Phil,

If you have formatting and pictures it won't be a simple swap. You may
want to look at either:

1. Finding an application that can do this in the PC. You could send them
there to get converted, then get the PDF and email it. I've done this for
redaction purposes and it works pretty slick just using FTP and some IFS
APIs to watch for the conversion to complete.

2. Change the process to use PDF only instead of RTF.

3. Change the process to use HTML which would work via email as well.
Converting from RTF to HTML also I would think would be much easier.

More details on my process:
RTF template created via MSWord and has pictures, bold characters,
different fonts etc. It also contains reserved keywords. It's saved to
IFS.

Then I copy RTF file via CPYFRMSTMF to a database file and via RPG
program replace reserved words with the data. Then via CPYTOSTMF I copy
"massaged" data back to RTF file. This part works perfectly. Now I need
to convert my RTF file into PDF in order to attach it to email. This
part of the process is unknown to me. If I understood you correctly it's
possible to read/update PDF files directly from RPG program. Could you
please tell me where I can find the documentation or sample code on how
to do this.

Thanks,
-Phil
