RE: When will the IBM i community adopt HTML for reporting?

Careful, there. I've got a client whose network kids are constantly changing
IP addresses, so the printers quit working. Instead of calling the helpless
desk, they've figured out how to use Excel to suck up the data they need.

Store it as PDF somewhere like Sharepoint or OneNote. We have automated

My opinion only but I don't think we should be generating reports on the
iSeries at all. That should be done in a GUI tool calling iSeries Stored
Procedures to get the data.

When you generate you can print, or make a PDF or whatever.
