Then,

you read this article http://java.sun.com/printing/

And implement it.

Just kidding.

Depending on what you want, you must know that FOP is really ressource
consuming. It can take time to generate big documents. If you need a
real performat batch night process, I am not sure it is the best solution.

You also do not really need to store the pdf on your IFS, you just generate
it, put it on a stream and print the content of the stream.

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.

Etienne

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.

All,

I want to be able to print a PDF file from the AS/400 to one of the AS/400
attached printers. 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?

Etienne
