Nathan,

I'm sorta doing the same thing, but outputting the email source text to a
source file member then using MMAIL to send that source member as an email
body. The link is specified like [a href=xxxx]text[/a] within the source
member, and shows up in the email fine - if it's viewed as HTML format. If
it's viewed as plain text, no so much - they get the whole, ugly link
instead of a friendly clickable one.

I'm needing to get around that by generating a PDF.

How do you do yours? Is it utility you can point me to, or share?


Thanks,
TomH

Client now wants to include within the generated PDF some links to
various webpages on their web server.


We do this by outputting HTML instead of spool files from RPG programs, then
transforming HTML to PDF. We have a utility for doing this.
