An interesting thought, but there is a requirement to have a document
"file" - these get stored on customer systems, uploaded in e-filing to
county clerks as legal notices (Claim of Lien, etc). So far there is wide
acceptance of .pdf and .doc.
but not html. For 20 yrs we've only used pdf.

HTML/CSS would solve all these issues.. fonts, real time generation, etc.
eRPGSDK or CGIDEV2 could easily be used to create them. You could add
images, formatting, and a whole lot more than fighting with mail merge/etc
for MS word. And the document itself could be viewed online, emailed,
printed, etc.

Just a thought.

and a second question/option - it has been asked what it would take to
put
a win server on the network that generated a word doc in real time, (some
sort of substitution/merge of data to fill out the doc, and passed it
back
to ibm i. No such infrastructure like that exists, this is currently all
on
i, and many hundreds of docs per day.. Need a hands-free simple
solution, and most likely the customer could choose the .pdf or .doc

Creating one page afpds spooled files, then converted to pdf to email
or
download from website.
The fonts have to be typographic.
Problem is there is a limited set of fonts in Adobe Reader, a limited
set
in the IBM font collection,,and appears helvetica and times roman are
on
both, but some customers take doc into Word to edit, and prefer
Microsoft's
default Tahoma. The pdf converter used will support embedding the font
used
in AFPDS - is there a way to install Tahoma on the i?
