Re: Merging PDFs -- MIDRANGE-L

If you were only going to charge a license for a single system Richard then I might be able to find the $s - simply based on the time I could save in implementation. But I rather suspect that you’re not that generous and are going to want a significant number of $s for each system that this is installed on - and that would be muchos dinari.

But if you really want to be nice just let me know <grin>

Sure they don't have any budget ?

Our API's run on Java 1.5 or 1.6 and we manage the classpaths for you.

Merging PDFs is a good thing and pretty fast with the 32-bit JVMs :-)

If there's a business requirement there must be an ROI to not manually assembling documents eh ? :-)

How to run any Java is not an issue. We know how to do that.

We are trying to avoid the issues that inevitably arise when you have to worry about installing a Java app on multiple systems at a wide variety of release levels - some of which may already have a version of the app in question on the box. Etc. etc. We already have to install a bunch of RPG and C code - adding the PDF capability to that would not impact install - but adding Java will and we?d rather avoid it.

... PDFBox and PDFSam are Java open source and they have very easy to use commandline utilities, you could use without writing any java (or embedded Java in RPG). If you use the command RUNJAVARUN (it's part of Open Source CommandGate, the little sister of ArdGate) you would have no classpath issues and the merge of 2 PDFs will be very fast (subsecond) and scalable. From the native Perspective you would simply use the Command RUNJAVARUN.
