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

Vern,

We've use PDFBox and iText (and others) and we write specific java classes
to do what we want (ie, add an overlay, concat, etc) to minimize exposure
in RPG.

So far it's worked great for 10+ years.

Hi Paul

I did some testing of iPDF, and it should fit the bill for our needs now -
and it is built on iText, so all of that functionality is there.

iPDF has a service program that does Java method calls to its Java class,
and the procedures there can be called directly. Or one can use their
CREATEIPDF command that has a lot of options.

Do you do method calls out of RPG to iText for everything, or did someone
write a Java class for things you need, to minimize the method calls from
RPG?

Vern
