on the IFS (file system), what can I do with it? Yes, I can e-mail it and some other wonderful things but what if I need to print them overnight on one of the AS/400 printers? This is my problem at this time.

Since your mail reader does not understand this format, some or all of this message may not be legible. -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] I am using FOP to generate PDF from Java. It is an open source product from the Apache foundation. http://xml.apache.org The principle is: - represent your data into an XML document - use XSL-FO to describe the transformation of the XML information into a PDF doc - use FOP to process the XSL-FO and to generate the pdf XSL-FO is a standard of the w3c to describe documents in pdf (include description of the pages, format of the pages, numbering, ...). FOP is a java implementation of this standard. The really good thing eith it is that you describe your document in XML and use XSL to represent it in whatever you want (html, wml, pdf). In this case you use XSL-FO for the pdf. You can really do very complicated representations it is really powerfull. You just need some time to learn FO correctly.

The goal is to use java to print this PDF and as always we do not want to buy more software. I know the printer has PostScript Level 3 capability (The rumor is that it can print PDF files directly). 1. How can I print the PDF directly from a 5250 session? 2. What do I need to do from Java to print the PDF file? Any suggestions?
