Re: XML 2 PDF

The Paraguayan law describes in detail the XML file to send as a bill,
but it also requires to provide the client with a printed version if he
request it.

Our "public relations" people want the printed copy to be pretty.

Will overlays allow me to use different fonts sizes?

We still use DDS for reports but we are giving users CSV files more and
more instead of reports.

When we do reports they usually have overlays for boxes and logos,
graphics, etc.

To comply with a new law to create and process electronic documents, we
need to select some items from a large XML and generate and mail a PDF.
As a "proof of concept" I wrote a program that puts in a PDF a couple of
items (need more) and mails it. Before I do all the program I will like
your opinion about the way I am doing it. In RPG: Select the XML from a
table (SQL) XML-INTO to split the XML Override the printer to ifs
(gives a PDF) Move to field in a printer file (DDS), write... sndsmptemm
... --> my mail client receives a message with the PDF attached. Why
do I ask? It was a long time since I did the last printer file, and I
did not used any pretty stuff, just plain text, so I need to learn about
box, lines, fonts etc. in DDS. I was surprised when I opened the
manual in the 7.4 page, and found the 7.2 manual, no new things in 7.3
nor 7.4. Is it a good idea to use DDS? Is DDS going away? Are there
better alternatives? TIA Raúl
