I have text files that contain a DIY mark-up that I need to convert
into PDF files. I'm afraid I'm going to have to build the PDF by
hand, but I figured I'd throw this out there in the hope that someone
can offer a better alternative.

For reference, here's a snippet of mark-up:
X7
FontBold = True
FontUnderline = True
Print
FontBold = False
FontUnderline = False
X.5
Print John Smith
X.5
FontBold = True
FontUnderline = True
Print Text data;
X4.5
Print More text data;

Horizontal spacing is controlled by the X values (in inches) and by
spaces in the "Print" commands. Vertical spacing is thru CR/LF.

This will be part of a real-time process running in RPG, with a
transaction rate of about 1000/week.


I appreciate whatever feedback you can provide. :)
