Well since you didn't mention commercial vs non-commercial.....
Our iForms product can generate forms and reports documents quite easily.

I don't think it will work with your custom markup though.
You may end up writing code for that if you feel you must use custom markup.
The use HTML instead of custom markup suggestion is a good one.

subject: Re: DIY mark-up to PDF
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.? :)
