AmitOf course you can do that. I'll even give you a couple ideas of what to look for. And this is what we have already done - what is your time worth? Our software is not all that expensive, others are more, others are less. It's worth at least looking at commercial solutions. If you are working on a commercial solution yourself, consider asking us about a relationship.
Philosophical point made! Here's what can be done - at least. You can get PDFs from using InfoPrint Server. This is IBM's product. I've done it myself for fun, we even have a small product that facilitates its use. But you don't need it if you want to do a fair amount of work. Anyway, go to InfoCenter and look up InfoPrint Server under the Printing topic.
As to emailing, there are at least 2 options - SNDDST (easiest but problematic) and the email APIs - QtmmSendMail - is better. Of course, we've done the heavy lifting already - as have the other vendors who have responded or been recommended to you.
You should be able to google on these and get some examples - IBM has lots of stuff, as they are the source of the stuff in the first place. And search the archives of this list. Or join iSociety and use their search engine - it goes to several resources. www.isociety.org is the link - it is NOT a vendor.
