RE: Create PDF file with lines on AS/400

["Mark A. Manske" <mmanske@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

CPYSPLFPDF is a cheap option, but you will have to use "normal" text
to create your gridlines as it does not support underline and such.

Brad Stone has a rather inexpensive tool to do the same thing.

If you are REALLY adventuress and are on V5R1 with all the software
that you need from IBM, you can even do it there, I have only glanced
enough at this option myself, as I just don't have the time to look it
over right now - hopefully in August - of which year I am not sure.

I do not have the links handy, the archives have discussed pdf output
in great detail a few different times.

I am attempting to create a price list with the typical item#, description,
price, etc.

I want to place horizontal and vertical grid lines on it to make it easier
to read.

The file will be created in RPG or COBOL, output to a physical file or spool
file.

The end result must be a PDF file, which will be emailed to a printer.  The
PDF file must contain the horizontal and verticle grid lines.

Anyone have a method to do this?

Inexpensively?

I know we can purchase an expensive forms package.  Any cheaper method?

Thanks!!
