Re: Web Forms to PDF (was AFP-To-PDF)

So, are you wrapping Java? I am curious because I am using a pretty old version of iText, the one that preceded the current versions that are very restrictive in licensing (Affero General Public License (AGPL) ) and it is used in a few of my Java programs. I know that they have developed solutions for other languages but I would guess that the version for IBM i environment would be Java.

I know that there are also some iText "work a likes" that might be based on C but I am curious about the language your "black box" uses....

Nice start, but if you're going to provide an example provide a
code-complete example with the PDF generation logic as well so someone
without experience can adapt your example.

I'm invoking a black-box utility to transform HTML to PDF which is based on
iText. But I've never really examined the code, myself. I just implemented
HL wrappers around a couple of branded solutions.

Otherwise it's not very useful when you just show a little RPG logic to
process the fields and then call your black box.

What's the problem with just calling a black-box utility? Frankly, I'd
rather not take the time to immerse myself in the code behind it. Why not
just use it like a %bif().
