Re: How do I create a PDF with embedded links?

Hi Tom

I'm looking at a somewhat-related issue - inserting PNG signatures into an existing PDF created using one of the techniques, such as OVRPRTF or MMAIL's commands.

I'm looking at iText, a Java PDF library. I saw some examples of embedding a link using that library.

There were also examples of putting an image where I want it and resize and all.

It'd probably require some Java chops to make something callable from RPG without doing a zagillion method calls out of RPG.

I have a program which creates PDFs from a qsysprt override, it's been
working well for weeks. Client now wants to include within the generated
PDF some links to various webpages on their webserver. The link is to look
something like 'AB-CC-00001', and when the user clicks the link a webpage
opens at the referenced page.


I'm fairly certain that what I'm doing now (override qsysprt to pdf) will
not get the job done, and that I'll need some other utility.


Some recommendations?


Thanks,
