Re: Creating Adobe Acrobat files on AS/400

You might check out the PDFLib stuff. I think the web site is
http://www.pdflib.com. They have either have an AS/400 version, or
instructions on how to create an AS/400 version. Once you have that you have
to master the APIs to build PDF images. But its a lot easier than creating
PDF yourself!
